J K Shin, President and Head of Samsung’s Mobile Communications Business |
Samsung goes again to water our tech appetites as the year goes by. The conglomerate has revealed some of its plans for the future specifically centred on mobile. The five technologies Samsung intends to bring out in the next few years include:
1. Flexible and Foldable Devices.
They have started with their first curved smartphone called the Samsung Galaxy Round.
2. Wearable Devices
The Samsung Galaxy Gear is already in place for this. Other plans includes introducing google-glass like devices. Samsung has indicated interests in challenging the Google glass by filing a patent for a product that looks like it.
3. Better Software
Samsung presently has an OS called Tizen in place but is not willing to drop the most popular Android in its place. Their TouchWiz UI will definitely see better improvements.
4. Ultra HD Screens
Touchscreens with a higher than 1080p resolution are one of the next big things in mobile, with LG and Japan Display both already trumpeting the development of 2560 x 1440 pixel panels. The Samsung gurus are definitely not sleeping. Expect something mind blowing.
5. Custom 64 bit processors
The simple smartphone user might be wondering how this will affect usage but that tech freak that is out for gaming and top speed browsing looks at innate features like this. This is surely an encouragement for the latter.
Samsung has been ‘conservative’ when it comes to buying other companies but they say that is the future.
