Similar to 2019, in 2020, Apple will launch 3 new iPhones – iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 PRO Max. 

As per reports, Apple can launch the iPhone 12 with three screen sizes – 5.46 Inch, 6.1 Inch, and 6.7 Inch. 

Another rumor suggests Apple can launch a fourth iPhone this year and may call it as iPhone 12 Max. The two non-Pro models will be affordable while the Pro models will be more expensive.

iPhone-12-and-12-PRO-Max

Also, there we some reports of iPhone SE 2 launch but Apple has not refreshed the iPhone SE for many years now. 

·         Display and Design – The new iPhones are expected to come with a completely new design that may not have a notch or at least with a smaller notch. The notch was introduced with the iPhone X and it will be three years since the company introduced the concept. 

Also, another big upgrade is 120 Hz display for the Pro models and Apple may use thinner OLED panels made by Samsung for the iPhones. 

What’s more, there are some pointers hinting at an in-display fingerprint scanner or the in-display camera that we have seen on some of the prototypes From Oppo and Xiaomi. 

·         Performance and Hardware – Undoubtedly, Apple will introduce the new A14 chipset with the new iPhones. As we know the A13 is faster than the upcoming Snapdragon 865, the A14 will be far ahead of Qualcomm flagship processors. 

·         5G – All the iPhone models can have support for 5G technology as Qualcomm has already announced that the Snapdragon 865 based phones will have 5G. Most of the big markets like the US and China are gearing for 5G and till 2021 they will need 5G phones. 

·         Cameras – A lot of companies are offering Quad-Cameras now and with upto 108 Megapixel resolution. Apple may add a higher megapixel camera with 40 to 64 MP lens to the top models.

·         Faster Charging – The charging speed on the iPhones is way slower than several Android rivals and it is high time for the company to add a 30 Watts to 50 Watts Charger with the iPhone 12.

The new iPhones are launched in September every year and we can expect the iPhone 12 series to launch around 10th September 2020.

Apple iPhone 9

The much-awaited upcoming smartphone from Apple is the new iPhone 9. The low-cost iPhone will have a design much similar to iPhone 11 pro in terms of frosty glass back finish but the form factor relies on iPhone 8.

·         This iPhone boasts about 5.5″ screen. The phone powers iOS 14 chipset and A13 Bionic chipset.

·         The battery on the iPhone 9 is the same as the iPhone 8 has a capacity of approximately 2050 mAh.

·         The RAM is 3 GB with 64GB or 128 GB internal storage. It will be priced at around Rs 35000.

·         For imaging, it comes with a 12MP camera at the back while the front has a 7MP selfie camera.

The phone is expected to launch in April or May 2020.

More details will soon be shared as they get disclosed.

12). Turing Smartphone

The Turing smartphone is one of the most mysterious devices ever announced and is most radically different in comparison to anything on this list.

Turing Announces 18 GB RAM 3 Snapdragon 830 4K Display Phone

The smartphone is alleged to come with an insane 18 GB of Ram, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 and will have a 4K display.

Turing Phone is so far a concept device and it has been more than 2 years the phone was first announced but it has not yet seen the light of the day.

A dream device with every spec blow out of proportion is what the company is dreaming.

If I have to visualize the future of smartphones and concepts and ideas for 2020 –  here are the top 6 future ideas that will be popular in the coming years.

The focus has been entirely shifted, from large computing devices (PC and laptop) to incredibly powerful smartphones with devices like OnePlus 8 having 12 GB RAM or Samsung using its DEX technology to turn your phone into a PC.

Computers and laptops are quickly getting replaced with highly capable smartphones with ever exceeding computing power; I don’t have to switch on a laptop now for a lot of tasks.

Responsive website designs and Apps have made the internet a great place for mobiles.

Phones are no more just a mode to communicate anymore, they are used to do so much more and in ways never imagined before.

Great Battery Back-Up

The battery life is probably the weakest part of smartphone technology. They hardly last a day with high pixel resolution displays (Quad HD) and more power-hungry processors.

There is a need for compact batteries which can last 3-4 days with a single charge and should be much more compact than the current batteries.

4K Bezel-less Displays

Sony already has a smartphone with 4K display Sony Xperia Z5 – Worlds Highest 806 PPI 4K Display Smartphone Unveiled. Due to battery life constraints, 4K displays are not getting popular, but improvement in battery storage can lead to the return of 4K in mobile devices.

Artificial Intelligence

With Google Assist and Siri, Apple and Google are trying to bring in more artificial intelligence to mobile computing devices.

The voice recognition and contextual understanding of assistants is improving and we can expect more powerful AI-based voice assistants in coming years.

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality, Google’s Project Tango, was one of the promising starts. However, it has lost steam. We may see a resurgence in 2020. 

Tim Cook also has said multiple times that Apple is thinking big about the Augmented reality and it could be a more prominent development even when compared to the VR.

Virtual Reality

While the virtual reality is getting some steam in recent years, there is much more to be done before the technology becomes mainstream.

Both the user experience and price for using it will come down by 2020. There will be more 3D content, videos, images and games which can make the technology popular.

Google is working on daydream while there are several more VR developments from Samsung, Oculus, Sony, and HTC.

Seamless Connectivity (5G)

5G networks – I think the worst part of modern smartphones is the lack of seamless connectivity which kills the user experience.

The new phones in 2020 will have support for the 5G network and can have blazing-fast data speeds.

So that’s all from my side if you may like to read about top performance phones.
