CES 2011: Five New Trends in the Development of Smartphones

According to foreign media reports, the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is coming, all kinds of rumours about smart phones continue to heat up. The following is a summary of CES smartphone development trends:

4G smart phones are popular

A few years ago, the concept of the 4G mobile phone was scrambled to a high degree, but progress has been modest. Next year's CES, 4G mobile phones will be moving toward application. A few days ago, Verizon said on Tweeter that the company will exhibit “LET” 4G network technology and LTE equipment at the 2011 CES, including tablet PCs and smart phones.

Sprint, the third largest mobile operator in the United States, has been deploying WiMAX networks in various cities in the United States this year. So far, it has introduced two 4G smart phones, the HTC EVO 4G and the Samsung Epic 4G.

T-Mobile is also working hard to build 4G network HSPA+. By the end of this year, it will complete the network deployment in 100 cities. The company will release 4G mobile phones at CES. AT&T said that it has not yet announced plans to launch 4G products, and will start LTE network projects after the spring of 2001.

Front camera becomes a trend

One of the latest features of the newly released Android 2.3 smartphone is support for multiple camera functions. The future trend of 4G mobile phones is to add frontal cameras, because 4G network traffic will be able to achieve smooth video chat.

More Windows Phone 7 In October, Microsoft released the latest smartphone operating system, Windows Phone 7 (WP7). CES will be able to release the latest WP7 mobile phone. According to reports, Sprint’s HTC 7 Pro phone is expected to be officially released at CES. At the same time, Verizon’s HTC 7 Trophy phone is also expected to be released at CES.

Microsoft confirmed that the WP7 system will have an updated version in January next year, adding a lot of features. I hope to be able to publish details about this update at CES.

New game experience

Like the iPhone 4, the Nexus S smartphone also has a gyroscope sensor. It can be expected that this sensor will appear in more Android phones. The gyroscope sensor allows users to better control the game, coupled with the latest Nvidia Tegra processor, will undoubtedly bring users a new gaming experience. The Nvidia Tegra processor fuses the CPU with a GPU to make 3D images and video smoother and clearer. With better control and better image effects, the smartphone will become a mobile gaming station.

Low-end smart phones have a bright future

LG's Optimus series of Android smart phones is mainly for low-end customer base. Many manufacturers have been ignoring the low-end smartphone market and believe that their profits are too low. LG and other handset makers are likely to take this opportunity to release a group of smart phones targeting low-income groups to steal the market. The rapid development of smart phones will allow many low-end and pre-paid mobile phone users to choose smart phones in the future.
