Your kin of the future: The Smartphone

The ways of communication have changed drastically in the past two decades. More so, in the past five years. This meteoric change can be partly attributed to the introduction of high speed internet and partly to the introduction of smartphones.

The impact of smartphones has been so pronounced that this ‘change’ has percolated to our day to day activities. Compare a day back in the 2005, when there were no smartphones, to a day in the present, when there is a plethora of those — you will notice that Smartphones have changed something as basic as listening to music or reading a newspaper, for the better. Back in the days when there were no smartphones, you would need to carry a host of articles, each catering to a specific need. Say, for example, a newspaper, a notebook, a walkman or a FM receiver, a novel and/or a handheld gaming device. And now, ALL you need is a Smartphone. You can access the latest news on it, courtesy of 3G services. You can play a game in High Definition graphics, courtesy of a powerful GPU and a high resolution screen. Or you can read your favorite book as a PDF along with some music, courtesy of the powerful CPU the current generation of smartphones boast of. Owning such a device definitely gets rid of a lot of baggage and makes those rides in public transport bearable, doesn’t it?

You may now complain about how tedious the process of choosing a smartphone is or the unavailability of time at your hand. You may even tell me that buying a smartphone comes across as rocket science to you. Well, worry not. Internet has revolutionized the market place also. Flipkart, the renowned online marketplace can make your life easier by enabling you to not only browse through a massive and stupendous collection of smartphones, but also lets you order them while you are still sipping your morning tea or having an evening snack. With a lucid user interface and empowering you to compare products, the shopping experience is enhanced by the Flipkart app that sure makes it easy to get your hands on an enviable smartphone, which is turn will make your life fun.

Still looking for a reason to get a smartphone? Well, let me help you with that. High speed internet (4G/LTE) is available at affordable prices which enables you to stream your favorite movies. Multicore processors clocking as high as 3 GHz coupled with 3 GBs of RAM enable you to multitask and juggle a few roles at once. A 1080p resolution screen coupled with a graphics card that can put your old gaming consoles to shame for the gamer in you. A primary camera which can take beautiful pictures, so you do not need to carry your digicam everywhere and a powerful
secondary camera for those moments when a selfie is a mandate. Ample storage of 16/32/64 GBs for you to carry your music and photos everywhere. Stay in touch with your loved ones who are overseas without having to sit in front of your computer.

Now that you have decided to buy a smartphone, you may ask that what can be expected out of this device in the future? The future is bright, my friend. With products like Oculus Virtual Reality and Google Cardboard, the time is not far when you will be able to see the world smartly with the eyes of your smartphone. 360° videos, immersive Augmented Reality gaming, interactive movies and flexible smartphones – the possibilities are endless. The future will also see a more faithful coupling of wearable gadgets and smartphones. Moreover, the payments in future will be cashless. A lot of companies are working on apps targeted at mobile payments. So, you won’t need to carry a wallet if you have a smartphone. Apart from these, few of the websites have decided to come up with an app only version for the future. Imagine not being able to visit your favorite website just because you do not have a smartphone! Doesn’t sound good, right? So, go ahead and take a look at the enormous and useful collection of smartphones that is available in the market. It will change the way you live, but only for better.
