If we stop to think about what has been the highlight in the phablet sector so far this year, we can find ourselves either, terminals pointers that have caught the attention of all actors from manufacturers to users, or on the other hand, a series of characteristics that aim to mark a before and after in this format. As we have mentioned on other occasions, if there is anything that defines consumer electronics, it is its rapid advances.
But, what has been the thing that has caused the most sensation in these 8 months of 2017 on media over 5,5 inches? Here we offer you a brief listing with all those elements that are already being seen more frequently in some models and that could foreseeably be implemented in the short term. What will we find in this brief list and what aspects will they focus on?
1. Rear screens
We begin with a novelty that this year has already aroused the interest of companies such as LG, Meizu and also, by others more discreet such as Yotaphone, which have launched supports with a small diagonal on the back that is used to show notifications and some basic indicators such as the time or alarms. Do you think they will have a future? If they become consolidated, could they influence the price of the devices?
2. Triple camera. Will it be the highlight of 2017?
If about a year ago, dual cameras were one of the main claims used by a multitude of firms, today, we can see some prototypes of companies such as Living that have the latest in image matters and incorporate nothing less than 3 lenses rear. The performance in this field is some of the most advanced recently and users demand fluid but also sharp terminals. Can triple systems be useful when there is still a lot to improve in doubles?
3. Front fingerprint readers
Security continues to be one of the main challenges for all manufacturers and the increase in attacks leads to the creation of new, more personalized biometric markers such as iris readers or even more so, finger scanners that have gone from being located at the rear, to being included directly on the screen or front buttons.
4. The famous Bokeh Effect
We conclude this short list of the highlights in phablets in 2017 with another first in the visual field. Today, many technology companies boast that the cameras of their terminals, in addition to having vertigo resolutions, also have almost professional functions such as this effect, which roughly creates two planes Image: A sharper foreground and a second, focused on the landscape, which loses sharpness.
What other trends do you think have decisively influenced this support in the last 8 months? We leave you related information such as a list of advances pending in other formats so you can learn more.
