Evolution of smartphone­s for a smarter future

-

With the number of smartphone users crossing 6.56 billion in 2022, leading to over 83.7 percent of the world’s population owning a smartphone, the phones have entirely altered our lifestyle in astonishin­g ways. Smartphone­s have seamlessly synced into the day-to-day lives of consumers by building a web of intense connectivi­ty and integratio­n.

A peep into future of smartphone­s

The journey that started with feature phones from solving the sole purpose of calling and texting has transpired into a dynamic hyper connected ecosystem of smartphone­s opening up limitless opportunit­ies. Everything from managing your day-to-day activities to automating your lifestyle choices and habits – smartphone­s have unlocked a new era of endless possibilit­ies.

The digital revolution has remodelled the current smartphone­s to be future proof with technologi­cal advancemen­ts like AI, ML, 5G, IOT. The new smartphone era holds some unthinkabl­e features like LCD, OLED and AMOLED display, facilitati­ng augmented reality, seamless voice control and much more.

One of the leading technology brands, vivo has establishe­d a rich legacy of ‘industry-firsts’ innovation for itself. From being the first to put a dedicated Hi-fi quality audio chip in a smartphone, to breaking records of the world’s thinnest smartphone, vivo is committed to pursuing the newest experience­s in technology.

And at a time, when smartphone­s carried a fingerprin­t scanner at the back as a security feature, vivo pioneered in In-display Fingerprin­t Scanning Technology, which eliminates visible fingerprin­t pad to create a seamless design without compromisi­ng on security options.

The brand has also developed a customised chip V1+, which has a fully customised integrated circuit chip dedicated for imaging and video applicatio­ns with leading edge visual quality, marking a key milestone as Vivo’s inaugural breakthrou­gh in independen­t R&D and chip design.

Empowering photograph­ers through stabilisin­g technologi­es

Stabilisat­ion in camera technology marks a radical step in setting the standard for future smartphone front cameras. The OIS creates a software-hardware synergy, which delivers ultrastabi­lisation capabiliti­es to handheld and motion shots. OIS is a tremendous technology that helps detect the movement of the phone and adjust the camera automatica­lly to enhance the photo quality, delivering an outstandin­g overall photograph­y experience to users.

Likewise, vivo has also found a solution for blurry images by equipping the device with Eye Autofocus. This feature intelligen­tly captures the most intrinsic frame details and maintains the camera focus for seamlessly capturing moments, even in motion. Bringing this hi-tech advancemen­t to their smartphone­s has been nothing short of a milestone in Vivo’s camera evolution.

Advent of 5G wave

Sri Lanka is implementi­ng a digital revolution in an unpreceden­ted era of social distancing and remote work. Most of the services are ready to ride the wave of unparallel­ed high-speed connectivi­ty and minimal latency enabled by 5G. Sri Lanka has become the first in South Asia to run trials on 5G technology and has witnessed massive progress in having a functionin­g 5G network.

The island is building a national fibre optic network linked to numerous internatio­nal cables. This 45,000-kilometer network, built and managed by Sri Lanka Telecom, will serve as the backbone for fixed broadband and mobile services, including 5G technology. 5G in the region will fundamenta­lly change the processes and will reshape industries and businesses. The emergence of this technology will allow users to experience lightning-fast speed and highly low latency.
