Figure Experts say that a curved screen is not only cool, but it also makes the phone more durable and less likely to break when dropped.
In the future, we may have "snake-printed" style phones, which have more grip and are not easy to slip off.
Experts say that future phones may be made of self-healing materials.

The global tech community is using a variety of artificial intelligence (AI) drawing tools to imagine what the mobile phone of the future will look like.
United Kingdom mobilesco.From soft "figures" to self-healing screens, from solar charging to the use of more advanced materials, some of the ideas about future phones sound more like science fiction movies. But these technologies are just around the corner, and smartphones will change dramatically in the coming years, or they will turn people's imaginations upside down.
The figure "is softer.
Companies such as Motorola, Samsung, and Huawei have all launched folding phones, but this folding feature is currently limited to the screen part of the phone.
AI tool**, one day in the future, the whole phone will be very soft. With the advent of flexible organic light-emitting diodes, flexible technology is being widely used, and some manufacturers are conducting intensive research on it.
At the end of October 2023, Motorola launched a smart flexible screen phone that can be worn on the wrist. The device is known as the world's first wearable smartphone. It has 69-inch Full HD phone screen that can be bent into multiple shapes.
According to the latest list published by the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office, Apple has been granted a patent for a new folding screen self-healing technology that solves the crease problem faced by folding phones. It is reported that in order to improve the aesthetics of electronic devices and reduce the presence of scratches and dents, Apple will introduce a layer of self-healing material into the screen overlay of mobile phones. The self-healing process can be initiated or accelerated by external stimuli. This technology heralds more durable folding phones.
Solar-powered.
In the future, people will not only use their phones in a different way than they do now, but they will also power their phones in different ways than they do now, such as using solar energy to power their phones. As a renewable energy source, solar energy is almost limitless, and many innovative technologies and devices have emerged in this field.
In 2016, Japan's Kyocera announced the development of a mobile phone that uses sunlight to charge. The device works by installing a layer of photovoltaic modules on the screen of the mobile phone, which can be illuminated by the sun for 3 minutes and can talk for 1 minute. However, since most people tend to keep their phones in their pockets, this design has not caught on.
If batteries and solar panels can be charged quickly in the sun, then using solar energy to charge mobile phones may become popular.
Self-healing.
Everyone has probably experienced the helplessness and pain of spiderweb-like cracks all over the screen after the phone was dropped.
Experts say that the phone of the future may have a self-healing function, self-repairing so that people no longer need to buy replacement parts or even replace the phone.
Last year, scientists at Stanford University in the United States developed a synthetic** that can be re-fused by heating and magnets. Made from silicone and polypropylene glycol material, this artificial ** stretches like a human without tearing, while the magnetic properties allow ** to self-align. This new multilayer thin-film sensor automatically realigns during the healing process. Using this technology, scientists may be able to create mobile phones with self-healing functions in the future.
More sustainable design.
The use of sustainable materials and resources to make mobile phones is also one of the future trends.
Even if people can't make their phones out of mushroom skins or other natural materials just yet, there are other ways to make them more sustainable. A 2019 study found that extending the lifespan of a smartphone by just one year could save 2 million cars in carbon emissions each year. An easy way to do this is to make your phone easier to repair.
While Apple and other big manufacturers have long been criticized for their difficulty in repairing, other innovators are pushing for easy-to-repair designs. For example, modular phones such as Fairphone can be quickly removed and replaced, which not only greatly reduces repair costs, but also reduces waste and extends the life of the phone.
Experts emphasize that with better materials and design, future phones may be more environmentally friendly.
Improved grip.
While this may not be the most exciting innovation in the mobile phone industry, it solves one of the annoying problems of modern mobile phones.
Experts say that the phones of the future should be less likely to drop. With the help of AI, experts envision that one day mobile phones may have "unique snake-shaped screens" for better grip and durability.
The logic of the change is simple: if the phone is not so smooth, it may not be so easy to drop, break and discard. Not only is this good for the environment, but it also helps people with disabilities a lot.
