Only 10 years ago, cell phones were equipped with a measly 5-megapixel camera, a low screen

Blew our minds back then, but now they’re all considered ancient relics compared to

So wait, how awesome will our phones be in 10 years’ time?

You had a hard day at work, don’t feel like cooking, so you decide to order out.

You pull your phone out while a driverless taxi takes you home.

Your device has some similarities with a standard model from 2020.

But as soon as you look at it, internal motion sensors with a hidden 36-megapixel dual camera

catch your eyes’ direction and turn on the phone.

It’s also completely transparent – you see your hand clearly through the phone's

Yet it still displays all the necessary icons and widgets: time, weather, texts, calls,

You choose the delivery function from your favorite nearby restaurant, and the food will

Not only can you see the delivery person moving on the map, but you can also watch them through

the built-in camera installed on their scooter.

You ask the taxi how much further it’ll be.

The pleasant voice of the A.I. answers, “Just 5 more minutes!”

You decide to play a mobile game to pass the time.

The graphics in the game are so cool that it seems like you’re watching a video of

You steer the car and get so worked up that you bend the phone.

But the screen is okay and keeps showing that clear image.

Phones with a flexible screen and battery were introduced back in 2018.

Developers' attempts to make the screen larger will lead to it occupying 100% of the phone

You can watch movies and videos from this portable TV screen anywhere!

But you don't swipe across the screen to do it – you just swipe your finger through

The camera reads this and closes the app.

Then you fold the tablet back into a phone and bend it around your wrist like a bracelet.

With this bracelet, you walk up to your house and say, "Open the front door."

The phone reads your voice, face, and eye color, and you’re home sweet home!

A flexible bracelet-phone isn’t the only cool gadget that may appear in the next 10

The development of tiny elastic smart bracelets has already started.

You just wear it on your wrist, and the bracelet creates a hologram of your phone’s interface.

You can manipulate this interface with your fingers, watch videos, text, make calls.

It’s like a phone screen on your forearm!

There are only two problems that could prevent you – er, this 2030 version of you – from

having such a cool hologram phone bracelet: a small flexible battery that can hold a long

enough charge and high-quality hologram that could read your commands.

If it appears by 2030, then it might only perform the functions of ordinary fitness

Well, be patient – they’re working on it!

You put your see-through phone on a wireless charger.

And this one, unlike the 2020 chargers, juices your device up much faster.

In 10 minutes, you’re already up to 100%.

And this battery can easily hold a charge for 2 days.

Also, some modern gadgets have a built-in function to charge using solar energy, but

they aren’t that good, especially in places where sunshine isn't as bright or frequent.

Charging by friction with your body will begin to gain popularity.

As you’re elbows-deep in pepperoni and cheese, you get a notification on your phone.

Without touching it with your greasy fingers, you open your message with a hand gesture.

A hologram with an 8K video appears instantly above the phone and shows a message.

Your friends are at a party, and they can’t wait for you to get there!

These phones don’t struggle to load such high-quality videos in seconds.

It’s not because Wi-Fi is now available anywhere in the world (though, that’s nice!).

It’s that you have a new type of mobile data.

1G connection with a speed of 1.9 kilobits/sec appeared in the ‘80s.

In 1991, we saw 2G with a speed of approximately 9-14 kilobits.

In 2002, we got 3G with a transfer rate of up to 3.4 megabits.

In 2018, 5G came around with its 6.5 gigabits/sec.

So 6G should be expected in 2030, and the data transfer rate will increase to 1 terabit/second.

That would be like downloading 250 movies in one second!

And watching your favorite shows and flicks will be like looking out the window.

The picture quality might even be better than reality!

But…could your phone even hold that much data?

In 10 years, it’ll be more, with almost unlimited memory.

But flashcards and internal phone memory will change too.

Scientists have already created 5D discs.

These are small thin transparent discs that can withstand fire and ice and store 360 terabytes

Such discs will become as commonplace as regular flash drives in the nearest future and will

You grab another autotaxi to your friends’ party and watch a beautiful sunset outside

You get your phone, turn on the camera, and do 100x zoom.

The camera shows you a crystal clear image.

You clearly see a flock of birds flying toward the departing sun.
