However, the expansion of mobile phone functional layout is far from stopping. The latest solutions continuously displayed by companies such as TI, Broadcom, Infineon, Micron Technology, Freescale, NXP, CSR, NVIDIA, micro missivedisplays(MED) and Microsoft will push the diversity and exquisiteness of mobile phone functions to another height in the near future.
The GPS function will prevail.
Yediot Izvestia, a Russian newspaper, published an article on 20th, saying that in the next five years, people are likely to experience more powerful video, navigation and information exchange functions of mobile phones.
The article said that not long ago, Nokia and the University of California jointly conducted an experiment, demonstrating the powerful potential of future mobile communication. 65,438+000 college students drive in different directions. Everyone has a mobile phone with GPS navigator and software for recording road conditions. These mobile phones exchange information through a central computer. It is found that only a few mobile phones can obtain accurate and reliable road information maps and can also predict the development of road conditions. Therefore, every mobile phone user will soon become a "traffic jam forecaster".
GPS positioning and navigation technology is a hot spot at present. It navigates to its destination through satellite positioning and map data. For business people, going out to visit customers or going to strange cities can be easily handled with the help of GPS. At present, most high-end smart phones have built-in GPS chips to realize navigation and positioning on mobile phones.
Internet technology has matured, with GPS, it will be more powerful, which is another trend of smart phones in 2008. GPS module will no longer be a tool to show off the functions of mobile phones, it will become more practical.
Recently, ABI, a market research company, said that more and more mobile phones embedded with GPS function will greatly promote the prosperity of location-based services. In the next five years, the income of location based service will increase from US$ 5,654,380+0.5 million to US$ 6,543,800+0.33 million. More and more WCDMA and GSM mobile phones are equipped with GPS function together with CDMA mobile phones, and consumers' interest in personal navigation equipment is increasing, which have become important factors to promote the growth of this market.

ABI said that the location-based service market is divided into five sub-markets: personal navigation, making friends, local information search, family tracking application and fleet management. Enterprise applications such as fleet management and labor tracking are expected to become the most important sources of income, and the income will reach 6.5 billion US dollars by 20 13. Personal navigation market is the second largest market, and the revenue of 20 13 will reach 4.3 billion dollars.
Popularization of HD video playback and hard 3D games
With the progress of high-resolution mobile display technology and low-power media processing technology, the rapid reduction of mobile content storage costs and faster mobile networks, mobile phones are promoting the realization of high-definition camera shooting and video playback functions, especially mobile phones with hardware-accelerated 3D graphics functions have gradually achieved the same picture quality as professional game equipment.
There are more and more special functions.
Judging from the recent market performance, the mobile phones of Disney, hellokitty and other sub-groups are very sought after, and they are sold at a very high premium, which shows that the family-oriented market for women and children has gradually formed.
Similarly, for college students, white-collar workers, learn mobile phones in English; Mobile phone for the elderly with simple function, convenient use, large screen and many buttons; With tracking function
Children's mobile phones that can only answer and dial preset phone numbers will also become hot-selling products in the market.
Recently, the concept of "mobile phone doctor" was put forward. How does the "mobile phone doctor" diagnose your illness? If you feel strange, send a signal to the computer center of the nearest hospital. Sensors placed in clothes will continuously monitor your body temperature, sweat gland secretion, pulse and heart rate. These data are automatically compared with the "physiological normal values" stored in the hospital database through the mobile phone, and then the mobile phone will tell you whether you need to see a doctor or take medicine.
There is also a simple analysis of food through the built-in sensor of the mobile phone-"electronic nose". If you want to get more information, the mobile phone can access the database of the food laboratory, transmit the coded sampling results and wait for receiving the detailed analysis results.
With the rapid development of industrial design industry and the innovation of mobile phones, mobile phone design will be more humanized, personalized and fashionable. Manufacturers will make full use of their own R&D institutions, accelerate the research on consumer demand and operator strategy, and further subdivide consumer groups and launch products in market segments through the combination of the two. Therefore, it can be predicted that as long as we can study the needs of a certain group of people and develop related products, it will definitely bring considerable benefits.
