Smartphones technology is evolving fast and new technologies have lots of acceptance from the consumers. In last few years Mobile phones changed a lots and now we not even call the device as Mobile phone we call it Smartphone, because our Phones are not just Mobile but also Smarter than us.

Let's look into some new features and technologies we may see on our Smartphones in 2016

Dual Displays:
Last year we have seen some phones with Dial Display from some Phone manufactures. But still consumers are in the view of Why we need Dual Display. The second screen can do all sorts of useful things: notifications, extra controls, tickers, email briefs. We can expect more such innovations this year.

No Headphone Jacks:
There�s one thing that�s remained constant in phones since time immemorial: the 3.5mm audio jack. The USB C port or the Lightning port could replace the primitive audio jack.

32GB Base Storage:
With higher resolution cameras, millions of apps to choose from and now even 4K video, we heard of some users who exhausted their phone memory within the space of one month! We�ve been seeing 32GB base storage variants in more and more phones and hopefully, this should be the new standard.

4K screens:
2k screens are now available on a lot of smartphones but 4k resolution has only been attempted by Sony on the Z5 Premium. The advantage of 4k displays will really be felt in virtual reality (VR). Since VR is expected to catch on faster, so will flagship phones with 4k displays.

VoLTE:
Much awaited Reliance Jio Service is using VoLTE technology for their voice calls. Even now we can see many phones are featuring VoLTE eyeing the launch of Reliance Jio. VoLTE or Voice over LTE technology enables voice delivered over LTE data instead of the usual (slower) network. This means that if both your phone and network support VoLTE, you will get a better voice call experience with minimal call drops and improved clarity.

IRIS Scanners:
Fingerprint sensors are catching up now on smartphones, but iris scanning is a technology we are looking forward to. Iris scanning scans your eyes for biometric recognition to provide additional security without having to touch anything.

Dual Cameras:
There have been a few devices with dual camera setups launched in the past couple of years. It seems that given the limited space, adding more cameras is the easiest way to improve image quality on smartphones.

Li-Fi:
Li-Fi is the term used for the next generation of wireless data transfer technology � it claims a transfer speed that is 100 times faster than existing WiFi. A prototype smartphone using this technology was shown off as early as CES 2014 and we expect smartphones with support for this new standard of wireless data to start arriving sometime in 2016.
