The smartphone has become one of the most advanced personal devices of recent decades. With the advent of the latest 5G network enabling low latency communication, and the growth in popularity of wearable devices, smartphone technology has become an essential tool for our everyday lives.
In this highly competitive marketplace, designers need to continuously develop innovative smartphone solutions to attract customers. This means manufacturers must maintain the fast pace of new product releases, with as little as 12 months between each succeeding generation.
As smartphones and wearables find new roles in exciting applications such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), designers are facing complex challenges in delivering the latest features for customers. Smartphones need greater processing power and faster communications, requiring greater performance from chipsets to batteries, and everything in between. At the same time, users expect smaller and slimmer form factors to hold this extensive functionality.
