With the arrival of 2023 and leaving behind a rather disastrous year for the world of smartphones, the same doubts as always arise about what innovations are expected in the sector that will revolutionize the field of smartphones.
And it is that, as the technology industry constantly evolves at a very fast pace, the functions that only a few years ago were an innovation are now considered essential. Just imagine fast charging or smartphones with incredible camera qualities.
Even though the market is vastly saturated with innovations and is more competitive than ever, there is still potential for creativity, even if it doesn’t seem like it.
Of course, despite all this and although the industry is constantly pushing the limits of what it is possible to do and have on mobile, the progress made from year to year is often quite small. However, it seems that 2023 has great technological innovations in store for us in the field of smartphones.
5G connectivity and advanced biometric security
5G networks are expected to be widely available in 2023, which will have a significant impact on smartphone manufacturers.
As more users search for devices that can take advantage of the faster speeds and lower latency offered by 5G networks, manufacturers will need to ensure that more of their smartphones support this technology.
On the other hand, in 2023, we may see even more advanced biometric security features such as 3D facial recognition, in-display fingerprint sensors, or other biometric authentication methods such as iris scanning.

To give you a slight idea, the popular realm GT Neo 3 achieved a battery charge time from 0 to 100% in 20 minutes. Considering this 240W load, we’re talking about it taking around 3 minutes to complete.
Also, as expected, the device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, replacing Mediatek’s Density 8100 featured in the realm GT Neo 3, which we guess could be paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. storage.

iPhone 15 with 48 Mpx camera and the new A17 Bionic
Although 2022 has been Apple’s iPhone 14 the great protagonist with its numerous leaks, presentation, and continuous tests, it seems that 2023 will mean a facelift and a new beginning for the company.
About the new iPhone 15, some rumors have already come out, although they seem almost confirmations, which speak of the new A17 Bionic inside, which would make it the most expensive iPhone in history and everything points to the Pro family Max would completely disappear. Of course, it would be replaced by another that would already be in development.
According to a recent report from 9To5Mac, both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus is likely to have a 48-megapixel camera, which is exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro models for now.
Knowing this, it is then expected that Apple’s more expensive models will receive even better specs, such as the addition for the first time of a 12-megapixel periscope lens that will allow optical zooming from even greater distances. All this, of course, will make the price exorbitant. Apple plans to launch the iPhone 15 in stores on September 23.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and its new screen design
As we already explained in another article, 2023, and despite the recession, is expected to be the year of the final takeoff of folding mobiles. According to Counterpoint Research, the folding sector has only just taken off and sales are already expected to grow 52% next year to 22.7 million units, according to predictions.
However, one of the most anticipated smartphones, the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, could finally implement a solution to the problem of wrinkles on the screen through a design change.
According to a report by the Korean publication Naver (via SamMobile), Samsung will adopt a “waterdrop ” style screen structure, like the recent Oppo Find N2 and Motorola Razr 2022. The advantage of this design change would be that when the screen is folded, there will be no gap between the two halves of the phone, making the fold not very visible on the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
At the moment, only the Fold version is being talked about and Samsung has not commented on the Flip, although it is expected that it will also use this design in this new version of its successful 2022 foldable.
