Until the end of 2020 we only have a few days left. This is the right time for all sorts of summaries that we treat our readers with. It is also a time when we reflect on what the 2021 year will bring. As I am responsible for the section of broadly understood mobile technology at PurePC, I want to discuss the three most important upcoming trends that we will face in the coming 12 months. Among them there will be cameras mounted under displays, rolled screens in smartphones, and the issue of increasingly modest sales sets, in which you will not find even basic, even necessary accessories such as a mains charger.

Are you wondering what the most important trends in the world of mobile technologies will be in 2021? I invite you to a small overview of the changes that you should mentally prepare for.

ZTE Axon 20 5G – The first smartphone with a selfie camera under the screen goes on global sale. You order it to Poland

The first thing to expect 2021 of the year are selfie cameras integrated with the screen. Smartphone manufacturers have been looking for a subtle method of hiding the photo module for years. The old notch has been replaced by small indentations and mechanisms that slide out of the casing, but the best is yet to come. The imperceptible camera under the screen should hit at least a few next year’s flagships. At the moment, only ZTE Axon 20 5G can boast of the presence of this solution, which, surprisingly, has been valued at the equivalent 2030 PLN

OPPO X Tom Ford: The manufacturer is preparing a compact smartphone with a slider design. It includes a rolled screen

The second trend that is mentioned more and more often is rolled displays. LG and OPPO are already working on this technology, but other manufacturers are also interested in it. I think that the first devices that use a specific development of foldable displays will be introduced to smartphones next year. I bet, however, that these will be delicate structures susceptible to mechanical damage. The beginnings of folding smartphones were similar. Probably everyone remembers the “scandal” related to the Samsung Galaxy Fold model, which was failing in the hands of the first testers.

Xiaomi is following in the footsteps of Apple and Samsung. Mi flagship smartphone 11 also without mains charger included

The latest trend that will certainly be standard on 2021, there is a limitation in the number of accessories in smartphone sales kits. When there was no charger in the boxes with the iPhones of the series 12, the network boiled up, and the indignation was endless. The company was accused of being stingy, but everything indicates that the chargers will not be attached to the new Samsung Galaxy S 21 and devices from the Xiaomi Mi line 11. I believe this is just the beginning, and the year 2021 will bring even more changes in this respect. I will not be surprised if the cables with appropriate plugs are the only “additions” to the sets. Nevertheless, I’d like to be wrong.
