Surely you have wondered what will be the novelties for the 2021 mobiles. Today’s mobiles may seem very complete and have little room for improvement, but there are always new technologies that must begin to be implemented. Today we review the 4 things that we will begin to see on the phones of 2021 and that right now are not very common. There are several related to the mid-range, with the processors and also with the screens.
The cameras under the screen will make an appearance in 2021
Currently cameras under the screen are just a future project for many companies. Manufacturing them is quite expensive and mass production is not too feasible. Several companies such as Oppo or Xiaomi have already made it clear that in 2021 there will be commercial mobiles with cameras under the screen. We do not know how the first units will be, but they will arrive.
It is very likely that this feature will only reach certain high-end mobiles. Depending on the quality of the system, it will be a technology that will continue to advance or be neglected. It is early to know what will happen, but we are sure that one of the star technologies of 2021 will be the invisible cameras under the screen
Fingerprint sensors under the screen will advance one level
Currently the fingerprint sensors under the screen have gone through several phases. Those sensors with multiple failures, small and without too much security, are already behind. The sensors under the screen are now much more advanced, but still have room for improvement.
In 2021 it has already been announced that there will be fingerprint sensors that will considerably improve the performance surface. This means that the sensor will be larger and you can place the fingerprint on different parts of the screen. Qualcomm is expected to be one of the pioneers in making fingerprint sensors under the screen grow in size. This will greatly reduce the number of authentication failures.
90 Hz on screens will be almost standard technology
In 2020 we have seen several mid-range devices with 90 Hz displays. One of the best examples is the realme 6, a mobile of about 200 euros/dollars that has a screen with a refresh rate of 90 Hz. It is one of the most demanded technologies in 2020 for current devices, so in 2021 it will be even more important.
Many mid-range manufacturers will take the official leap to 90 Hz. In these remaining months, prices could drop and the terminal PVPr of the terminals is not too noticeable. Realme is the company that has shown that you can make a terminal with a 90 Hz screen at a competitive price, so many others will follow, such as Xiaomi, Motorola or Samsung. If you buy a cell phone in 2021 it is very likely that it has 90 Hz.
Fewer concerns about mid-range processors
This is not a specific technology or component, but a trend that is very likely to hit the market in 2021. Mid-range processors are becoming more powerful and there are several brands that are achieving true wonders. Qualcomm is still the most renowned manufacturer, but MediaTek or Kirin are doing things really well.
A couple of years ago it was very necessary to take a good look at the mobile processor you were buying, something that in 2021 is probably not so necessary. The mid-range chips have improved a lot and will improve much more in the coming months. If you buy a mobile of more than 250 euros in 2021, it is very likely that its processor is powerful enough to have a mobile with good performance.
These are some of the things that we believe will reach the telephone market in 2021. Many of them are almost confirmed and others are speculations on our part. What is certain is that mid-range and high-end mobiles still have a long way to go.
