The time is changing. So is the technology that we use. Today, we no longer have cellphones with bad user-interface or a poorly built hardware which only worked as single functioning unit solely used for calling. We have left it all behind and come a long way up with companies like Apple, Nokia and Blackberry who did an intensive research on innovation back then and now companies like Samsung, HTC, Sony and others who are giving hard competition to each other. In this whole process of getting an edge over the competitor, the companies are missing out on many things which makes your smartphone look dumb at the end of the day. Yes of course, they do earn browny points by giving something new to the consumers but they tend to forget the cellphone history that how it has evolved over the years and what boundaries should be respected.
So let us now look at the things that our favorite tech giants are forgetting to provide us as a good smartphone.
Small things matter
Many smartphones today don't come with a radio. The common reason given by smartphone makers is that you can find millions of radio channels online but that's where they go wrong by underestimating the power of small things as the population of smartphone users in the world is still counting so to make it big in future small things would definitely count.
Security
Of course, there are millions of applications available on Apple store for iOS and the google play for android but do you know that smartphones is the new playground for black hat hackers and they are now active and targeting the vulnerable smartphones in huge numbers. Simply installing an Anti-virus is not enough. The malicious applications remain undetected and your data can be compromised. Companies haven't done a lot in this matter.
R.I.P QWERTY
The hottest category of phones which everyone dreamt of owning slowly faded away after the touchscreen took away all the lime light.Nokia sold out to Microsoft and Blackberry which is up for sale tells us that no company is interested in reviving these phones which have a large large fan base till date. There are people who still prefer hard keys over multi-touch display but companies have turned a blind to it.
Exaggerated features
People who buy a smartphone by paying lump sum of money are often disappointed because the reality is different as the companies go all out in marketing their product and exaggerate the features of a smartphone. The most common example of this would be that companies want the people to judge the quality of a camera on the strength of megapixel but the truth is that a camera's quality depends on other things like lens, aperture and optics which the companies don't want people to know about. This myth has been busted by HTC one smartphone (5 MP camera) which takes better pictures then smartphone with 8 Megapixel cameras which works like a charm in low light. Nokia purview is the other camera phone that is breaking this barrier.
After switching from an old phone to a smartphone the last thing the user wants is to compromise according to the needs of the phone and if one does that then i don't see that phone in the category of smart instead we should call it a stupidphone.
