5G Phones – The Sci-Fi Smart Phone Is Almost Here
5G Phones
5G phones are a long way off, yet, in spite of what some people would like us to believe. With a roughly ten year gap between the phone generations, and with 4G phones only now beginning to come to market, the word on the street is that 2020 will be the year of the true 5G phone. Any attempts to accelerate that seem doomed to failure. These things take as long as they take.
What can you expect from five G phones? Well, it’s always good fun to guess what technological developments might be in the pipeline, so here are a few suggestions to the phone manufacturers for features they might like to build into their 5G phones.
A five G phone must-have feature is an invisibility cloak.
The technology’s been the subject of research at Shanghai University for some time now and although they seem to be dragging their heels a bit, it seems not unreasonable to expect to be able to hide behind your 5G phone, once you’ve bought it. Keep your eyes open for the HTC Cloak-O-Phone from Verizon Wireless in the run-up to the next decade.
5G phones will be nothing without a personal TASER stun gun built in. All well and good using an invisibility cloak to hide behind, but when the chips are down, what you really want is a good old-fashioned deterrent. A smart phone stun gun deters like nothing else, when bullies are on the prowl. Look out for the Samsung Sam-Stun 5G phone from Sprint, if and when it’s released.
The ultimate luxury 5G phone, of course will be the transporter phone. The Apple iScotty “Beam-Me-Up-Phone” is strongly rumored to be the front-runner in this eagerly awaited 5G phone genre. Said to be “some way off yet”, be sure to keep on surfing for the latest news on a release date.
5G phones will have all the features of the current crop of 4G smart phones, naturally, with some exciting extras, as the technology moves into the mainstream. Foldable devices will enable novel marketing promotions, such as the Starbucks EspressoPhone, folding into a handy coffee cup shape for your convenience. Mention has also been made of wearable devices, with prototype C-K Sockophones being trialled, according to techie whisperings. You read it here first.
