Phones and tablets: trends 2012We begin our special trends for the year 2012 with the TV connected digital home, and now we present the second chapter on tablets and smartphones.

We speak of devices that share hardware, software and concern in the world of consumer electronics. It is clear that 2012 will be a breakout year for tablets beyond the iPad, and consolidation of Smartphones compared to other phones.

Do not say your, say Smartphone
It is a fact that the growth experienced in Smartphones, and the trend is that mobile will be smarter regardless of the price and location of the world where we are.

According to analysts at Morgan Stanley, Smartphones will be sold computers in the year we’re going to build. There is talk of 450 million units, with China as its main market, in fact this year has already surpassed the United States.

The barrier of 100 euros in Smartphones
The most important step you have to give smartphones, rather their creators and distributors, is to offer products for less than 100 euros, with all the possibilities of a next-generation smartphone.

Each month we will check that the phone down, and Android will become a reality, but also believe that Windows Phone 7 played that trick with the arrival of the update Tango.

It may seem a lot, but investors RIM are not happy with who controls the Canadian company, and the reality is that the business of going downhill BlackBerries unable to counter the success of IOS and Android, in an area where she moved like fish in water.

The downhill is one of say to compare with the rest, he has sold millions of handsets, but if you do not know how to take the ship, the destination can be crude, so that in these months is a piece that still can be assessed very well. The proof: Amazon thought of buying RIM this summer.

Specifications of myocardial
No one is going to scare the you are getting hardware phones and tablets, especially at the hands of designs ARM, but also will answer from Intel, which has been reorganized internally to be stronger in this market.

If you ask me for granted safe bet for phones and tablets with quad-core processors. Nvidia was the first, but it will be as normal as this year has been the dual-core, I’m sure Apple is also added to the next processor for iPad iPhone 3 and 5.

If I have to act by something I like to see, but it certainly is more complicated, is the advent of optical zoom to mobile phones. Best lenses are necessary for small mobile sensors to achieve a quality finish that will give headaches to manufacturers of compact cameras. Nokia should lead the way.

According to Juniper Research, by 2012 there will be more than 24 million LTE connectivity, after two years of slow implementation, but it is clearly the generational change in network technology.

Finally, we can not stop talking about flexible displays, Samsung already has scheduled production of panels for next year. Nokia has also been showing prototypes.
