Mobile Technologies
HISTORY OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES
The Motorola DynaTAC 8000x was the first portable phone, although it was large, heavy and very expensive costing thousands of pounds.
Motorola was the first brand to emerge as a leader in early mobile phone technology, Nokia started creating popular phones in the early 90s.
Nokia continued to lead the industry over the next few years with the production of iconic models including the 5110, 3210, and the 3310. Nokia’s dominance began to recede in the early 2000s, with Sony Ericsson, LG, and Samsung increasingly becoming major players in the market.
2006 -Phones started to become truly smart. As GPS-enabled devices they could now check your emails, play music, surf the internet, download content and take photos.
2007- Phones started to be capable of functions close to those of today with the release of the first iPhone. Blackberry with their full keyboard design useful for emails and instant messaging also enjoyed popularity.
Phones are also able to act as contactless payment devices storing bank card details so an individual can be cashless and cardless. More web pages are now visited on mobile devices than via desktops. Screen sizes have increased, as have security features such as biometric unlocking from fingerprints of facial recognition technology. As far as the future goes there are shaped and curved screens, higher-quality cameras, improved battery life and ever more powerful processors.
