Mobile innovation is at its peak in the year 2020; see which trends will drive the market.

The hype for smartphone innovation will be back in 2020. This year holds a lot of exciting mobile phone releases that consumers are looking out for, namely 5G, foldable phones, and improved cameras and AI. In fact, a surge of smartphone sales is expected in 2020. Look out for upcoming smartphones and related mobile accessories from Verified Suppliers on Global Sources that will pack these mentioned features:

1. Monster cameras – Smartphones in 2020 are expected to adopt three to five rear cameras. The setup can include the main camera, ultrawide-angle lens, Time of Flight sensor, plus Cine and Periscope lenses. Phones this year are also getting bumps in megapixels. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S11 will sport a 108-megapixel sensor for the main camera and will allow for 8k video recording, which will be a first in mobile phone history.
2. 5G mobile internet connectivity – 5G is the biggest contributing factor for the renewed consumer interest in smartphones.

Streaming and downloading music and videos will be a breeze, and the buffering delay will soon be a thing of the past.

China has been leading the 5G race, while the US and UK are following suit by building more infrastructures to support 5G network. 5G is about to get bigger in 2020, and Apple finally joins the bandwagon.
