Smartphones in the next decade

Here is my prediction, whether r/android likes it or not - portless and buttonless phones are the future. I knew this the moment Apple removed the headphone jack and recent news just made it clearer. Jack is gone and we already saw a phone without buttons. Charging port is next. What is also an old technology that takes space? Sim cards. eSims are getting more widespread and in the coming years the sim tray will be gone. As for connecting your phone with a wire to your PC I think it will still be possible. Either by connector pins or some new near field protocol.

Under display camera is a clear solution moving forward.

Faster WiFi and adoption of it will bring two major things - wireless desktop experience and wireless console-like gaming through your phone. OS will have to undergo a major overhaul to make desktop experience universal, not just OEM exclusive and also make AAA game developers come to Android and treat it like a viable platform. Nintendo's success with the Switch has shown that console portable gaming is in high demand. If game streaming services are ever done right, phones are a perfect platform for it, all you will need to buy is a controller.

What are your predictions for the next 10 years of smartphones?

He bought two matching batteries from different sellers. The problem is, even though they were unopened/sealed packages of original batteries, they were not holding much charge. (I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
