[QUOTE="gourav, post: 2380197, member: 30367"] If we knew, would we be sitting here answering this question? On a more serious note, nobody knows. A lot of gadgets don't sell because of very useful features, they sell because of marketing. iPhone was not the first full touchscreen phone. It wasn't even as good as Moto Rokr E6 when it released. But it was the marketing that sold it. People feel they need a camera all the time because they've been made to feel that. But photos have basically lost meaning because of how ubiquitous cameras have become. How often do you go back to look at old photos now? So what feature will be the next big thing will depend on which feature is made to sound like the next big thing by the marketing department of Samsung/Apple. Personally, I'd really like companies to focus on usability rather than features. A slightly smaller phone? A slightly lighter phone? A phone which has really good reception and excellent microphone? A camera which actually allows the person to work on the picture if they wish to rather than outputting run of the mill overly processed garbage. A phone which has an excellent DAC to drive high quality headphones for audio enthusiasts. A battery which is light weight and actually lasts a couple of days under normal load. Standardised wireless charging so that I can have one charging pad for all my phones. Pipe dreams, I know... [/QUOTE]
