Huawei thinks “superphones” will replace smartphones by 2020

Smartphones as we know them will be replaced by “superphones” within the next five years. At least, that’s what Huawei believes, and it’s basing this prediction on the fact that it took twelve years for regular handsets to evolve from the first commercial mobile phone that Motorola released back in 1995, to the first smartphone that Apple released in 2007. Assuming the next major upgrade to mobile phones will follow the same pattern, we should expect superphones to arrive sometime in 2019 or 2020. Not the soundest logic, but an interesting prediction nonetheless.
