The future of the smartphone will be creativity. Thanks to the technology of Sharp’s Free Form, you will conceive smartphone made from only the display: all the circuits needed are located inside the panel itself, then you don’t need frames.
The last concrete example of this technology was shown by the japanese company at CEATEC in Tokyo, a technological event. The smartphone 5.2 inch, called the Corner R, maintains the shape and size familiar, but the front part is characterized only by the Full HD screen. The result is surely fascinating, as you can see from this short movie, recorded by one of those present at the fair:

This technology poses, however, some obstacle in the design of a smartphone or a tablet: where to integrate the front-facing camera, for example? this technology Is in the testing phase, although Sharp has marketed in limited quantities on a smartphone, Aquos Crystal, in the United States.
The technology Free Form of Sharp, however, is not meant to be used only with these devices, although those are more feasible. For some time, and unofficially, has been associated with the design of the Nintendo NX, the console that promises to be hybrid, i.e. combining a portable unit in a "box," in fixed and homemade: the idea is that the analog sticks and physical buttons may be integrated into the screen; the panel would be designed and cropped to fill the rest of the unit.
A charming idea, but we don’t know how feasible. In the specific case, moreover, the use of this technology could raise the price of the console and Nintendo has always been very attentive to the price of its hardware products to avoid incattivirsi consumers.
SCREEN FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 IPHONE AND 8?
a smartphone with a body made almost exclusively from the screen, however, is a project that, from more parts, is joined also to two important smartphone of 2017: Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8. Is Samsung that Apple, in fact, would work up to the idea of a new product, starting with a futuristic design.

Surely Apple will propose something new after three years of recycling the same design for the iPhone 6, 6s and 7, although you can discuss on the feasibility of such a leap in technology (more likely the use of an OLED screen).
we do Not know, however, how Samsung can marry a new technology, especially now that he has finally honed its AMOLED technology curve, as seen in the Galaxy Note 7, that was appreciated for its design, less for his "fiery" attitude.
In one way or another, the smartphone market should return to arouse interest in the consumers. From the hardware point of view, it has reached a level such that devices cheap (not more than 250 euro) offer you a power that few years ago seemed to have exclusive top of the range. For this, you need the flag bearer will turn to be a technological reference relevant technology and Sharp could be a starting point.
