What kind of direction do you think mobile devices are heading towards? How do you see technology in 10 years from now?
10 years from now I see mobile phones becoming portable games consoles. Similar to the Nintendo Switch and The PS Vita. The designs will be far more compact and screens will be suitable sizes. AS usual there will be multiple different models such as ones with game pads installed. Other than that I don't see much change than better hardware and longer battery lives. The progress of mobile phones have already slowed down and companies new models are very similar to the last.
