What to expect from 2016's phones
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Fujitsu Laptop Battery
The year has seen some excellent smartphones being released, ranging from the Galaxy S6 and Huawei P8 to the iPhone 6s and LG G4.
But what can we expect from next year's devices then? We gazed into our crystal ball to bring you a few predictions.
Apple, Samsung, Huawei and Sony have all brought fingerprint scanners to their high-end phones, making for some cool functions.
But we're expecting cheaper handsets to pack this tech, especially as Android Marshmallow and Windows 10 Mobile bring better support to their platforms.
In fact, this is happening already, as scores of cheaper phones in Asia have packed scanners into their devices with battery such as Fujitsu LifeBook MH380 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP198 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP262 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook PH520 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP155 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook T4210 Battery, Fujitsu BTP-DLZ9 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP268 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP59 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook E2010 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP177 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP179 Battery. Companies like Coolpad, UMI, Elephone and Oukitel are all releasing fingerprint-enabled phones at a bargain price.
Expect current fingerprint tech to take a leap forward as well, thanks to efforts from Qualcomm. The chipmaker has announced Sense ID, being technology that uses ultrasonic waves to read your fingerprint.
We've seen a few smartphones revealed that use iris-scanning already, such as Microsoft's Lumia 950/950XL and devices from ZTE and Fujitsu.
But we expect a few more manufacturers to get in on the action as well, introducing iris-scanning for mobile payments and device authentication.
Iris-scanning is apparently more secure than fingerprint scanning, while some iris scanners are equipped with infrared LEDs to enable low-light unlocking. Neat.
In fact, rumours claim that LG is working on implementing iris-unlocking in its G5 smartphone. But they remain rumours for now. Still, we wouldn't be surprised if LG, Samsung, HTC or another big-name company has this feature.

Sony was the first company to pack a 4K display into its smartphone with the launch of the Z5 Premium. But we doubt it'll be the last time we see 4K screens.
We expect at least one or two more companies to launch ultra HD screens on their phones as well, allowing you to view 4K video at a native resolution. But some manufacturers might opt for a different approach to their screen tech...
