The smartphone Era is 26 years old and going strong!
----------------------------------------------------

Looking into the years I've gone through with each smartphone, from first as an Android fanatic then jumped with Apple's iPhone then now back to Android again.

**Google Pixel 8 Pro**, Don't get me wrong. I like the phone and I think it worked amazingly well, while I had to replace my phone due to the last iPhones aging battery, The battery on Google pixel 8 Pro has lived up for as long as I've had it since October 2023. After 7 months of owning this phone. It's held my interest for this long and I've liked the features that come with it. The important part about phones is I want the phones to last for what it's worth!.

### Current Age of Smartphones.

Well smartphones have been both a gif and a curse and depend on how anyone uses it. And no denying that having a phone with you does have benefits including its negatives in the Modern Age. Now the inclusion with all of this is well. The smartphone age will continue to last with different Innovations coming out, especially with Apple Vision Pro or Smart glasses, the many questions that come to mind is will anyone will still carry a physical mobile phone or will things be devicelessness... Or brain chipped embedded?

### Will the Future continue to still shine on upcoming new phones?

Personally, I would say yes, despite the price hikes and inflation bringing in new consumers to the age of smartphones, there will be a point that it will still continue to reach a new and massive consumer base for smartphones.  When new innovative technologies come out of the woodwork, We will never know!  Desite a blocky-phone or a flippable Smart-Phone from your favorite phone carrier time will only tell if we'll have the new smartphone that'll reach new innovation,  the future is very unsorten if we'll see a new brake-through or a dip,  One of the good thing with current Smartphone era is over time things have improve overtime. years when I first used HTC G1 since the very beginning when I first had it. Nowadays,  Smartphones isn't really all that special when it first came up, now you see everyone using a smartphone from children to grandparents  today,  It not just for Nerds and Geeks,  it has made eveyone's lifes easy.  Somethings wouldn't impress me if we see headsets or a Next Gen Hardware overtaking smartphones in the next few years. Thanks for reading! -Leon LaGrey
