[reach_kapil]

Smartphones have revolunized the way we communicate. Wonder what will our kids use. Sure I am not saying wearables or IoT but smartphones in the next 5-7 years. is it possible to reimagine a Smartphone from scratch? Reason I am asking is, I am currently creating ideas to rethink how future smartphones should look like..

I hope that the computing part will migrate to our wrists or other discrete wearable while phones, tablets, monitors and televisions become wirelessly connected screens for it. You can see something like this already in the Asus Padfone, a cellphone with a tablet-as-a-dock:
