Smartphones to be extinct
In modern times, smartphones play an important role for users. In fact, many people can not stay away from their smartphones for even one moment. They are useful for both work and entertainment. However, Nokia CEO, Pekka Lundmark, claims that by 2030, a lot of people will put down their smartphones. He claims “many devices will be implanted directly into our bodies.”
Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark believes that smartphones could become obsolete in the coming decade. Speaking on a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Lundmark said that commercial use of 6G will begin in 2030 and by that time, smartphones “will not be the most common interface.”

When asked about when the world will move away from smartphones and towards smart glasses and other devices, Lundmark said that it will happen before 6G arrives. “By then, definitely the smartphone as we know it today will not anymore be the most common interface. Many of these things will be built directly into our bodies,” said Lundmark,

In the current 5G era, smartphones are still the most important device for accessing 5G networks. Pekka Lundmark believes that the situation will be different after the commercial use of 6G networks. At that time, smartphones will definitely not be the most common devices, and everyone will use devices such as smart glasses. Access to the Internet, and even implanted chips and electronic devices in the human body.
However, Pekka Lundmark did not specify what these electronic products that can make people put down their mobile phones look like. In 2030, the technical requirements of 6G networks will also change a lot. It will require massive computing power, and at the same time, the network speed will be faster. It should be about 100 times or even 1,000 times faster than that of the current network.
