Some phones are coming with huge 100+ Megapixels sensors, so the next step in the camera department will be very exciting to see. Everything Considered It won’t be wrong to say that smartphones and tablets will be getting much attention during the rest of 2020. That being said, technology will also be developed with the introduction of new top-notch technologies.
