“It seems that none of the smart device manufacturers had much in the way of features or technology to get super excited about in 2016…”
Possible technology that can come out in 2017:

• Longer life batteries.
• Better “live streaming” from phones.
• Wireless charging. We’ve heard that Apple is working hard on getting this accomplished.
• Modular phones. This would be for non-Apple devices. Google was going to do this, but seems to have pulled this out of development. Motorola is currently seeing some success in this department.
