Invisible Fingerprint Scanner
Qualcomm and Synaptics are working on fingerprint scanning technology that works through glass, aluminium and displays, including LCD and OLED.
Battery Tech
By using graphene — a form of carbon — instead of the common lithium, batteries could hold 45% more charge in the same size and go from 0% to 100% charge in 10 to 12 minutes.
Four Cameras Are Better Than Two
Four cameras in a phone (two each in the front and rear) can overcome the limitations of mobile phones compared with cameras.
Taller Displays
18:9 displays are here to stay and it should become the standard for Android phones across all budgets

Huawei has already showcased its own version of the advanced tech while others like OnePlus showed off its camera-based face unlock that's even faster than what the iPhone X offers.
