The 2017 phone trends.
Of course, the most visual trend for 2017 was the stigmatization of the bezel. The space freed up by the 'chin' and the 'forehead' allows for a taller display and hence the move to displays with taller aspect ratios including 18:9 and 19.5:9. As a result, the average height increased by 3.65mm to 151.36mm with a slight increase in width up .88mm to 73.88mm.
In 2017 the average display was 5.57" up from 5.28" in 2016 with a jump in pixel density to 394.90 ppi.
Another area of intense debate is the removal of the humble 3.5mm audio jack and its decline is continuing with a 12% increase in the number of phones now without a headphone jack. On a more positive note, we saw a 4% increase in the number of phones now with Stereo speakers for those of you who want better sound quality from your phone.
The number of phones with Dual Lens primary cameras saw a significant increase this year with 34% of phones now using them even though they may have different implementations.
