Today's mobile devices are getting bigger and bigger in size which looks like we are getting back 40 years ago when the first cellular phone was invented by Martin Cooper of Motorola.The size of this phone was like a shoes box,so why are cellphone manufacturers making big phones again?Is it because of MIMO technology?Maybe they need a big room to accommodate mimo antennas?I believe this not the case because many cell phones are still using diversity and or MIMO or both.I am just looking for insights on this topic!!Thanks
Hello Sir,
In future Desk top and Lap top machines are not available.Instead Your mobile will do all the work using cloud computing and cyber security technology. So the size is big
Dear Jean Lambert
I agree that recent trend is that mobile phones (or cell phones) have become bigger in size. This is esentially because cell phones are not just being used to make phone calls only. They are being increasingly used for web browsing, social networking, E-commerce, running various entertainment aplications, and so on. And hence there is an obvious need for larger size display screen of this communicating / computing device, while being handy at the same time.

Some in the research field have used the term 'phablet' as the merging of the smartphone and tablet into one 'tool' for all communication and content.
Good luck, Kathy W.
Interestingly enough, future mobile phones and other consumer electronic products may see a shrink in its size in the years to come due the increasing availability of flexible displays. See the related wikipedia article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_display
Growth of flexible OLEDs in near future will hasten the use of flexible displays in such consumer products. See a related site

The use of flexible and folded displays in mobile phones is likely to happen sooner rather than later, and therefore a lot of R&D effort is currently going on in that direction. Nokia and other manufacturers have already made huge advances in that direction.

All these developments may lead to a trend in reduction of sizes of mobile phones.
Let us all look forward to these interesting developments in near future!
Thanks.
