T he year 2017 was great as many smartphones were launched with some new interesting ideas, thoughts and innovations.

For the first time ever, Face ID was introduced and ZTE brought Dual Screen which provides four different screen modes. 18:9 Display Ratio Historically most smartphones featured the display with a 16:9 aspect ratio which provided some experience of small screen theatres.

The writing process, called  flux  reversal, causes
