Smartphones and wearables open the door to a world of information and services. The latest devices have more power and processing power than many computers, which brings complex connectivity needs. Whether designing and manufacturing wired or wireless solutions, Dragon Well has more than 30 years of experience in creating micro-connectivity for mobile devices, smartphones and wearable technology.
Smartphones have become some of the most advanced personal devices in recent decades. With the advent of low-latency communications enabled by the latest 5G networks, and the growing popularity of wearables, smartphone technology has become an essential tool in our daily lives.
In this competitive market, designers need to continuously develop innovative smartphone solutions to attract customers. This means manufacturers must maintain a rapid cadence of new product releases, with no more than 12 months between each generation.
As smartphones and wearables take on new roles in exciting application areas such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), designers face complex challenges in providing customers with the latest features. Smartphones require more processing power and faster communication speeds, which requires higher performance from chipsets to batteries and everything in between. At the same time, users expect such rich features to be carried in smaller and slimmer form factors.
Designers need to work with companies that can provide products that can drive competitive advantage in the next generation of mobile devices. As more components are packed into smaller spaces, connectors play an important role in protecting signal integrity and minimizing the effects of heat. The rise of new form factors such as foldable smartphones has placed higher demands on flexible connection systems to meet the reliability that customers expect from today’s products.
In addition to mobile phones, wearable devices provide new ways for smart technology to bring new value-driven features such as AR/VR to the market. These features are already being used in the lifestyle and leisure industries, and their potential continues to grow. Dragon Well has 30 years of close experience in the field of micro connectors with the world’s leading mobile device brands. With rich experience and technology, we can support customers to create cutting-edge solutions for this dynamic market.
