According to foreign media reports, in the past year or so, smartphone innovation has slowed significantly – both in hardware and in software.

Market research company IDC released a report on the development forecast of the smart phone industry in the next five years. "The industry generally believes that smartphone innovation is slowing down and reaching the plateau. Many new innovations in 2013 are small and small. There is still doubt as to whether they have long-term value."

With the slowdown in smartphone innovation, the new direction of the industry is to make smartphones the center of connecting emerging electronic products. Emerging electronics include smart watches, other wearables, and home appliances, cars, and other products that are considered to be the so-called Internet of Things.

Although the slowdown in smartphone innovation has become a consensus, smartphone manufacturers are still sparing no effort to promote new features of the product. For example, Samsung made a big splash for the Galaxy S5 at the Mobile World Congress. The HTC One M8, which went on sale on Tuesday, has become the protagonist of many online videos and rumors. The HTC One M8 features a 5-inch full HD display, two rear-facing cameras, a Snapdragon 801 processor, and 3GB of running memory. Some analysts question whether these improvements to the HTC One M8 can have a big impact on the market.

IDC said that the positioning of smartphones should be "the center of other equipment innovation, not the end product." Smartphones will act as remote controls for appliances, products and services.

IDC analyst Ramon Llamas said in an interview on Monday that the slowdown in innovation affects all smartphone operating systems. "The iPhone 5S is equipped with a 64-bit processor running iOS 7. Everyone likes the new engine." But are these new features comparable to the earlier FaceTIme or Siri? My answer to this question is no."

Carolina Milanesi, an analyst at market research firm Kantar WorldPanel, believes that smartphone innovation has slowed in the past year, "more is a small fight rather than a disruptive innovation."

Patrick Moorhead, an analyst at market research firm Moor Insight & Strategy, said there are opportunities for smartphone innovation, including voice control software or the transfer of smartphone content to large-size displays, "Google, Apple or Microsoft. None of the promises related to voice control have been fulfilled. Siri and Google Voice are constantly improving, but not stable enough to allow many consumers to complete multiple requests. Transfer the content on the phone to a large display such as a high-definition TV or PC. It is still quite difficult and not stable enough."

The state of smartphone innovation in early 2014 was very similar to the early stages of desktops and many other electronics. Jack Gold, an analyst at market research firm J. Gold Associates, said, "As with any other fast-growing market, it's getting harder and harder to make innovations that others can't or can't replicate quickly. Not only HTC. So, Apple, Samsung and other companies are also the same."

This cycle of innovation is called the innovation curve by Gold. "If you fall into the innovation curve, you need to find a way out. But if you don't abandon the entire ecosystem, you can even make customers unhappy to a certain extent. This is not an easy task."

Gold also pointed out that the industry's shift to the Internet of Things and wearables "to a certain extent" will help break the innovation curve. "These markets are not yet mature, there have been many attempts, and wearables are still in the early stages of the innovation curve."

Which vendors can stand out in emerging areas? Golder said, "It can only be the big manufacturers of sustainable development. They can bear the risk of product failure, at least not very successful. They will always insist on achieving a certain degree of success. Because of the need for rapid success, startups can’t do it. at this point."
