Top 80 Mobile Trends in October

From Five-Camera Smartphones to Anti-Distraction 4G Cellphones

— October 27, 2018 — Tech
The October 2018 mobile trends present a steady mix of innovative smartphones, charging devices, and helpful mobile applications.

As privacy is becoming a major issue in today's connected culture, CPR Call Blocker CS900 Flip Phone offers a way to protect owners from pesky telemarketers and private numbers. The device has the ability to block up to 900 numbers and is ideal for individuals who are looking to be a bit more private.

Of course, the digital age is also referred to as the age of distraction. As attention spans are reportedly suffering due to an entertainment-filled social environment, the Punkt MP02 actively discourages constant connectivity. Operating on a 4G network, the device is intentionally simple and meant exclusively for texting and calling.
