These April 2019 mobile innovations range from influencer marketplace apps to family-friendly tech shops. While Galaxy's Harajuku store is designed to spotlight the brand's latest devices alongside a cafe for parents and lounge space for kids, mobile platform Basic Space shares a selection of influencer-curated goods that can be purchased directly by consumers.
Another standout, the HUAWEI P30 smartphone, recently debuted at a Paris launch event and aims to revolutionize smartphone photography. The device boasts AI-supported image stabilization features along with a patented SuperSpectrum Sensor and a sophisticated SuperZoom lens.
Virtual decor marketplaces, supermarket visual search tools and swipeable charity apps round off this list and speak to consumers' growing desire for shopping platforms and tools that are easily accessible via their mobile device while making everyday tasks easier and more seamless.
