The next big thing in feature phones: Cloud

Users will benefit from the low cost of phones because they won't need to store apps on their phone and will be able to access apps from a cloud server.

We keep hearing about new smartphones, but it appears Samsung and Motorola are going to surprise us with a new concept — cloud based mobile phones.
These are cheaper phones that will run on software stored in a remote server, or cloud. Usually, the data accessed by smartphones resides on the phone itself, thus raising the cost of the device. Cloud phones, on the other hand, will have no need to carry data with them. Rather, users can just pluck data from the cloud and use it as per their convenience.
There are currently more feature phone users than there are smartphone users. Feature phones have less processing power than smartphones, and if they use cloud technology, they don't need to have costly components at all.
The exciting part is that feature phones will be able to access data same as smartphones do; it's just that the data will not be stored on the phone.
Users will benefit due to the reduced cost of the phone, while handset companies will be able to target more users. Even in the case of applications, people won't have to worry whether the app will run on their phone or not since the apps will then be platform independent.
