From cutting-edge devices that redefine possibilities to revolutionary technologies poised to reshape our interactions with the world, the year ahead holds immense promise.
Let’s have a rundown of 2024 trends in the world of technology—exciting innovations that will change the way we live, work, and play:
AI and machine learning
In recent years, the rapid growth of AI tools, exemplified by Google and Microsoft’s development of features like Compose and Copilot, has extended to mobile platforms. Microsoft’s Copilot is now accessible on iOS and Android, broadening the reach of AI assistants. Hardware manufacturers are also integrating AI-powered tools into products such as laptops and smartphones. Anticipate a surge in companies launching their AI-powered software and hardware in 2024.
Larger foldables
Following generations of foldable smartphones, companies like HONOR unveiled the Magic V2, pushing the boundaries of large, foldable displays. 2024 promises to be a year of exciting tech advancements, with foldable tablets leading the charge.
Get ready for a future where your tablet transforms into a mini-theater, your e-reader becomes an immersive book, and your smartphone unfolds into a powerful productivity tool.
Extended Reality (XR)
XR is poised for a breakout year! While fancy headsets held it back, AI and new devices are making it more affordable and exciting. Imagine learning history with dinosaurs in your living room or attending concerts front-row from your couch! Get ready for a year where reality gets a techy twist.
Connected cars
Many car manufacturers have started to include high-tech features in their automobiles. These include Lane Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control that make driving easier and many models now feature fully digital dashboards supported by Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There’s also the rapidly growing Electric Vehicle (EV) market. 2024 will likely see even more cars—from high-end models to affordable options—be more digitized and connected.
Portable gaming
Valve’s Steam Deck, launched almost two years ago, has become a massive success, inspiring other manufacturers like ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go to enter the portable PC gaming market. Anticipate a surge in 2024, with more manufacturers exploring this space, presenting either more affordable or feature-rich options in portable gaming consoles and evolving existing devices.
