If you need some insider advice on what’s new in technology and how the latest gadgets can enhance your lifestyle, we’ve got you covered. Read our go-to guide on the tech of 2020 and beyond.
What’s New In Technology?
New year, new tech. Whether it’s a new smartphone, a home security system, or a VR headset, our tastes in tech are unique and personal. This means that when it comes to what’s new in technology, we’re all looking for something different.
Luckily, the tech pool is overflowing, and there’s a huge variety of fresh digital products on the horizon.
Future Tech: What To Expect
2020 holds a lot of hope for technology, from the usual suspects such as the new iPhone (which is expected to be launched in September and is rumored to have FOUR rear cameras) to amazing and wonderful tech trends that we never thought we’d see in this lifetime, like driverless cars.
With gadgets and gizmos aplenty to choose from, we’ve done the hard part of sorting them out for you. Check out our shortlist of the most stand-out 2020 technology trends and new digital products.
EchoBeat Earphones
Are you looking for a more affordable alternative to the Apple AirPods? Well, consider your search over and say hello to EchoBeat!
EchoBeat is the latest tech gadget in the wireless earphone market, and it looks like they’ll be giving Apple a run for their money this year. With its high-quality sound, you’ll immediately notice the crystal-clear audio. And with built-in Bluetooth, you can go on the move without any hassle. At just $99, the clever minds behind this growing tech start-up are set to take off in a big way—so be sure to snap them up before they get too popular! This is also a great tech gift idea for the gadget-obsessed people in your life.
Extended Reality
If you thought your VR headset was advanced, you wouldn’t want to miss out on the latest update—extended reality (or XR).
XR covers virtual, augmented and mixed reality technologies. It’s a big step up in the world of immersive experiences. We’ve already got simulated roller coasters with VR headsets, dog filters with Snapchat, and on-the-go computer monitors with AR glasses in the classroom. But XR is a perfect mixture of all three, which means we can expect huge strides in video games, medicine, movies, and retail. As businesses get to grips with all the exciting possibilities of this future tech, we’ll be waiting patiently to see what’s in the pipeline.
Personalized Medicine
2020 tech is predicted to transform the healthcare industry. With the ability to get data from devices such as smartwatches and fitness trackers, along with advancements in 3D printing, we’ll be able to predict and treat several health problems before we even experience any symptoms.
This also paves the way for more personalized healthcare, giving doctors more opportunities to prescribe medicine and treatments to specific patients. By the end of 2020, you might be able to get diagnosed and treated without waiting around in a doctor’s lounge!
5G Networks
It seems like only yesterday when we were being introduced to 4G. Now, the 5th generation of mobile internet connectivity has started to make an appearance, promising ultra-fast download and upload speeds, more stable and secure connections, and enhanced data coverage. It’s predicted that 2020 will see 5G soar in popularity, with more accessible data plans for smartphone users. If all goes well, we’ll never have to complain about slow internet speeds again!
Nixplay Smart Photo Frames
At the end of the day, the latest tech gadgets don’t need to be complicated—just smart. And adding smart home products to your house goes far beyond installing automated door locks and voice-controlled lighting. Inject an element of fun as you welcome the new decade by introducing a new digital photo frame that the entire family can enjoy.
The Nixplay Smart Frame works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home Assistant and it can be placed in any room of your home. Make your memories count by watching them in crisp, clear detail on Nixplay’s HD displays, which are equipped with integrated motion sensors, social media connectivity, and video playback.
This is the next-generation smart frame that will stay with your family for generations to come.
8K TV Technology
What exactly is an 8K TV? It’s a television that offers the clearest, most crisp picture you’re ever likely to see, like real life in unparalleled clarity.
With four times more pixels than the standard 4K images we’re currently used to, it’s a picture-perfect way to play video games, screen movies, and watch your favorite TV shows. In fact, as the average adult already spends 238 minutes per day watching TV, why not do it with the latest in tech?
Autonomous Driving
You might not see a lot of driverless cars roaming around just yet, but autonomous driving is starting to see a lot of traction, with tech firms such as Tesla and Sony investing in this arena. In 2019, a sister company of Google completed a trial run of autonomous taxi services, which transported more than 6,200 people to different destinations around California. So it seems as though this future tech might become a reality sooner than we think!
If you’re feeling a little anxious about letting your car cruise around the roads by itself, just look at the bright side—at least you wouldn’t have to endure awkward small talk with taxi drivers anymore!
New Digital Products
With so much future tech set to be revealed in 2020, we can expect big changes in the way we go about our day-to-day lives. Whether you’re excited about what’s new in technology because you’re a bit of a techie at heart, or you’re eagerly awaiting the latest smart home products to control your house from your phone, there’s no slowing technology down.
