Top 7 Consumer Trends In Tech 2020: Top Tech Trends 2020, Emerging Technology Trends
January 10, 2020
- More Camera Sensors: Quad & Penta Camera Systems -- While quad camera setups are already in the mainstream market, 2020 will see a plethora of smartphones with at least four to five cameras. At the end of 2019, smartphones launched with penta camera setups (as Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro), and there’s more coming. Not only premium or high-end smartphones, even budget devices from Realme, Redmi and maybe Samsung will be using rear penta camera technologies for their affordable line of devices
- Affordable 5G Phones -- With mid-range SoCs as Snapdragon 765 and Snapdragon, several affordable 5G smartphones will launch in 2020. Redmi K30 has already been unveiled with Snapdragon 765, and Realme will launch X50 with the same chip on January 7, embarking the 5G journey for 2020. Up next we have Motorola, Nokia, OPPO, vivo and Asus.
- Online Game Streaming -- Console-based gaming will gradually shift to online game stream play. The trend has already been growing, and with more companies joining the bandwagon, we will have more platforms competing against each other resulting in higher number of users. Google Stadia, Microsoft xCloud and now Amazon Online Game Streaming, there will be a lot more of online game streaming in 2020.
- Foldable Smartphones – Royole Flex Pai, Huawei Mate, Samsung Galaxy Fold were delivered in 2019. The Motorola Razr provides a new form factor. Foldable display volume will remain limited, but it will be one of the top tech trends in 2020.
- Improved Zooming Technology -- Some smartphones with high-end optical zoom technology are available using a periscope designed hardware. There will be multiple smartphones in 2020 which will feature a higher optical zoom technology, and not only premium devices, even mid-range smartphones as well.
- Mid-Range Smartphones Will Rule -- The mid-range smartphone market will grow at a higher pace in 2020. With companies as Realme, Xiaomi and Samsung diversifying their product lines, the Rs $350 to $450 category will see a boom. Smartphone OEMs are focusing on midrange and entry-premium smartphones which fall between Rs $250 and $300, and this will their prime motto in 2020. The ultra-competitive Rs $100 to $150 will also grow, but the mid-range and entry premium market will experience a major boom in 2020.
- Wearables -- There’s a solid chance the next major CE purchase will be a wearable before 2021. There’s an even greater chance it will be a “hearable.” Yes, a new crazy term for, well, headphones. But these advanced wireless earbuds have built-in sensors and voice-assistant capabilities: They’re becoming more like their own hardware platforms, letting people do everything from hearing your messages read aloud to ordering a car. By the end of 2020, more than one-third of the U.S. population will use a hearable, according to a recent eMarketer report. Apple AirPods have been the most popular of the new category but challengers are coming for the white plastic ear sticks. Microsoft’s Surface Earbuds are due out in the spring—delayed from their late 2019 launch. Around the same time, Google will start selling its next Pixel Buds, which promise hands-free access to the Google Assistant, live language translation and longer-range Bluetooth. It’s just one of the wearable tech moves we expect from Google in the new year. It’s unsurprising given the rise of the Apple Watch. Speaking of, we’d bet good money on Apple’s wrist computer getting even more health features this year.
