Most anticipated tech of 2020, from the iPhone 12 to PlayStation 5

Early reports suggest that the new iPhone will come with an all-new design, removal of the notch, an ultrasonic TouchID sensor, and 5G connectivity. There’s also the possibility of a fourth lens on the high-end model, most likely a time-of-flight sensor for improved augmented reality experiences. By the time, new iPhone gets launched, 5G coverage should be available in many more parts of the world, maybe driving more people to upgrade. (Image: Ben Geskin)

Microsoft’s Surface Neo and Surface Duo will not hit retail shelves before the end of the year, but they have already made us excited. For Microsoft, the devices represent a new era for a company that lost the smartphone war to Apple and others. Both the Neo and Duo are aimed at creating a new product category altogether. While the Duo runs Android, it isn’t exactly a smartphone and the Neo is a cross between a laptop and tablet.

The original Galaxy Fold created quite a buzz and Samsung seems committed to create the next-generation Galaxy Fold already. Many believe that the new foldable device from Samsung will be out as early as next month. Based on leaked renders and images, it appears the Galaxy Fold 2 will be a clamshell-style foldable phone like the Moto Razr and there will be a punch-hole notch, similar to the Galaxy Note 10.

2020 is going to be the breakthrough year for the gaming industry – after all, both Sony and Microsoft are set to release new consoles this year. Sony has already announced that its next console will be called the PS5, while Microsoft will launch the Xbox Series X. The consoles from both the companies will hit retail shelves in time for Christmas.

The PS5 and Xbox Series X will have high-end specs, and nearly identical promises including the ability to play games up to 120 frames per second at 4K resolution, and an even higher 8K resolution. The consoles will also include faster SSDs and hardware-accelerated real-time “ray tracing.” The launch of PS5 and Xbox Series X will give Sony and Microsoft an opportunity to inject new interest in the console market, as both face threat from the mobile gaming market.

The Galaxy S11+ flagship is rumoured to sport a 108MP sensor with 5x optical zoom and 9 in 1 pixel binning. Although there haven’t been any reports on what goes inside the device, the Galaxy S11+ will most likely have a Snapdragon 865 chipset in the US market and an Exynos 990 chipset in the European market, both with an integrated 5G modem.

More than the OnePlus 8 series, we are excited about the brand’s first concept smartphone ever, which will be shown off at a special event at CES 2020 in Las Vegas on January 7 and will last until January 10. We have no idea whether OnePlus will show a foldable phone or a futuristic smartphone similar to Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha.
