2020 has had its ups and downs but not all things have been bad. One thing to look forward to is new technology out this year. Here is some of the best technology of 2020.

• PlayStation 5 – Ever since PlayStation 5 launched, everyone’s wanted their hands on it. First launched 12th November in the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea, and launched again on the 19th November in the UK and the rest of the world. Sony have outdone themselves with the next-gen consoles. With an appealing exterior, well thought out user interface, to a ground-breaking console and added bonuses for PS Plus members, it’s hard not to be impressed with the results.  

• Samsung Galaxy S20 – Samsung Galaxy S20 is the phone to buy if you are looking for a new tech to try from Samsung. A cheaper alternative than the S20 plus or S20 FE smartphone, that does not mean it is a cheap or low-tech phone. With a 6.2-inch screen, a fast 120Hz refresh rate, 5G download speed, a big battery to boot, plenty of space for offer and a high-tech camera on both sides, Samsung Galaxy S20 could be the best phone ever made.   

• Samsung’s The Frame (TV) – Samsung fans and tech lovers are losing their mind with this ingenious The Wall TV, featuring a gorgeous end to end display with no bezel. The first ever TV of its kind. Samsung has taken TV to the next level. Samsung’s The Frame is a quantum-dot styled LCD that appears like a picture on the wall. When you are not watching anything, it displays it convincing role as a well-hung picture frame. Let’s not forget the custom colored bezels and a gallery of 1,400 available work of art – 20 included when purchased to better resemble a picture the TV is built with a rectangle replaceable bezel that slightly just out and a completely flat back, with a shallow profile wall mount attached to fit flush against the wall.

• Sony’s Vision S – Sony announcement of the Vision S concept car surprised us all – every tech lover’s dream come true. A car of the future, an all-electric sedan with similarities to the Tesla, this car features an array of special sensors that make the car one of the safest to drive. It was unveiled at the 2020 Consumer Electric Show on 7 Jan. The vision was created as a way of showcasing the advanced electronic technology to contribute to safer driving.
