NXT - January 2025

En este asunto

The January 2025 Edition of NXT is here—our 9th-anniversary issue at number 101—we just passed the big milestone of 100 issues last month! This issue is mainly about the 2024 NXT Gadget Awards. The progression of consumer technology has transitioned from enhancing the features and capabilities of individual gadgets to emphasising connectivity and the amalgamation of various devices. This shift has led to innovations like the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling seamless communication and data sharing among devices. Consequently, a plethora of novel and enhanced products and services have emerged, reshaping our lifestyles and work environments. The NXT Gadget Awards received a record-breaking number of votes, with 115,496 votes received.

Over in Test, from page 80, we tried the Acer Swift 14 AI, an ultra-slim laptop with AI features and a stunning display, before we got our hands on the Nothing Phone (2a)+, a smartphone with a stylish design, customizable Glyph interface, dual cameras, and powerful mid-range performance. Lastly, in NXT Big Thing, we look at the possibilities of next year’s top gadget.
