2024: The year tech got smarter, faster, and more personal

This year has been a whirlwind for technology. Gadgets got better, workspaces became smarter, and AI snuck into every corner of our lives. From supercharged processors to cameras that rival professional gear, 2024 was all about breakthroughs. Let’s break down how these advancements are reshaping our tech world.

▾ Smarter Chips: The Brains Behind the Magic

Every device you love runs on a chip, and in 2024, those chips leveled up big time.

• Next-Gen Processors Took Over Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 powered phones like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, making gaming and AI feel seamless. MediaTek’s Dimensity 9200 gave it stiff competition, focusing on energy efficiency without cutting corners. Both chips leaned hard into AI, unlocking features like real-time language translation and incredible photo enhancements.

• Apple’s A17 Pro Stole the Show Apple pushed the limits with its A17 Pro, built on a super-advanced 3nm process. The result? The iPhone 16 series handled demanding tasks like a breeze—gaming, multitasking, and battery life hit new highs.

• Why AI Matters for Chips Forget sending tasks to the cloud. These processors now handle AI tasks—like voice commands and camera effects— right on your phone. That means faster performance, more privacy, and less battery drain.

▾ Graphics That Look Realer Than Life

This year, your phone’s visuals hit console level quality. Gaming, editing, and even casual scrolling look and feel better.

• Ray Tracing for Hyper-Realistic Games Fancy terms aside, this means games now show stunning light and shadow effects. Qualcomm’s Adreno 750 and MediaTek’s Immortalis-X GPU brought these visuals straight to your pocket.
