Last year’s mobile phone, with some improvements. This is how I’ve felt about most high-end products for most of the last two years. Developments that show this is possible, such as the big jump from the Galaxy S22 Ultra to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, the new Xiaomi 13 Ultra and its camera, or folding devices like the OnePlus Open, have shown me the opposite. Improving everything that is already on the market.

Although it seems that way from year to year peak smartphone and I think the valley of improvements is about to come, I have hopes for 2024. The best panels are yet to come, we’ve already surpassed processors like the Apple M1 in GPUs for smartphones, and Sony has a trump card that will revolutionize cameras in 2024. future generations.

Battle of the panels. As I explained yesterday, one of the most popular battles is the battle of the nits. Manufacturers strive to get the brightest screens; Manufacturers such as Xiaomi promise up to 3,000 nits in terminals such as the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro.

These types of next-generation panels are a valuable addition to our phones. Offerings like the Google Pixel 8 Pro are a before and after compared to the previous generation. Once you’ve tried a panel with this brightness level (viewing in the sun is completely different on phones with +2,000 true nits), it’s hard to go back to what it was before.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be the pioneer. In terms of overall performance, Qualcomm managed to take the lead this year. According to early benchmarks, it has surpassed the Apple A17 Pro and its GPU is even superior to desktop processors such as the Apple M1.

Having a GPU of this level opens the doors to a graphical level never seen before in mobile games. This is excellent news for players in this format as hosts. Of course, this is also good news considering the life cycle that phones with this processor will have.

Sony Lytia. This name may not be familiar to you, but it is one of the most important technological changes of recent years. The famous Sony “IMX” camera sensors now have a successor. It’s a new type of sensor inherited from professional cameras and packed with technology that was first introduced at OnePlus Open. Conclusion? One of the phones with the best camera on the market.

big batteries. According to increasingly accurate rumors, terminals like the OnePlus 12 will come with a 5,400mAh battery. We haven’t been able to exceed the 5,000 mAh limit for years; This figure may start to increase starting from next year.

Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly important hero. It’s just taking its first steps, but manufacturers are starting to invest everything in artificial intelligence. The best example of this is Google, making the Pixel 8 Pro almost half hardware and half AI-powered software.

Motorola is currently working on Moto AI, an artificial intelligence based on existing generative language models that will process data natively. Rumors are also strong that Apple is working on its own language models to take Siri to the next level.

Definitely, healing area is still alive without forgetting that in high-end technology, a significant part of these advances were inherited by lower-end mobile phones as generations progressed.
