In recent days we have rewarded our favorite products of 2022 and took stock of the situation on what has happened in the last twelve months. Having archived the past, the time has come to look ahead and try together to understand what 2023 will bring us.
The upcoming year, which will open as usual with CES, is marked even before starting by numerous question marks involving not only the world of technology, but broader and evolving scenarios that will certainly also have an impact on the dynamics of development and production of consumer electronics. With these uncertainties in mind (and without the will to be definitive) we have tried to make some predictions: let us know yours in the comments.
SMARTPHONES, TV AND NOT ONLY
Already in 2022 we have seen numerous price increases for the most popular technological products, including smartphones. 2023 could further show the side of this kind of situation: in the case of the iPhone 15 Ultra (the device that should take the place of the Pro Max) the rumors speak, for example, of a record increase in prices, at least in the United States. And Apple products may not be the only ones.
The new year could also be an opportunity for various brands, especially Chinese ones, to bring their own to our area foldable: over the months we have talked a lot about the upcoming models of companies such as Oppo and Vivo, which could finally decide that our market is also ready to receive the new folding devices in development or already launched in China, making among other things the more varied and probably competitive offer.
Those looking for a very advantageous price-quality ratio, however, will be looking with great curiosity at the Google Pixel 7a: the previous model was one of, if not the best-value Android phone of 2022 and the next iteration of the “small” from Google may not make a difference.
After the arrival of Samsung’s QD-OLEDs in 2022, next year will see the consolidation of the Korean company’s offer with new models, in particular those with higher inches such as the 77”. A trend that will probably already be present at CES is that of ultra-short-throw projectors, Laser TVs, with HiSense which, for example, will put the first 8K on the market. All this, with the uncertainty and curiosity of understanding what will happen to 8K and Mini-LEDs with the new energy efficiency index of the European Union.
In general, it will increasingly be the year of OLEDs: the world of laptops and monitors is embracing them progressively, with ever more varied prices, formats and solutions. Maybe not within everyone’s reach, for now, but the trajectory clearly goes in the direction of a widespread diffusion that will make them a standard on all our devices.
However, it will not be the year of Windows on ARM: Qualcomm is working on the new platform whose presentation will probably take place towards the end of 2023, so we have to wait a little longer before understanding what performance it will be able to guarantee and how much it will be able to represent a viable option on the market.
On the other hand, there are great expectations for Matter 1.0, a standard we have talked about a lot over the past months which is gradually being embraced and implemented by more companies, for more and more products. It represents an important turning point in making it easier to build a smart and connected home: it will be the focus of numerous news and discussions.
Finally, in our opinion, 2023 will not yet be the year of the metaverse: it was buzzword of the past twelve months but little concrete has been seen and there don’t seem to be any breakthroughs on the horizon, so it’s probable that, marketing and good intentions aside, we’ll still be here talking about it with more question marks than certainties also next December.
