As the year ends, it’s a good time to reflect on the top stories from the past 12 months. This is the fourth and final installment in which we look at the stories that shaped this year.
It’s time to close the 2020 edition of our top stories. We are looking at the months of October to December and for the first time, this is the time when Apple introduced their phones.
After many reports and leaks, the iPhone 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 12 mini, and iPhone 12 were unveiled on October 13. However, only the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro and 12 went on sale the week after the event. . The iPhone 12 Pro Max and 12 mini were released a month later, culminating a launch schedule that was hampered by the ongoing pandemic that defined 2020.
Qualcomm announced its next flagship chipset: the Snapdragon 888 and a few days before the year was out, Xiaomi became the first to formally announce a smartphone with Snapdragon 888 on the Mi 11. The Mi 11 has a large AMOLED screen. 6.81-inch with 120Hz update. and the highest touch sampling rate up to 480Hz, up to 12GB of RAM, a 108MP main camera and a 4,600mAh battery with 55W wired and 50W wireless charging. It will go on sale on January 1.
Samsung’s next big event will see the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 + and Galaxy S21 Ultra go official on January 14 and the fourth quarter was filled with stories related to S21. Thanks to the abundance of information about the upcoming Samsung flagships, we know almost everything there is to know.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra will be far above its peers with a larger 6.8-inch display with a 120Hz adaptive QHD + display, a larger 5,000mAh battery, and a second-gen 108MP sensor to match the two telephoto cameras. : 10MP 3x and 10MP Periscope 10x. It will also support the famous S Pen from the Note line.
The Galaxy S21 and S21 + will continue to have HRR displays but without variable adjustment, so they will operate at a constant frequency of 120 Hz (or 60 Hz). The camera system will be mostly identical to the S20 (12MP main, 64MP 3x tele, and 12MP ultrawide), but the ultrawide unit will have autofocus. Slightly larger batteries and a Snapdragon 888 or Exynos 2100 are also among the known updates.
The OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro will also arrive in early 2021. The Snapdragon 888 pair will feature a new design with a larger rear camera island. Early versions suggest that the OnePus 9 Pro will have two prominent and two smaller camera lenses, but sadly it won’t have a periscope zoom.
Finally, Apple introduced its ARM-based M1 chip in Q4 and released the M1-equipped MacBook Pro 13, MacBook Air, and Mac mini. The M1 chip proved very promising early on, striking a great balance between performance and battery life. Thanks to the M1 chip, the three machines Apple released were able to seriously outperform their Intel-powered predecessors, making us very interested in Apple’s line of computers for 2021.
