Home Electronics Technology trends 2022: These are the most exciting devices

dateFeb 5, 2022

Three major technology trends and other exciting innovations that consumers should keep an eye for in 2022:


VR and AR: glasses as entry into virtual worlds

Virtual reality (VR) and “augmented reality” (AR), are becoming increasingly sophisticated and important. These devices enable users to immerse themselves in virtual 3D worlds or to project digital content into the real world and thus expand reality.

Future VR glasses display games more realistically, sit more comfortably and bring ever better wireless controllers with your hands. VR glasses are available in Playstation console. Find out the latest VR gadgets at these stores: Emax, Jumbo Electronics, ECity.

AR glasses on the other hand, they are more like normal glasses frames. For example, information about sights that the wearer is currently standing in front of is shown to the wearer before their eyes. Texts or 3D objects can also be displayed and thus visually expand the real world. So far, this has already been done using AR apps on the smartphone screen.


Smart health monitoring on the wrist

With the Smartwatch, record health data on the arm, analyze it in apps on the smartphone and take it with you to the doctor for further examinations, if necessary. Personal health monitoring could soon look like this more and more data-fed, according to the experts.

More smartwatch models than before are to be included in the future EKG and blood pressure measurement. Current models can also estimate the blood oxygen content. Smartwatches could get additional sensors for monitoring health values in 2022. The expected next step would be the blood glucose monitoring smartwatch. For the latest smartwatch with health monitoring capabilities, please check these stores: iStyle, Jumbo Electronics, Emax, ECity.


Folding smartphones are becoming popular for the masses

Smartphones with a screen that can be folded in the middle have only been on the market since 2019. Advantage of this so-called Foldables: Like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 or the Huawei Mate X2, they can be unfolded to the size of a tablet with one grip to watch videos, display several apps and, sometimes with a pen, work productively. Others like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 or the Motorola Razr 5G can be folded down to half the size of a smartphone, so that they fit in any pocket. You may find these foldable smartphones in Samsung and Emax store.


What else technology fans can expect in 2022?

Smarthome: Household appliances, lighting and security at home will continue to network, according to observers. A draft horse here: the new one Radio standard Matter. It ensures that devices from many different manufacturers can communicate with each other.


AI assistant: Alexa, Google Assistant and Co. are becoming smarter, can be adapted even more to the owner and become advisory assistants in everyday life. Amazon’s announced house robot Astro reacts to speech and can move freely around the household.


Sustainability: Technology manufacturers are increasingly advertising longer-lasting products that are easier to repair, such as the Fairphone.
