What a year 2024 has been. Drake and Kendrick Lamar beefed on the tracks (and Kendrick won by a landslide), Brat Summer took the world by storm, and Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, again.
The world has been through a lot this year, from good, to bad, to downright scary. But the silver lining has been the amazing tech drops we’ve seen this year. From Apple to Samsung, here are the devices that impressed us in 2024.
iPhone 16
The new iPhone 16 dropped in mid-September, featuring new creative capabilities with innovative pro camera features, stunning graphics for immersive gaming, and more – all powered by the A18 Pro chip, which takes the crown as the most powerful ever in an Apple phone.
In terms of design, the phone is constructed from durable and strong, yet lightweight titanium, and the thinnest border on any Apple product. They’ve also made big advancements in battery life, with the iPhone 16 Pro Max now offering the best battery life on an iPhone ever.
The new camera system features a 48MP Fusion camera with a faster quad-pixel sensor that enables 4K210 fps video recording in Dolby Vision, the highest resolution and frame-rate combination ever available on iPhone. It also comes with Camera Control, a fast and intuitive way to tap into visual intelligence and easily interact with the advanced camera system.
The Visual Intelligence feature allows users to snap pictures and the phone will immediately pull up information related to the content on screen. For example, you could snap a picture of a dog to find out the breed, or take an image of a restaurant to pull up the menu, reviews, or opening hours.

Samsung Galaxy S24
The Samsung Galaxy S24 is packed with cutting-edge features, making it stand out among other smartphones in the market. It boasts advanced AI capabilities that enhance the user experience in multiple ways. For instance, you can now search more effectively with smart AI, get real-time language translation during calls, and even convert and summarise voice recordings into text effortlessly. Plus, AI-powered photo editing allows for quick, seamless adjustments to your images, all with minimal effort.
In terms of durability, Samsung has designed this device with Armor Aluminum, a material lighter than stainless steel but still robust enough to protect your phone during everyday adventures. Combined with IP68 water and dust resistance, you don't have to worry about your phone getting damaged during life's messiest moments.
For photography, the Galaxy S24’s 50MP camera ensures you can capture high-resolution images that will stand the test of time. Whether you're zooming in on a distant subject or taking detailed close-ups, the new AI zoom solution allows you to get closer, from 1x to 3x zoom, without losing detail or clarity.
With a smart, all-day battery designed to last longer, the S24 gives you more time to do what you love. Whether you're watching videos, browsing, or gaming, intelligent battery management ensures you stay powered throughout the day.
