We draft the technologies that will be in vogue in the new year 2022:
5G
A revolutionary technology that has been coming to India for the last two years or more, but still not sure when it will be a reality here, but smartphone makers are not bothered about the timeline, rather they are actively engaged in 2021. 5G-enabled handsets are launching. Chipset makers market their processors based on 5G and OEMs incorporate it into their smartphones.
