Nintendo Switch 2: What We Know

With a flood of rumors pointing to its impending arrival, the Nintendo Switch 2 is causing waves of excitement. This sequel, expected to hit stores in the latter half of 2024, promises to uphold the Switch legacy while elevating the gaming experience.

Rumors vividly show improved features, such as increased storage capacity for more immersive gaming experiences. The anticipation of a new 3D Mario and an expansive Mario Kart game sets the tone for exciting gameplay. 

Conversations about the hardware powering this console range from potential Nvidia chipsets to rumored AMD involvement, leaving fans in the dark.

The display is also a hot topic, with talk of an OLED panel versus a low-cost LCD screen. A co-processor for docked performance and a possible increase in battery life only add to the intrigue.

While pricing and release dates remain unknown, the buzz surrounding potential games such as a new Zelda game, a Final Fantasy 7 remake, and an improved Breath of the Wild continues to build. Nintendo's usual secrecy only adds to the anticipation.

Windows 12: What Rumors Say

Microsoft's rumored Windows 12 has already been talked about, though no official confirmation has been provided. It is expected to be released in 2024, and it will be a significant improvement over its predecessor, Windows 11.

According to reports, Microsoft intends to continue providing significant updates free of charge to existing users. However, the possibility of purchasing a new Windows license remains. 

The transition from a forceful upgrade approach to a more lenient user-driven upgrade system is expected, similar to the approach seen in the transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

Leaked information hints at potential design changes reminiscent of macOS, a modular approach for diverse device experiences, and AI integration for content recognition and enhanced user interactions. 

Additionally, improved Arm device support might mark a significant stride in compatibility and optimization.

Samsung's Foray Into AI

Samsung's trademark applications hint at a groundbreaking move with the Galaxy S-series, aiming to unveil its first "AI phone." 

Details remain sparse, but indications of the company delving deep into generative AI have sparked curiosity.

While specifics on what an "AI phone" entails are elusive, the buzz around Samsung's commitment to incorporating AI into its flagship devices is undeniable. 

The rumored launch date coinciding with the next Galaxy Unpacked event fuels anticipation for an unveiling that could redefine smartphone capabilities.

More Tech Coming

The potential arrivals of the Nintendo Switch 2, Windows 12, and Samsung's AI-focused Galaxy phones in 2024 hold the prospect of redefining gaming, operating systems, and smartphone experiences, respectively. 

Additionally, users should also keep an eye out for potential new additions from Apple, such as the speculated iPad mini 7, iPad Pro featuring OLED, AirPods 4 equipped with FindMy and noise cancellation, and an updated MacBook Air boasting the M3 chip.
