The eventful year of 2020 is just one day away. There have been so many incidents this year. The coronavirus paralyzed the whole world, and people had to stay indoors. There were a lot of other social issues.

But what we're interested in is IT, right? The coronavirus has caused many companies to switch to telecommuting, which has slowed development more than ever before. Many games, movies, electronic devices, etc. were postponed and there were many problems. But this year, cool smartphones and game consoles appeared and people cheered for them.

Let's take a look at five of the hottest IT news in 2020. We don't have much time. If you read it late, tomorrow will come!

1.     ZOOM

The first thing I want to introduce is ZOOM. Why did ZOOM become one of the hottest news in 2020 even though it was a fairly old program launched in 2011? The reason is that COVID-19 Pandemics has prevented people from meeting each other, and ZOOM is the program that allows groups to make video calls in real time.

ZOOM is a platform focused on teleworking and Internet lectures. Because the camera and screen can be used at the same time, many companies and institutions have been using it. Internet lectures were originally a function used by only a small number of people. However, because COVID-19 Pandemics prevented people from going to school, many lectures were replaced by the Internet. And because corporate meetings have been replaced by videoconferencing, the demand for ZOOM has increased beyond our imagination.

ZOOM supports both Windows, Mac, Android and IOS, so it can be used if it has the corresponding electronic devices. People who don't have a PC are hard to find these days. Even if you don't have a PC, it's hard to find people who don't even have a smartphone because the supply of smartphones is active. This allowed almost everyone to have lectures and meetings on video, which made ZOOM very popular.

However, ZOOM does not have only positive aspects. Due to the rapid increase in the number of users using ZOOM, the number of malicious users also increased as many users were created. Interference operations such as playing obscene videos or obstructing other people's meetings through screen sharing are called Zoom Bombing, which is emerging as a big problem.

Even so, ZOOM is helping many people and is now a necessary element in life.

2.     Xbox Series X

Next, I will explain about Xbox series X. 2020 is also the anniversary of a generational shift in video game consoles. Sony's PlayStation 4, Microsoft's Xbox One, Nintendo's Switch, etc. have moved to the past, and the era of new game consoles is now opening.

Among them, the first device to start was the Xbox Series X. Although the Xbox series S was also released as an entry point for the model, the product that attracted people's attention was also the Xbox series X.

The Xbox series X released a console with tremendous specifications under the slogan "Power Your Dreams" and "The World's Most Powerful Console." The ninth generation game consoles, which have been unveiled so far, have approached consumers with enhanced performance. Xbox has also seen many performance improvements in hardware.

As a technical feature, the Xbox series X supports 3D audio technology. But that's not all. It supports as many as three 3D audio technologies. There are three audio technologies supported: Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Windows Sonic, which can be played with great sound. Of course, if you want to enjoy this sound effect, make sure to wear headphones. This is because it is quite difficult to implement with speakers.

CPU has also changed a lot. AMD's CPU is equipped with a great security processor from Microsoft. The previous Xbox One had never been able to hack a hacker in seven years. With this great security, you'll find great security in the Xbox series X.

However, the most cheering part of these players is that they consider the convenience of the user very much. The Xbox series X has an additional feature called Quick Resume, which is an instantaneous stop to games supported by the Xbox series X, as well as instantaneous storage. Simply put, it automatically saves the last played point when the screen switches to the dashboard during the game. This means that you can enjoy console games just like using mobile applications.

This capability allows the last played point to be recalled immediately without any loading. For updates, even if the device is restarted or power suddenly shuts down, the game can be played at the last minute. The most inconvenient part of playing console games was the worries about saves. If I end without making a save by mistake, all the games I played will disappear. In this case, it's quite depressing, and I want to applaud for the improvement in this area.

3.     PlayStation 5

The next explanation is PlayStation 5, the second generation game console. There are a total of three game consoles released in 2020, but two are the most popular. It is the Xbox series X and PlayStation 5. The PlayStation 5 is a successor to Sony's PlayStation 4.

PlayStation 5 has the slogan "Play Has No Limits." This console has made significant changes in performance. In particular, we have significantly improved the performance of GPUs, which allocates the power usage of the GPU to the total system power usage, so that the clock is not fixed and operates variablely. For this reason, it is possible to play games with consistently good performance without dropping frames. Currently, many people measure that they maintain maximum performance for approximately 95% of the operating hours.

As part of the consideration of user convenience, we officially support multi-player between generations. By integrating the servers of the PSN, multi-play can be done without distinguishing the differences in the models. Existing multi-play game progress and friend lists can also be transferred. It's not just this. The game of PS4 can be upgraded to PS5's specifications and played. In general, if the console's generation is replaced, the specifications of the existing game will be upgraded for a limited period of time, or paid. However, PS5 can do this at no additional cost. It's probably an unprecedented benefit.

4.     iPhone 12

iPhone 12 was released on October 13, 2020 and was released on October 23. It was released with such good performance that it is said to be the best iPhone ever. The biggest change in the iPhone is that it will be able to see the angular border again, which has not been seen since the iPhone 5 and the iPhone SE.

Apple fans will say 'iPhone 4' in chorus if asked to pick the most famous iPhone. The iPhone X and iPhone 4 are popular among many people because they were released with great designs by mixing them nicely. I changed my phone to iPhone 12pro this time.

AP also improved performance. The AP was changed to Apple A14 Bionic, which is about 16% higher than the Apple A13 Bionic used for iPhone 11. Apple's new devices become popular with many people every year. But I think the iPhone that was released this time is really well made.

Of course, it is not without any controversy. Since the release of the iPhone 12, power adapters and EarPods have not been included in the package under the pretext of carbon emissions. Many people have criticized it and said it was unreasonable, but Apple is sticking to this policy without making a proper stance. Ironically, however, iPhone sales were huge. I have nothing to say about this part because I also bought it.

5.     Galaxy Z-Flip

This is the last story. The last news to introduce is Galaxy Z Flip. Samsung plays a huge role in the Android smartphone market. In the smartphone market, the image of Apple and its rival is strong, and they were developing cool smartphones while competing with each other. However, Samsung lacked the image of innovation compared to Apple, and the quality of smartphones was always good, but there was no significant impact. However, Samsung was preparing innovative devices without anyone knowing. Starting with Galaxy Fold in 2019, it started developing flexible displays as its focus. The newly released Galaxy Z-Flip folds the smartphone vertically.

The Galaxy Z-Flip has an in-folding structure, and the display panel is folded. It can be thought that it is similar to Galaxy Fold, but unlike Galaxy Fold, which has two smartphones folded into one, Galaxy Z-Flip is a smartphone that is close to the concept of folding in half.

The feature also supports most of the functions of Samsung's smartphones. Not only Samsung Pay and Bixby but it also works with Windows 10. Unlike Apple, which has a closed OS, it is compatible with many devices because it is an Android-based smartphone, and it shows a good performance, so it is better to use the Galaxy Z-Flip if not Apple Mania.

Additional issues include limited edition models in collaboration with designer brand Tom Brown. Of course, it's hard to find the average person because they've sold it at a high price.

to finish

I can't believe 2020 is coming to an end. I'm not that old, but I've never had such a boring year in my life. It was the worst life to be isolated at home without meeting friends. I don't know when this terrible corona will end. Vaccines have also been developed, and many medical staff are suffering, but they will not be seen until at least six months later.

Despite this, however, a strain of the virus comes out and many people walk the streets without masks because they are not aware of the epidemic. Everyone should be alert and join in social distancing to end this terrible plague.
