These 2024 mobile trends include durable 5G business smartphones, anime-inspired devices and nostalgic flip phone concepts.
While the OnePlus collaboration with HoYoverse -- the OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact Edition smartphone -- is designed for fans of popular game Genshin Impact, designer Viet Doan Duc's reimagined Nokia N90 phone concept pays tribute to mobile phones from previous eras. The latter is reflective of consumers' recent appreciation for Y2K-inspired design, an aesthetic that has made a significant resurgence in the fashion industry.
Other 2024 mobile trends to note include portable, on-the-go power accessories like the STATIK Snap-N-Charge Universal Power Bank, "a modular, all-in-one mobile charging solution for consumers to use with their favorite devices to keep them running without sacrificing functionality." Additionally, innovative home products like Plant Factory's hydroponic farm allows full automation and temperature, lighting and water pump speed control all through a convenient mobile app interface.
