We have talked about the rising cost of smartphones this year. But today, a new report highlighted by Android Authority suggests that average smartphone storage capacity will continue to increase in 2026, even as component prices climb. According to market research firm TrendForce, average storage across smartphones is expected to rise by about 4.8% this year.

Samsung, as well as MediaTek, has recently unveiled the world’s first 8K TV which supports the new Wi-Fi 6 standard that allows it to smoothly stream 8K content. This is due to the fact that the aforementioned TV comes equipped with MediaTek’s custom Wi-Fi 6 chipset, which is compatible with the new Wi-Fi standard.

The new Wi-Fi 6 standard has recently been unveiled which is not only backwards compatible with previous Wi-Fi standards, but it is also able to achieve up to 1.5Gbps based on a test conducted by CNET. To put it into perspective, CNET managed to download all 22 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies in 4k resolution in less than 2 hours and 20 minutes.

Based on a statement by cnet.com, the development of the new Wi-Fi 7 standard is currently underway which promises up to 30Gbps in speeds over Wi-Fi connection. Not only will it be significantly faster compared to today’s standards, but it will also be broadcasted over 6GHz frequency which was first introduced in Wi-Fi 6.
