So, here are the top 10 upcoming products we expect to revolutionize the world this 2016.

1. New version of Microsoft Surface

Microsoft had released its Surface Pro 4 last fall. And later this year, the technology giant will probably release a new version of its laptop/tablet hybrid later this year, Business Insider noted.

2. Samsung Galaxy S7

The latest version of Samsung's flagship Galaxy phone is expected to be unveiled in February. Based on a Wall Street Journal article in December, Samsung's new smartphone will feature a pressure-sensitive screen, which is comparable to the 3D Touch feature on the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.

3. Apple's Wireless Earbuds

Since the new iPhone won't have a traditional 3.5mm headphone jack, Apple is reportedly developing wireless earbuds, which will be released with the next iPhone, 9To5Mac noted.

Unfortunately, the device is only available to some developers for $1500. But Hongkiat revealed that other tech companies are trying out and creating an affordable version for consumers.

6. Form 1

Well, 3D printing has now become a revolutionary idea that could make your digital design into a solid real-life product.
