If this is what you think sometimes and are looking for a mid-range smartphone without support for the newest mobile communication standard, Samsung has an offer for you: The Galaxy A22 4G is more compact than its 5G version, but also slower at a similar price. So is the 4G smartphone only something for 5G fiends?

Almost a Mi 11. The Redmi K40 Pro+ comes to Europe under the name Mi 11i, and it plays in the big leagues in terms of performance. Just like the flagships of the Mi 11 series, the Mi 11i also features the high-end Snapdragon 888 SoC. Only the price takes a different direction. The Mi 11i starts at a price of 100 Euros (~$117) less than the very similarly equipped Xiaomi Mi 11, and the trend is sharply downwards.

Selfie queen. The Vivo V21 5G focuses on the cameras. The highlight is supposed to be the 44 MP front-facing camera, which is equipped with an OIS and dual LEDs. However, a promising 64 MP lens is also the centerpiece on the back. We took a closer look.

More than just 5G. Contrary to what the name suggests, the Oppo A74 5G is more than just a simple 5G upgrade of the LTE model with the same name. Among other things, the cameras and the display have been optimized. We will find out whether everything has changed for the better in our review.

High-end MX450. Lenovo's 16-inch all-rounder delivers more than enough computing power for office and Internet applications. It also brings all modern computer games smoothly onto the 16:10 screen - at least in HD resolution. The Tiger Lake processor and GeForce MX450 GPU make this possible.

One model, two different thicknesses. The G713 series consists of at least 16 different configurations of various AMD CPUs, GeForce GPUs, battery sizes, and even thicknesses. There are good options to be found in there, but ours is perhaps not the best.

Well-rounded. The Ryzen 7 APU and the GeForce RTX 3070 laptop GPU bring all the latest games smoothly onto the matte QHD display. Because of the low TGP, the GPU performs below its capabilities. The laptop offers space for three storage drives.

17 inches with the MX450. With its 17-inch display, the HP Envy 17 is well-suited for the consumption of media contents, as well as for simple games and office tasks. An Intel Core i5-1135G7 and Nvidia's GeForce MX450 are supposed to deliver sufficient performance for this. Our review shows how well this works out.

Saved on the display. The Samsung Galaxy Book Go is a very affordable notebook that is suitable for everyday office tasks and web surfing. With the ARM processor, the laptop offers a very good battery life, but also limitations. We will clarify what these are in our test report.

The return of the killer. The OnePlus Nord 2 5G also aims to embody the manufacturer's original aspirations: A budget smartphone that can keep up with much more expensive premium devices. This worked out quite well for the predecessor, but will the second attempt be convincing as well?

The Sporty. With over 90 sports modes and a VO2max test, the realme Watch 2 Pro seems to serve athletes better than the round, and in several points better equipped realme Watch S Pro smartwatch. However, the realme's training log is poor.

Not quite the ace of spades. The AceBook 1 will attract a lot of eyes with its sub $400 USD price point, but it comes with a bunch of caveats buyers should be aware of. This passively-cooled Celeron laptop can only get you so far before things slow to a crawl.

Rockspace might not be a big name yet, but the AC2100 wireless router feels like a mature product and it delivers a lot for its price. At less than US$80, this piece of hardware sports beamforming MU-MIMO technology, four antennas, wireless speeds of up to 1733 Mbps, as well as excellent management software.

Rarity value. Samsung's Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is an exotic: one of the rare 8-inch tablets, available starting at 169 Euros (~$199) and also with LTE for an additional 30 Euros (~$35). The Android-11 tablet is equipped with an eight-core SoC from MediaTek, 32 GB of storage, speakers with Dolby Atmos and a family-friendly Kids Mode. Our test shows what the small Samsung can do.

Idea(l)Pad? The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15ALC05 offers a powerful CPU/GPU combo and a large battery for less than 1,000 Euros (~$1,174), but it also surprises in the test with a few points of criticism compared to its 14-inch sister model. Our review reveals the exact strengths and weaknesses of the 15.6-inch laptop.

The sporty one. Meanwhile, more wearables measure the oxygen saturation in the blood than leave the display permanently on. The Oppo subsidiary's realme Watch S Pro is also the only smartwatch with an always-on display so far. Our review explains what else it can do and what it has over its predecessor.

Slowed down. Acer only grants the installed GeForce RTX 3080 laptop GPU a relatively low TGP. As a result, the frame rates are clearly below average. A firmware update provides some improvement.
