Lenovo has made its second-gen Android gaming tablet official today (July 22, 2023). The 2023 version of the Y700 comes in two colors and three different RAM/storage SKUs, which may be just part of what helps the new version blow its inaugural predecessor away in terms of performance. Then again, their battery and charging stats remain constant.

The Mate 60 series is said to launch as Huawei's next premium, non-foldable line of smartphones. They are now also projected to do so with long, pill-shaped cut-outs, so as to house an array of multiple front-facing image sensors. This is not the first time the OEM has gone with this kind of notch alternative - however, a prominent leaker fears it is doing so for the wrong reasons this time.

The Razr Plus (or Razr 40 Ultra, depending on its region) is Motorola's latest foldable flagship Android smartphone. The OEM has overhauled its design for consumers who want a cover display of the greatest size possible; however, the company clearly did not take YouTubers who would prefer to bend it in the wrong direction into account while doing so, as JerryRigEverything host Zach Nelson has just discovered.

OnePlus is now projected to produce an R variant of its next flagship Android smartphone, as it did with the 11R in 2023. However, this "12R" exhibits even fewer design updates than the "12" as leaked thus far, if anything. Its alleged resemblance to its putative predecessor belies upgrades that may only just start with its processor.

Nubia has now officially updated its 2023 Z50 Android flagship smartphone series with a new variant based on the upgraded Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Leading Edition SoC. The Z50S Pro is also backed to rival other top-end mobile devices with cutting-edge 1-inch main rear camera sensors with many attributes shared with professional cameras - even if the actual sensor size in question is not one of them.

The HP Pavilion x360 convertible laptop is currently on sale at Best Buy for less than US$400. The machine comes with a 6-core Core i3-1215U CPU, 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, and 256 GB of storage. Display duties are handled by a 14-inch FHD panel that also support touch input.

The Nubia Z50S Pro is a flagship-refresh Android smartphone is down to its last 24 or so hours ahead of its launch. Nevertheless, the OEM has decided that now is the perfect time to spring a full rear panel design reveal on its Weibo audience. The new post describes how the resulting, eye-catchingly bright and shiny SKU in question came to be.

Realme has now confirmed that the C53 confers the ability to "Shoot like a Champion" with a 108MP main camera for cheaper than ever before. The smartphone also offers an additional, potentially winning, perk in the form of the OEM's take on the Apple Dynamic Island: its "Mini Capsule for Android". However, this premium veneer of hype comes with frankly puzzling choices in other ways.

RedMagic has invited its fans who live outside China to join the "Winners' Circle" with the 8S Pro. It is touted as the ultimate form of the OEM's Android gaming flagship smartphone with the "strongest" version of the top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC to drive its "most advanced" 6.8-inch, 93.7% screen-to-body ratio AMOLED display. However, not all of its most ground-breaking specs have found their way to new markets.

The Nothing Phone (2) is touted as a considerable upgrade over its inaugural predecessor in terms of specs, performance and rear-mounted LEDs. Now, it seems the 2023 Android smartphone has also become easier to take apart in this generation. That might also give its users a better chance of fixing certain aspects of the device themselves, if they want or need to.

Lenovo promises to unlock fun and creativity all day long with the latest version of its Tab M10. Its compact 10.6-inch display chassis is touted as water- and dust-resistant. Its 2K screen is TÜV Rheinland-certified for eye comfort while using the new slate's Reading Mode. It also runs on a 5G-capable Qualcomm processor and, thus, supports additional functions such as "lag-free" video calls.

Realme has announced that the C53 is on the way as a "108MP Champion" for the masses. This formerly more premium spec is thus set to trickle down to a whole new tier of the Indian smartphone market. Then again, taking it up at this level may entail compromises in other ways, such as a large battery hampered by slow charging.

The 12 has been unveiled as one of Redmi's most affordable new smartphones of 2023. It is now headed to India, hyped as a "Style Icon" with "Crystal Glass Design". Its launch is still weeks away from now (July 14, 2023), however; in the meantime, the OEM has released a preview involving a "stunning colorway" for its new market.

Motorola's Edge 40 is a strong midrange smartphone with good performance, long battery life and a bright OLED panel. A special feature is the slick haptics, including a vegan leather back cover.

The K70 Pro is tipped to launch as Redmi's first Android smartphone to launch with the successor to the current top-end mobile processor from Qualcomm. The SoC might drive a display with on-trend specs and features on. The K70 Pro is also backed to debut with a battery that exceeds the traditional top-end 5,000mAh limit - albeit not by much.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 is said to be Samsung's best-designed clamshell foldable Android smartphone to date. However, a hands-on video with an alleged dummy of the device still seems to exhibit signs of a gap created by its hinge when folded, a feature often linked to the increased risk of fragility.

RedMagic has confirmed that its Android gaming flagship smartphone refresh is headed to the international market, and sooner rather than later. The 8S Pro will bring "sleek design" powered by the "Leading Version" of the latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC to regions such as Europe soon. It will also boast a particularly large battery and class-leading display specs on its July 2023 launch.

The Xiaomi 14 is expected to emerge as a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered upgrade over its 2022/3 forebear. However, these improved specs may come in a package almost unchanged in terms of looks, according to a new leak. Therefore, fans of this flagship Android smartphone series might stand to expect yet more boxy camera humps - with more nearly bezel-less flat screens, at least.

The latest predictions on Apple's switch to OLED technology purports to confirm that it will indeed start with the iPad Pro - albeit not until 2024. The top-end slate tends to come in 2 display size options, both of which are slated to upgrade to this new screen type next year. Both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch variants might be capable of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max' latest screen-saving features, as might the inaugural OLED MacBook.

Realme is expected to launch a "GT Neo6" (or, possibly, GT3 Pro for the international market) with a particularly fast AMOLED display, albeit perhaps driven by a higher-end processor. Now, the device is also slated to get a new 50MP main camera from Sony, along with the same class-leading charging options as its Neo5 predecessor.

Realme has applied one of its newest "Mars Horizon" design languages to its latest mid-tier Narzo-series smartphones. They have been unleashed on the Indian market with up to 120Hz displays and dual rear cameras, although the most usable sensor may have been reserved for the top-end variant. The 60 Pro is also the only one of the series with a whopping 1TB internal storage SKU.

OnePlus has now made its latest Nord-series flagship official. The Dimensity 9000-powered Android smartphone has made the switch to a flat AMOLED display for its third generation, and pairs this spec to 8 or 16GB of RAM, with increasingly rare IR blaster support to control other devices such as TVs. The OEM has kick-started its availability with European pre-orders sweetened with "free gifts" and offers.

The Honor X50 is the first ever Android smartphone to debut with the new SGS five-star certification for drop resistance. It also offers 16GB of RAM for less than US$300, and has 5G thanks to its mid-range, if first-gen, Qualcomm chipset. The X50 has also launched with a 120Hz 1.5K AMOLED display kept on with an unusually generous 5,800mAh battery.

Honor has announced that it will debut a new tablet during its upcoming major product event. The first-gen MagicPad is touted to alter perceptions in its market with a potentially distinctive 13-inch display with an "eye-protecting" IMAX tie-in on top of that. It is now officially slated to debut alongside a new eSIM-enabled smartwatch and smart TV.

OnePlus has now confirmed that the Nord CE 3 will launch as an Indian-market exclusive on July 5, 2023. The brand has also revealed some processing, design and display specs for the upcoming device. Meanwhile, its closest sibling the Nord 3 has been teased as a higher-end smartphone with a "flagship" main camera.

The Legion Y700 is one of the most compelling Android gaming tablets of recent times. Now, Lenovo has just announced that a "brand-new" version of the 8-inch device is on the way. The OEM asserts that it will combine power and approximately one-handed portability on its late July 2023 debut.

The Realme GT Neo5 (or GT3) switched to a transparent look for its rear camera hump on its early 2023 debut. Now, its Neo6 successor's alleged new take on the same design is thought to drop Nothing Phone (1)-esque lighting to follow a trend to be set by next-gen flagships from other brands such as Google or Xiaomi. It might also have the specs to match - albeit without the class-leading charging spec of the Neo5.

The 11S is iQOO's first ever flagship-grade smartphone that combines a flat display with the brand's ultra-fast 200W charging technology. To that end, it is touted as a new "super fast, super clear, super smooth" e-sports-ready mobile device. Even though it has ostensibly been launched to refresh the 11 Pro, it has the exact same internal specs, however - except for the new top-end storage spec, of course.

The Pixel Fold may have encountered an early stumbling block with a high-profile durability fail in review already. However, all hope for the new ~US$1,800 device's long-term viability may not be lost, with the announcement of upcoming “genuine spare parts” sold through iFixit. Their availability will be one of various repair options for the new flagship smartphone.

OPPO is now said to have secured an advanced display panel from Samsung for a successor to its current Find X6 Pro flagship smartphone. It is projected to improve on its forebear in several ways, screen real estate and power-efficiency being chief among them. Should that be the case, it may emerge to take the top-end Android market on in early 2024 - outside China this time, hopefully.

Asus has upgraded its Studiobook 16 for 2023. The DialPad for creative users remains, but the processor is now much faster. However, the cooling has more work to do, which is noticeable through the loud fans.

Onyx launched the BOOX Page, a 7-inch E-Reader with specs rivaling some entry-level and mid-range Android tablets. The BOOX Page runs a modified version of Android 11 with plenty of handy features for managing a library of eBooks.

Honor has now confirmed that it has a "revolutionary" addition to its Magic V series of foldable Android smartphones ready to unleash shortly in 2023. The V2 is touted to "set a new standard" in its market with innovative features that may solve some problems of previous generations. Honor has also announced that it will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the more affordable X series of smartphones beforehand.

The ROG Flow X13 model in question is not yet in stock, but if it starts selling at the listed price and Best Buy adds some discounts, it could become an attractive budget gaming option that benefits from a glossy touchscreen, increased versatility with the 360-degree hinge. fast LPDDR5-6400 RAM and a port selection with USB4 and the XG mobile interface.

We praised the 2022 Latitude 9430 2-in-1 for its thinness and selection of ports. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for its successor the Latitude 9440 2-in-1.

Realme has revealed that it has upgraded its latest Narzo-series smartphones to the same design as its latest mid-range 11 Pro-series flagship Android smartphones. The round rear camera hump-centric look has been rebranded to "Mars Horizon" for the 60 series, which is thought to embark upon the affordable 5G segment of the Indian market on its early July 2023 launch

The Realme 11 Pro and Pro Plus (or Pro+) are the latest Android smartphones to launch with a round rear camera hump. The higher-end model also still has a 200MP main camera in its new market. The devices also offer 120Hz AMOLED displays driven by the Dimensity 7050 5G SoC and are now available in countries such as Germany - for now.

Motorola's latest and "Star Spangled" online sale event has kicked off with up to US$500 off its flagship Android smartphone line-up - from 2022, that is. There are also attractive offers on the Pantone-themed Edge 30 Fusion, as well as discounts on some mid- to low-tier Moto G-series devices.

iQOO has now revealed the date and time on which it will unleash its refreshed 2023 Android flagship smartphone, the 11S. The device has been thought to vie with the RedMagic 8S Pro to be first to launch with an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC - however, according to a famous leaker, its brand has chosen to go with super-powered specs in other areas instead.

ONYX International has presented the BOOX Tab Mini C as a potential companion for work or travel. Its new 7.8-inch display supports the brand's latest Kaleido 3 e-ink technology for "sharp" detail in both monochrome and color. It has a Qualcomm CPU and an "exclusive" GPU, rated to help the Mini C work as a tablet as well as a particularly vibrant e-reader.

Volkswagen recently announced that it intends to take the sub-€25,000 (~US$27,000) segment of the car market by storm with the new ID. 2all. However, the company is now rumored to have an even cheaper electric vehicle (EV) in the works. The 'entry-level ID' is said to launch with a new platform and a super-compact build.

The robust smartphone from HMD Global offers some real qualities and is comprehensively protected against dust, water, shocks, and extreme temperatures. In addition, the Nokia XR21 gets four years of updates and has a large battery. What else do you need to be happy with a smartphone?

Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy M34 is on the way to a release via Amazon India "to meet all your needs". The smartphone is thought to do so with a 120Hz AMOLED display, triple rear cameras and Android 13 out of the box. The OEM has also hinted at a crowd-pleasingly large battery and processing specs for the upcoming device.

The premium gaming smartphone brand RedMagic is now tipped to launch a first-gen Android tablet alongside the traditional flagship smartphone refresh in 2023. A leak hinting at a specific date for this event hints that this event might occur in the next 2 weeks from today (June 24, 2023). In the meantime, a second-gen Transformers x RedMagic limited edition has been unleashed.
