Vivo is reportedly working on a successor to its first-gen Android tablet. The "Pad2" is now believed to come with upgrades such as a display with the highest refresh rate for its class, not to mention a high-end MediaTek Dimensity tablet. It may also challenge its putative OPPO rival with an increased focus on camera specs and a more competitive starting price.

OPPO's "Find N3" is now thought to launch as a 2023 foldable flagship smartphone with a main display that comes with upgrades in terms of size and resolution compared to its predecessor. The allegedly "ultra-thin", more powerful Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 rival just might also be the first of its line to launch outside China.

Meizu has unveiled the vanilla and Pro variants of its new 20 series of Android smartphones today (March 30, 2023). The devices are now poised to take on others such as the Xiaomi 13 series and OnePlus 11 with Qualcomm's new top-end processor, at least 12GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The 20 Pro also boasts fast wireless charging and triple rear 50MP shooters.

The new top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor has enjoyed its first outing in a foldable device, according to the AnTuTu benchmarking group. The SoC, along with other top-end components, are now said to challenge conventional rivals such as the Xiaomi 13 Pro as part of the Vivo X Fold2, an upcoming premium device now confirmed to launch later in 2023.

The Yoga 9i 14 is Lenovo's most expensive consumer convertible and relies exclusively on Intel processors. However, the brand new Raptor Lake Core i7-1360P does not really live up to expectations in our review because it lags behind last year's AMD models, especially in regard to the integrated GPU and efficiency.

The GT Neo5 SE is the upcoming mid-range iteration of its 2023 Android smartphone series. Nevertheless, Realme has now revealed that it has a display of a higher resolution and refresh rate compared to the Redmi Note 12 Turbo, the only other device on the market with the same new SoC. This official hype-post has prompted a famous leaker to claim that the SE's screen will be brighter, bigger and more responsive as well.

This year's Yoga 7i convertibles are slimmer than the previous gen and feature Intel's latest Raptor Lake-P/U processors. The 14-inch models include two OLED touchscreen options, but the 16-inchers only feature LCD IPS options. Both variants pack dual Thunderbolt 4 connectors, microSD card reader and fingerprint sensor.

With its 120Hz FHD+ display driven by an aging MediaTek Dimensity chipset, the Tecno Camon 20 Premier 5G seems like nothing special on the mid-range Android smartphone ahead of its reportedly upcoming launch. However, it might still have a chance of standing out, should an alleged in-the-wild shot of the housing for its main 108MP rear camera and its two back-up lenses pan out.

ViewSonic has launched a new line of tablets pitched at creators who want a device just for writing or drawing on the go (or "pen tablets"), one of which is now touted as the most portable 12-inch iteration of this category on the market. The ID1230 is joined by 7-inch (PF720) and 10-inch (PF1020) counterparts, each of which feature advanced pressure sensitivity, multiple hotkeys and USB type-C support.

Dell's Latitude 5430 Chromebook is a business-focused Chromebook that features 12th-Gen Intel CPUs, either a clamshell or 2-in-1 form factor, and security features like automatic enterprise enrollment upon booting the laptop for the first time.

Dell's latest Latitude 5000-series laptops boast 13th Gen Intel processors. Additionally, Dell focused on sustainability with the manufacture of these machines, increasing its use of recyclable plastics by up to 64%.

The flagship X17 HX workstation packs an Intel i9-13980HX CPU, up to 128 GB DDR5 RAM and an Nvidia RTX 3500 Ada professional GPU, while the Z17 / 16 HX models offer touchscreens with RTX 3000 / 2000 Ada GPUs plus RTX Studio compatibility. Budget-oriented users can opt for the M16 model with up to an i7-13700H CPU and RTX 3000 Ada GPU.

On first glance, the new Gionee F3 Pro looks like an iPhone 14 Pro that has gotten even more premium with a glass rear camera hump extension that integrates a secondary display. However, on closer inspection, the rest of the smartphone's internals match its bargain price.

The C55 has now landed on the Indian market as its OEM's long-fabled "Dynamic Island smartphone". Realme has indeed added a "Mini Capsule" to the device's build of Android 13; however, unlike the Apple original, this one is entirely software-based. Then again, it brings a new way of displaying things like charging info to the C55's 6.72-inch, FHD+ IPS screen.

This model integrates 16 GB LPDDR5 RAM and 1 TB NVMe SSD storage, as well as 2x Thunderbolt 4 connectors, 1440p webcam and fingerprint sensor. Acer will also offer a more expensive version with 32 GB RAM, along with a more affordable version featuring an i5-13500H CPU, 8 GB RAM, and 512 GB SSD.

The upcoming second-gen OPPO Pad is painted as capable of a high-end experience ahead of the Android tablet's imminent launch. In letting some more specs slip ahead of this event, the OEM has also all but confirmed others that may help underpin its current premium-tier hype. Meanwhile, a famous leaker claims to be able to test these claims with their own pre-launch unit.

Samsung has now officially confirmed that the Galaxy F14 has only 2 rear cameras, whereas some apparent counterparts such as the A14 come with 3. Nevertheless, it is also now touted to bring the new Exynos 1330 SoC to its "segment", as well as a large battery and Android 13. It is now set to unleash its "frevolutionary" set of features on the Indian market later this month.

Introduced in early 2021, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is a professional laptop with a 13-inch touchscreen display, Intel Core i7-1185G7 processor alongside Iris Xe graphics, 32 GB of memory, and a 1 TB NVMe SSD. Running Windows 10 Pro out of the box, this machine is now down from US$1,799 to US$1,399 thanks to a 22% discount.

The new 2023 model of the Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 offers many highlights including the new GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop or the new 240 Hz Mini-LED screen. Asus also uses the new AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX, which beats Intel's HX CPUs and is also more efficient.

The new CPU options include i3-1315U, i5-1335U, and i7-1355U without any Pentium entry-level models. The 4 GB RAM option also got ditched, leaving only 8 GB and 16 GB options. Otherwise, the design appears to be the same, with detachable keyboard and included stylus pen, plus a slightly larger 12.4-inch 2560 x 16000 touchscreen.

The 6.6-inch Galaxy S23+ is the mid-sized model in Samsung's current flagship series. From a technological point of view, it is almost indistinguishable from the 6.1-inch entry-level model, the Galaxy S23, but boasts significantly longer battery life.

Rumors of a Samsung Galaxy F14 coming to join the pre-existing M14 and A14 on the 2023 Android smartphone market have given rise to speculation that all 3 mid-range devices would share the same build. However, according to a new leak, this is not the case for the "F14", which is now being painted as a slightly bemusing blend of M14 specs and A04 design.

The new AMD Ryzen 7 7730U is particularly quiet, but also provides a lot of computing power. This is due to the performance profiles, which are cleverly tuned to the tablet- and notebook modes. And there is the display cover, which is covered with fabric in a matching color.

Huawei's upcoming flagship smartphone, the P60 Pro, has been captured in a new leak that purports to include an in-display selfie camera like that of the Dynamic Island of the latest iPhone Pro models. Should that be the case, the new feature could join up-to-date flat edges, some colorful side buttons and a unique camera hump in the upcoming premium-tier device.

Realme executive Madhav Sheth has hinted that the Android brand is on the brink of breaking into the most cutting-edge, and often most premium, segment of its market to date. Accordingly, it could release a rival to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 or Flip4 soon. However, the company seems undecided as to which one to go with as its first-gen foldable smartphone.

The Galaxy S23 is the smallest and cheapest model in Samsung's current high-end series. This year, a few shortcomings compared to the more expensive smartphones have been addressed, but not all of them.

The Galaxy M14 is now out there, as is the A14; nevertheless, it seems Samsung feels the world needs an F14 as well. The allegedly upcoming mid-range Android smartphone is tipped to share some specs with its virtual 2023 namesakes, a new chipset from its own OEM included.

Xiaomi's popular brand Redmi is projected to pair an on-trend display with MediaTek's new Dimensity 9200 flagship processor in the course of updating its 2023 range of Android smartphones with models such as the "K60 Ultra". The device may or may not also be involved in the OEM's rumored pivot away from its typical camera hump style to something more like Samsung's current signature style.

Meizu has set a date for the launch of its 20 and 20 Pro flagship smartphones, according to a new leak. The smartphones had been rumored to do so with a unique, if polarizing, look in a previous tip. However, according to newer live images, the OEM has gone with a design that might also appeal to fans of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series instead.

Vivo's next foldable Android smartphone is tipped to launch as the X Flip, the OEM's first device with a modern-day clamshell form factor. Its latest leak hints at a first-gen product with the potential to challenge class leaders such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 with a high-refresh-rate main display, as well as a postentially larger cover display.

Oukitel has started to preview an impending update on its WP21 rugged smartphone. It has most of the same specs as the original Android 12 device - however, the OEM has swapped its rear-facing secondary display for "industry-leading" InfiniRay thermal imaging tech to make this new Ultra variant. It will debut alongside a second new device later in March 2023.

Oukitel backs itself to surpass others such as AGM and Ulefone to become the brand with the rugged smartphone of the loudest (and largest) loudspeaker system. The WP22 may also outdo its rivals with a 10,000mAh battery - not to mention Android 13 out of the box. It will debut with a MediaTek Helio-series SoC and 8GB of RAM later this month.

The Realme GT Neo 5 (also now known as the GT3) is now official as the fastest-charging Android smartphone in 2023 thus far. A putative new variant of this device is now allegedly in the works - although it is tipped to drop many of its better attributes, class-leading SuperVOOC charging options included, for improved affordability. Then again, this "Neo 5 Lite" might still be able to offer an impressively fast "Ultra AMOLED" display.

Judging from what might be its inaugural leak, the next-gen version of Motorola's Moto G Power will launch as an affordable Android smartphone with minimal updates compared to its pre-existing 2022 forebear. Then again, this means the supposedly upcoming device may stand to offer features such as a headphone jack as well as USB type-C charging and triple rear cameras, albeit in a slightly more compact form-factor this time around.

The "Mix Fold 3", as the name implies, would be a third-gen foldable device from Xiaomi, should it really launch later in 2023 as projected in a new leak. It is also predicted to be at least as premium as its predecessor, integrating many of the flagship-grade specs of flexible and non-flexible members of its series alike.

Lenovo US has announced the start of its annual sale today (March 3, 2023), an event with savings of up to 75% on a range of ThinkPads, reducing one model in particular to just under US$250 in price. However, despite this attractive prospects a potential customer might be advised to consider whether the PC in question is really the best new machine for the home or office. Then again, there are others on offer that might be.

Samsung is now equipping its premium smartphone series globally with Qualcomm chipsets, which is definitely noticeable in our tests. But the Galaxy S23 Ultra also boasts some improvements outside the SoC.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is a mid-range Android smartphone with a potentially disappointing successor, according to prior rumors. However, the CE 3's latest leak purports to override these claims with new predictions of OLED, a higher-end processor and fast charging in the upcoming mid-ranger.

The Galaxy A34 and A54 are tipped to hit the market as more affordable alternatives to Samsung's latest flagship Android smartphones in 2023. According to a famous tipster, it may now not be too long before they become available. Meanwhile, another new leak purports to confirm just how similar the 2 mid-range devices are to the S23 series - in terms of looks, that is.

Volkswagen has now previewed its ne ID.3 with promises of upgraded design and 'smart car' attributes made in line with "the wishes of our customers”. Accordingly, its exterior and its aerodynamics are touted as "sharper", while its interior may get softer (and even more sustainable). However, and possibly most importantly, its infotainment system overhaul is rated to take the most cutting driver feedback into account.
