Robo & Kala touted its eponymous tablet PC as the thinnest and lightest machine in its category on its launch via Kickstarter. That event has gone so well that the start-up is now able to sell the 2-in-1 via its own online shop. It also now sells accessories such as the device's magnetic keyboard and Smart Pen.

The new 15.6-inch x360 is the highlight of this year's Envy lineup as it is the world's first laptop to feature the IMAX Enhanced certificate that goes hand in hand with the FHD OLED touchscreen. Intel's Raptor Lake options include the i5-1335U and i7-1355U models for the 14-inch and 15.6-inch models, while the 17-incher also gets i5-13500H and i7-13700H options.

The OPPO Reno10 Pro Plus is predicted to launch as a mid-range Android smartphone with high-end rear cameras, a switch to a new telephoto lens optimized for low-light photography included. It may also have a display of an increased resolution compared to its predecessor, as well as faster charging - with one potential drawback.

The new TravelMate P4 series has launched with most of the highest-end specs to be found in Acer's latest crop of Raptor Lake-powered business laptops. They include up to 64GB of RAM, up to 1TB SSDs, and RTX 2050 cards to drive 16:10 displays, even in the new 14-inch convertible version. It also has up-firing speakers with DTS Audio and 4G/LTE to augment Wi-Fi 6E connectivity in common with the non-Spin 14- and 16-inch variants.

The next (and apparently imminent) generation of OPPO Reno-series smartphones may launch with the Honor 90 line-up as their closest competitors, particularly as the two sets of devices might launch with nearly identical SoCs to their respective predecessors. Then again, the OPPO devices are projected to win out, even though the 90 Pro just might have a main camera rated for a 200MP resolution.

OPPO's 'global' foldable smartphone, the Find N2 Flip, is now eligible for a new software update, rated to upgrade the experience of using its secondary (or "cover") screen somewhat. It involves the addition of a feature that converts speech into messages on apps such as WhatsApp, as well as the ability to control Spotify (to a certain extent).

Huawei has just made the latest generation of its Band official in both NFC- and non-NFC form. The fitness tracker is mainly touted as a lighter version of its predecessor with more band options that are more user-friendly this time. The fitness tracker has launched alongside the Enjoy 60X, a new smartphone that brings top-end Mate-series design and a massive battery to its mid-range segment.

Volkswagen has finally announced full specs, configuration options and launch dates for the ID.7 today (April 17, 2023).

Huawei's Enjoy series of smartphones is now believed to get a new member that will bring multiple 50MP rear cameras to its mid-range market segment. The 60X is also tipped to benefit from a high-end design re-vamp that leaves it looking more like the OEM's new top-end foldable flagship. It may also run HarmonyOS 3 out of the box and come with an old-school notch in its FHD+ display.

Motorola is projected to launch a new Razr with a bigger cover display than ever before in 2023. Now, the foldable Android smartphone is tipped to launch alongside a second version for the first time in the same year. This allegedly inaugural Lite version will drop its flagship counterpart's upgraded feature to debut as a more "affordable" option.

The Xiaomi 13 Lite is the most affordable entry-level model in Xiaomi's 13 series. The main plus points compared to its predecessor are the improved camera and the even brighter AMOLED display. The 6.55-inch smartphone can be purchased online for around US$450.

The ROG Phone flagship mobile gaming devices is back in 2023 with a new series. It starts with the vanilla 7 with rear-facing RGB logos set into a new two-tone finish – and then goes right up to the 7 Ultimate with a rear-mounted OLED “ROG Vision” secondary display and an AeroActive port to augment the series' new GameCool 7 thermal management system for its “no-compromises” internals. The 7 and 7 Ultimate have debuted alongside the new AeroActive Cooler 7 accessory that integrates a sub-woofer for the first time.

The i5-1340P Slim i7 is now available for US$1,180 with 16 GB LPDDR5-5200 RAM and 1 TB NVMe SSD, while the i7-1360P model with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD is priced at US$1,602. Both feature 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports and the new touchscreen option with 2880 x 1800 and 120 Hz.

Vivo's major product launch, now allegedly set for later in April 2023, is projected to introduce a second-gen Android tablet as well as the OEM's latest foldable devices.

The two slates are now said to come in different colorways, for a start.

ZTE has announced a new foray into the Android tablet market with the new Axon Pad. The device is now officially slated to launch later in April 2023, with a flat-edged metallic unibody design marked out with a large, single-lens rear camera hump. It is touted as capable of forming an ecosystem between itself and smartphones such as those of the flagship Axon 50 series.

The Honor Magic5 Pro offers a pure high-end experience, now including a guaranteed update period that can keep up even with that of the Google smartphones. In addition to the great 50-MP triple camera setup, it focusses particularly on security and privacy. We summarize the test for you again here.

Vivo has confirmed that its folding mobile device tech is going clamshell for the first time, in the form of the inaugural X Flip.

Its processor and TUV Rheinland-certified hinge integrity are also now official ahead of its impending launch.

Amazfit is currently promoting its program by which it sells some units of its wearables that have been "professionally" refurbished with even more attractive discounts. They consist of the rugged T-Rex Pro or 2 premium smartwatches at up to 20% off their already reduced "renewed" prices via the brand's Amazon Store for a limited time.

This model also packs 8 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, 512 GB PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD, 5 MP webcam with IR sensor, SD card reader and HP's rechargeable MPP 2.0 Tilt Pen.

Motorola's most potential-laden - and "Wi-Fi 7-ready" - Android flagship to date has finally arrived in Global Edition form. The Edge 40 Pro has brought its class-leading pOLED display and top-end internals with it to international shores. It also outstrips most of its competition with 125W TurboPower charging technology, and features triple rear-facing cameras, two of which are 50MP.

Vivo is now backed further than ever to launch its first ever clamshell foldable smartphone. The "X Flip" has allegedly been spotted in the hands of a Chinese pop-culture personality who might be introduced as the Android device's official spokesperson soon. The leak may also thus reveal finalized details on its design and cover-display use-cases prior to launch.

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 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.

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.
