Tablet

Despite its wallet-friendly sale price, the Tab P11 Gen 2 is a well-performing Android device thanks to the Mediatek Helio G99 SoC and fast UFS 2.2 storage, while the 2K IPS display is good enough for prospective buyers who plan to use their new 11-inch Lenovo tablet for media consumption.

Samsung is preparing to refresh its entry-level Galaxy Tab A series. Next up for release are the Galaxy Tab A9 and Galaxy Tab A9 Plus, which have both been spotted online ahead of their official introductions later this year.

The launch of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series is still rumoured to be months off, with Samsung expected to hold both tablets back until the autumn. In the meantime, regulatory bodies have confirmed the battery capacity and charging speed of the Tab S9 FE Plus, while Samsung itself has also outlined colours and memory configurations for both upcoming tablets.

The Xiaomi Pad 6 is a very good midrange tablet and well-made successor of the Xiaomi Pad 5. At a current price of 350 Euros (~$381), the Xiaomi tablet is massively improved in many areas and at eye level even with some more expensive competitors such as the Apple iPad 10.

ESR's latest Kickstarter campaign combines its line of charging stations with wireless charging docks specifically intended for iPhones, AirPods and Apple Watches with up-to-100 watt (W) wired charging for the first time.

1MORE's flagship TWS accessories have fallen to a sub-US$100 price during the OEM's latest online sales event. The EVO earbuds are joined by the SonoFlow ANC headphones in this sale, and by the colorful ComfoBuds Mini. Most items on offer require a specific code for the maximum discount available.

It will start at just under €300 with the offer of free accessories, and also comes with an exclusive introductory discount.

The most spacious model variant of the 2021 iPad Pro with the fast Apple M1 SoC is equipped with 2TB of storage and originally carried an unaffordable price tag of US$1,699, which has now been discounted to a much more bearable US$849 thanks to a limited-time deal.

Huawei might be able to release smartphones with 5G again, even those of the mid-range Nova series as well as high-end P50 or Mate 50 successors, soon. The OEM has registered a whole host of new products with model numbers traditionally associated with up-to-date mobile connectivity within its company. They all also seem to come with slightly outmoded Bluetooth specs, however.

Teclast has released another inexpensive tablet, shortly after launching the T40 Air. The Teclast M50 Pro has a 10.1-inch display, a Unisoc Tiger T616 chipset and 8 GB of RAM, among other features.

RedMagic claims to have made a power brick that can charge both gaming laptops and smartphones - possibly at the same time, even. The "cool and fun" new 150W accessory has a DC port as well as the USB type-C ports, 'transparent' design and RGB lighting that might be expected of its brand. It is currently offered as a backer's reward on Kickstarter.

SK Hynix touted LPDDR5T as the fastest ever DRAM for mobile devices on its early 2023 launch. Now, the OEM claims to have verified these claims using MediaTek's next flagship Dimensity-series SoC, slated to launch as the 9300 later this year. Accordingly, smartphones that rock both this processor and the new class-leading RAM are slated to emerge in 2024.

Lenovo ThinkPads are still known for rather robust designs, even if newer variants are much thinner and lighter. The Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga G4 AMD is an exception, as the plastic base without any metal frame to strengthen it is rather weak.

HarmonyOS 4.0 contains a number of new features oddly reminiscent of the newer versions of iOS, Live Windows included. It is a new animated pill for the top or top corner of a given device's screen, which can expand as it tracks functions such as recordings and countdowns. Accordingly, Huawei's adoption of this UI tweak might officially endorse certain Mate 60-series display upgrade rumors.

The ultra-cheap Lenovo Tab M8 comes with low-end specs such as a MediaTek Helio A22 processor with 2GB of RAM and an 8-inch IPS display, but thanks to its LTE connectivity, the affordable Android tablet can be a practical device for certain use cases.

OnePlus claims to bring liquid cooling to mobile gaming with its latest product announcement. Not only that, the new Radiator is also rated to reduce a magnetically connected device's temperature by up to 34 degrees Celsius and support wireless charging at the same time - which, as OnePlus' latest flagship smartphone does not have that feature, is ironic.

Update: Roland Quandt shares Indian pricing for 6 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage and Wi-Fi only variant.

Xiaomi is said to launch a new, Max variant of its Pad 6 flagship Android tablet series soon. Now, these rumors are bolstered with a new claim of Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra-challenging screen real estate from a typically reliable source.

Lepow calls its latest portable monitor the DualViews, as it allows the user to connect not just one but two extra screens to a range of devices.

Not only that, but one of the DualViews' screens is to have touchscreen functionality.

Elon Musk has announced that the site heretofore known as Twitter will "bid adieu" to its former brand identity, iconic blue bird avatar included. Company CEO Linda Yaccarino has touted the announcement as a pivotal stage in the social media platform's evolution into an "everything app" that integrates payments as well as multimedia messaging.

Apple's rumored OLED iPad Pros are not even here, yet are now already credited with the ability to boost demand of other panels made of the same popular screen material made for the tablets or laptops that will be released to compete with them. The resulting growth of their segment is now projected to outpace that of the OLED market in general over the next eight years.

Oukitel touts its new RT6 as its "most powerful" rugged Android tablet yet. Its 10.1-inch display is sustained by a battery with a capacity as large as some power banks out there, rated to stay on for no less than 2,250 hours on standby.

Then again, their battery and charging stats remain constant.
