Best of MWC 2023

Mobile World Congress 2023 is a major technology event held in Barcelona, ​​known for showcasing cutting-edge mobile technology, and will conclude on March 2, 2023, filled with concept devices and several consumer products. The elaborate showcase that was done has ended.

Our team at Pocketnow has been on the show floor attending various keynotes held over the past four days. Here, in no particular order, we’ll highlight our favorites from the show floor and give you a glimpse of what the future holds.

techno mega book series

Packing modern hardware into a laptop is relatively easy, and many manufacturers have been doing it for years. However, it is difficult to combine all of these to provide a product that not only feels great but is also cost-effective and attractive. Very little is needed.

The MEGABOOK S1 focuses on being a portable workstation for professionals who require reliability and high performance. And to fill this role, the laptop is equipped with Intel’s 13th generation processors and 16 GB of RAM. And if you decide to take a break from work, the MEGABOOK S1’s 3.2K display and 6-speaker setup won’t disappoint as it makes media consumption a great experience. The MEGABOOK T1, on the other hand, with its high $500 price tag, great performance, and fun color options, makes it a great laptop for the younger members of the family.

Honor Magic vs.

The HONOR Magic Vs is a familiar device that entered the Chinese market late last year. However, the OEM took the stage at his MWC to announce the global availability of a large foldable that boasts impressive specs.

The whole theme and hype of this announcement is about the fact that you have the option to buy another foldable device that isn’t overshadowed by the robustness of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. competition for the last four years.

The HONOR Magic Vs has a striking design and is very light and thin for a foldable device. There’s also no noticeable crease in the center of the display. When folded closed, the device appears to close flat, adding to its overall appeal. Each of these factors makes it better than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Other specs include a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, a 5,000 mAh battery with 66W charging support, and a robust camera array. The device will retail for €1,599, but we’ll have to wait for HONOR to announce the exact date of its open sale.

Honor Magic 5 Pro

The Honor Magic Vs has been on stage for a while, but the main focus of the Chinese OEM’s announcement was this year’s flagship HONOR Magic5 Pro. However, we guarantee that your device will stand out and not detract from its appearance.

Now housed within this interesting-looking section is a triple camera array consisting of wide, ultra-wide and periscope lenses, each using a 50-megapixel sensor. Our team member was able to preview his performance that camera while using this device.

Aside from the unique rear camera setup, there’s a lot more to love when you flip the Magic5 Pro over. It has a beautiful 6.81-inch quad-curved display that refreshes at 120Hz, making your eyes tired. Managing all the hardware in this phone is the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

HONOR has shown itself to be a brand meant to compete at the highest level, and the Magic5 Pro follows in the footsteps of its predecessor with the right type of refinements to fulfill this mission.

huawei watch buzz

When device makers combine two different products, the result is often overlooked as a gimmick. Huawei Watch Buds may have a similar aura. Still, the brand has a history of making incredible audio hardware and smartwatches, so if you’ve been looking for a device like this, this combination is worth considering.

Accessing the earbuds is as easy as pressing the watch face to open it and pull it out for a music session. Also, space constraints, which are expected to play a negative role for this device, are not an issue. Smartwatches can record accurate data for health monitoring, and earbuds have control systems (you can tap around your ear to relay input) and audio hardware, making them fun and easy to use.

Both devices offer decent battery life. The watch can last him three days without a charge, while the earbuds provide him four hours of listening time. The $449 Huawei Watch Buds are an interesting product to watch.

Motorola Rizr: Rollable Phone concept

The Motorola Rizr, a rollable mobile phone concept that needs no introduction, has caught the attention of many media outlets with its unique system that expands the display from a chunky 5-inch panel to a 6.5-inch unit. It’s based on a dummy that Pocketnow’s Jaime Rivera went through last year and said he was very impressed with the prototype Motorola showed.

The device features an Android user interface that changes modes with a double press of the power button and transforms accordingly. With this hardware having a positive impact on consumer devices, I can’t wait to see what Motorola has to offer next.

Lenovo Rollable Laptop Concept

Motorola made headlines with the Rizr, but Lenovo didn’t hesitate after previewing similar rotatable hardware with its Thinkbook. From the front, the device looks like a simple laptop, but with the flip of a switch, the compact 12.7-inch display spreads out onto a huge 15.3-inch screen (measured diagonally) by a motor mechanism. is hidden. in the chassis.

After already showcasing the unique and eye-catching dual-display Yoga 9i at CES, we’re happy to see Lenovo once again dabbling in hardware that’s fundamentally changing the product category.

OPPO Find N2 Flip

OPPO’s hardware showcase at MWC was full of exciting announcements. They unveiled several IoT products and their next-generation AR glasses, Air Glass 2, but the product that piqued our interest was the OPPO Find N2 Flip.

This foldable design foldable phone is entering the global market and will be a direct competitor to the Galaxy Z Flip 4. Many would draw parallels between it and Samsung phones for the sake of similarity, but the device has its own stand – foldable screen with less noticeable creases and enough to access information Features include an external 3.26-inch display for extra space and shortcuts for quick actions.

In addition to its physical advantages over its competitors, the Find N2 Flip doesn’t compromise performance when it comes to the raw power of your applications or images. The OPPO phone strikes a nice balance, and if Samsung chooses to iterate on hardware only, this device will offer stiff competition.

xiaomi mi 13 pro

Similar to HONOR’s device, the Xiaomi Mi 13 Pro has already hit the market in China, with MWC setting the stage for its global release. This latest generation of OEMs is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Leica-named camera system, so it’s guaranteed to deliver the best possible results in every aspect, including raw performance and photographic capabilities. I am aiming for

Xiaomi’s partnership with Leica has resulted in this device that uses components designed by the camera giant. And from the first impressions this device left, I admired the work that the two brands put into this camera system. He’s also one of Sony’s few devices with his 1-inch IMX 989 sensor.

one plus pad

The OnePlus Pad made its first appearance at OnePlus’ Cloud 11 event in New Delhi, India. Our team on the ground had the opportunity to spend some time with the tablet and came back with a positive impression but the accessories that came with it were not available at MWC 2023 his OnePlus with a keyboard accessory and a stylus The Pad was beautifully displayed.

The tablet comes with an easy-to-handle design due to the presence of curves in the chassis and hardware that shows it doesn’t struggle with performance.It has an 11.6-inch LCD panel with a refresh rate of 144hz and a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 processor powers this panel It is packaged with 12GB of RAM in the back. There’s also a 9,510 mAh cell to support the entire system.

So far, its specs are some of the best we’ve seen on paper, but how much OnePlus charges for the tablet will be a key factor in its market impact. If you’re looking for an Android tablet with a similar look and feel, this is worth considering. The OnePlus Pad will be available for purchase in April 2023.

TCL NXTPAPER 11

Rounding out the MWC 2023 awards is the TCL NXTPAPER 11, bringing the next generation of NXTPAPER technology to the table. What makes this device special in our eyes is the rigor with which TCL continues to invest in the idea of ​​matte displays for mobile devices. I hope the makers of dabble in such hardware.The main improvements for this generation include an increase in luminance output to a maximum of 500 nits, and TCL has reduced this panel’s blue light emission. and succeeded in reducing eye fatigue.

The TCL NXTPAPER 11 tablet is priced at $250, features an 11-inch 2K display, comes with MediaTek’s Helio P60T processor, and has an 8,000 mAh cell to power the system. For that price, this tablet from TCL is a great mid-range option to consider as it offers a level of visual experience that many other tablets in this price range have difficulty competing with.
