IFA has convinced me: Foldable laptops make more sense than foldable phones https://ift.tt/3rFXq52

I am at IFA 2022 this weekend, my first real-life event since the before times. Wondering the labyrinthine halls of the Messe convention center, it’s pretty obvious that everyone’s still a bit out of it. That includes bleary-eyed journalists, but the general lack of focus was more visible in the list of products that debuted at the show. It was kind of a snooze-fest, with one notable exception: foldable-screen laptops.

After checking out the first two foldable laptops on the market, I am convinced: Foldable laptops make more sense than foldable phones. Here’s why you should keep an eye on this new product category.

Best of IFA 2022 Awards: All the very best products https://ift.tt/oiFyCRa

IFA 2022 represents the first full-scale, in-person trade show in years. The manufacturers, media, and public are back in a big way and we spent the first few days of the show scouring the show floor for the best products in the categories we cover (and covet). Without further ado, here are the best products we found at IFA 2022.

Honor 70

At IFA 2022, Honor announced its striking mid-ranger, the Honor 70. The Honor 70 looks and feels great and it’s the first phone with the Sony IMX800 image sensor. But what really sets it apart from the modern smartphone crowd is that it’s actually priced reasonably, at just €549 (8GB+128GB)/€599 (8GB+256GB) and we think that makes the Honor 70 a wise investment in these inflationary times. Available now on Honor’s website.

The new and improved Matebook X Pro fixes Huawei’s silliest laptop problem https://ift.tt/KozQDvy

Huawei’s slow drift into consumer tech obscurity has been a sad sight to witness. In what now feels like an overnight switch, a juggernaut on course for world domination shrank into an industry minnow, with the US trade ban effectively crippling its mobile strategy outside of its homeland of China.

Of course, its phones were hit the hardest, with some canceled and others severely limited by the lack of familiar app stores and services. Other categories fared slightly better. Huawei continues to make quality true wireless earbuds and its wearables are still exquisitely designed. In spite of their individual qualities, however, it’s been tricky to wholeheartedly recommend otherwise wonderful accessories that only really excel when paired with a compromised Huawei smartphone.

• A leaked promotional video of the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra has leaked online.
• The promo shows that the device will be the first phone to ever have a 200MP camera.

In a tweet released today, leaker Evan Blass showed off a promo for the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. The interesting thing here isn’t necessarily the phone itself, but rather the camera sensor.

In the minute-long video, we get a close-up of a 200MP camera sensor on the back of the handset. This would make it the biggest camera sensor on any smartphone currently available.
