Despite the economical future of 2023 hanging in limbo and a global recession looming large, there seems to be no dearth of interesting tech products headed your way. From 200-megapixel smartphones and convertible laptops to all-in-one workstations and virtual reality headsets, tech manufacturers are not shying away never mind the delay in delivery times. Here's what we can look forward to in 2023.

SMARTPHONES

APPLE IPHONE 15

This year's annual Apple event in September promises to be a special one, with an overwhelming number of reports suggesting the addition of USB-C for the upcoming iPhone 15. Apple confirmed that it'll comply with the recently passed European Union ruling that mandates all new phones sold in the region must support USB-C charging by 2024. However, the company is yet to confirm if the USB-C iPhone would get a global release or will remain Euro-specific.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S23

Samsung is expected to take things up a notch this year, with reports of a heavily updated Galaxy S23 doing the rounds. The Korean manufacturer might be introducing a 200-megapixel main camera with the S23, along with a tweaked design and a more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.

LAPTOPS

LENOVO X1 YOGA GEN 8

Lenovo will be launching the all-new X1 Yoga Gen 8 in April 2023. At a reported price tag of $1,859 (Rs 1.53 lakh), it will be considerably more expensive than the G6, but for a good reason. The foldable 2-in-1 laptop gets the same specs as the high-performance Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11. This includes Intel's Core i7 processor, Intel Iris Xe graphics, up to 64GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and to top it off, 2TB of Gen 4 PCIe NVMe SSD storage. As far as the display is concerned, expect a 14-inch OLED panel with up to 4K resolution.
