From Rollable Display Notebook To Earbud-Carrying Smartwatch 6 Weird-Yet-Wonderful Gadgets At MWC 2023

ZTE Nubia Pad 3D: With Nubia Pad 3D, ZTE is bringing a tablet on which you can watch content in 3D without any extra hardware or 3D glasses. The tablet comes with a diffractive lightfield backlighting (DLB) layer inside its 12.4-inch display which allows it to convert content to 3D almost seamlessly. The tablet also comes with dual 8-megapixel cameras at the front and dual 16-megapixel cameras at the back. [Image Credit: ZTE]

Huawei Watch Buds: Huawei threw a spin on the smartwatch case by literally making it a case for TWS. The Huawei Watch Buds seem like your regular smartwatch from the front with a 1.43-inch round AMOLED display. Then the face flips open and reveals a pair of TWS earbuds lodged inside the watch itself. The high-tech buds come with a planar diaphragm, touch controls, and even active noise cancellation.

Unihertz Luna: Unihertz showcased a phone called Luna which seems extremely "inspired" by the Nothing Phone (1), with its LED-laden back and transparent design. Well, the Luna has a similar LED-lit back, although the light patterns are different from the Phone (1). You get the option to choose from six different light options, a large 6.81-inch display, a 108-megapixel main sensor, and a massive 5000 mAh battery. [Image Credit: Unihertz]

OnePlus Liquid Cooler: OnePlus Liquid Cooler is a concept phone with a spectacular back. This is basically shaped like a power supply with a clip attached to it using the trademark OnePlus red cable. Attach the clip to the back of your phone, and the "semiconductor-based water cooling system" will bring down the temperature of your phone by almost 20 degrees Celsius. [Image Credit: OnePlus]

Lenovo Rollable Display Notebook: At MWC 2023, Lenovo demonstrated what seemed like a standard-looking ThinkPad with a 12.7-inch display with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Hit a switch on the chassis and that display suddenly starts to rise, and after some whirring, it finally settles at 15.3 inches with an 8:9 aspect ratio. It is technologically fascinating but does have a very work-in-progress feel to it. [Image Credit: Lenovo]

Panzer Matrix Hybrid Glass Screen Protector: While the display protectors save your phone's display from scratches and damage from falls, they themselves can be bad for the environment as they are made of plastic and glass and therefore not easily recyclable. Panzer has come out with a solution, with its Matrix series of screen protectors, which it says are made of Hybrid Glass. This screen protector is made of 100 percent recycled plastic.
