1.The most "exciting" tech product: the Huawei Mate 60 Pro seriesIf you want to say that the most advanced technology products in the industry this year, then the return of Huawei Mate60 series is absolutely unacceptable, and it is "hard to find a machine" at the beginning of the Pioneer Plan. Previously, no phone could have been able to increase its price four months after it was released.

In addition, the return of Kirin 9000S's self-developed chips and high-speed mobile network communication capabilities has also made the Mate 60 Pro series a very "uplifting" product in the field of domestic self-development, Hongmeng 40The improvements made in fluency also make it a mobile phone product that can compete with iOS in terms of fluency.
2.Best** Shoot phone iPhone 15 Pro MaxStarting from Xiaomi 12S Ultra, domestic mobile phones have ushered in a wave of explosion in imaging capabilities, and more and more products have invested heavily in photography capabilities, trying to replace the card machine to become a new generation of "card machine", and we are indeed doing better and better.
However, in terms of shooting ability, the current iPhone 15 Pro Max still has at least a generation gap with all Android phones.

3.Best Body Worn Vlog Camera DJI Osmo Pocket3Before the release of the Pocket3, I thought DJI had axed this product line. After returning after a lapse of two years, DJI took out the "King Bomb" as soon as it made a move.
DJI OSMO Pocket3 Source: Lu Photo Pocket3 Most of the accessories that require external connections to work in the 1st and 2nd generations are built into the body. In addition: 1-inch sensor, wireless microphone with better sound quality, quick-release system inherited from the Action2 generation, rotatable screen and other new features make it the most cost-effective vlog camera in terms of image quality, volume and practicality, and its appearance is like a joke for the Canon PowerShot V10 launched this year.
4.The best foldable phone OPPO Find N3There are many devices in this year's folding screen products that have the potential to become explosives, such as Huawei Mate X3 X5, Honor Magic V2, etc. in the large folding field. The small folding Samsung Flip5 and vivo X Flip are also very competitive. But in addition to making the machine thinner and lighter, the only thing that allows users to make fundamental changes in the form of use is the OPPO Find N3.
OPPO Find N3 Source: Photo by LU In terms of hardware, although it is the last Snapdragon 8gen2 folding screen product to be released in 2023, the core competitiveness of OPPO Find N3 is actually on the system.
The addition of the virtual screen of the super field of view scene,Let OPPO's inner screen can be expanded"infinite",Users can choose the app they need to use at the moment to pull it into the home screen,And the app that is not used temporarily can be thrown aside,Will not forcibly occupy screen space。
Although many users feel that the Find N3 has changed the shape of the little fat man of the Find N family before, it is not fundamentally different from other folding screens, but I think that the increase in size in exchange for a thinner body thickness, stronger image capabilities and longer battery life experience, the upgrade of Find N3 is still very positive.
5.The best smart wearable to buy is the OPPO Watch 4 ProIn fact, for a long time, I thought that smartwatches were actually only divided into Apple Watch and others.
Because no matter from the perspective of software and hardware adaptation, accessory ecology, and fluency, the smart watches launched by most Android mobile phone manufacturers really can't compete with Apple Watch. The biggest reason why they survive is that the Apple Watch doesn't support pairing with Android phones.
But after the release of the OPPO Watch 3 Pro, I changed this opinion, because it is indeed a rare "true smart watch" among Android watches at present, and the OPPO Watch is ahead of other Android manufacturers in terms of hardware configuration and system smoothness.
OPPO Watch 4 Pro Source: Photo by Lu The release of the OPPO Watch 4 Pro has made it closer to traditional watches in terms of "texture", and the use of the common "raw ear structure" of traditional watches also makes the replacement of the strap more arbitrary, and it is no longer limited by the manufacturer's official bayonet. What is certain is that in the increasingly competitive wearable device market, OPPO has gained a firm foothold with the most complete functional experience and relatively long battery life.
6.The most invivasive portrait weapon for girlfriends, vivo X100 ProWhen it comes to portrait photography, there must definitely be a place for vivo.
Personally, I learned about vivo's portrait photography capabilities from the X70 Pro+. Although the X70 generation is not very good, with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ from Samsung, its imaging capabilities are still recognized by most users.
On the X100 Pro, vivo has taken a step further in its cooperation with Zeiss by moving the flagship APO floating lens group in Zeiss lenses to the mobile phone. Compared with the main camera, what is even more outstanding on the X100 Pro is this native 4The 3x, 100mm-equivalent "100 micro" lens has a very strong strength in both human expression and macro photography.
vivo X100 series Source: Lu Photo In recent years, the proportion of "sugar water tablets" in the hearts of users has decreased year by year, and vivo has also added vivo texture colors on the basis of Zeiss natural colors and vivo bright colors, so that users can have more choices in photography style.
In addition to the hardware power, the vivo mobile phone is equipped with Origin OS4 also further improves its usability, whether it is the new device-side large model, or atomic notification, vivo office suite These traditional strong arts, Origin OS4This generation of operating system is comparable to Hongmeng 4 and IOS operating system in terms of fluency and practicality.
7.Best Volume King Realme Realme GT5 ProPrices start at 3298 yuan.
From the moment Xu Qi, the boss of Realme China, announced the price of the Realme GT5 Pro, I felt that both Redmi and IQOO were uncomfortable and crazy. If you look at the most worthwhile mobile phone products in the 3000 yuan price segment at the end of 2023, Realme GT5 Pro is really very competitive.
realme GT5 Pro Source: Lu Photo Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen3 processor, LYT-808 main camera + IMX890 periscope telephoto + super light and shadow engine algorithm directly taken from OPPO, 5400mAh large battery + 100W wired fast charging + 50W wireless charging, these configurations can sell you 4000+ to other manufacturers, but realme is to make a friend mentality to set the ** at 3298 yuan.
If realme is facing the biggest problem now, it is actually that the products of this brand are not like OnePlus that can openly "enter" OPPO stores. This sub-brand independent from OPPO currently does not rely on OPPO's relatively mature offline channels before and after sales, so it is in an embarrassing situation: "you can't touch it before you buy it, and it's not easy to repair it after you sell it".
But it is not excluded that realme GT5 Pro is a good product, and the user feedback that has been received on the major social networks is not bad, and its cost performance in the 3000 yuan range is indeed beyond doubt.
8.The imaging flagship that replaces the card player Xiaomi 13 UltraAfter the cooperation between Xiaomi and Leica, a lot of thinking has actually been done in the product form. If 12sultra is a product of Xiaomi's small knife, then 13ultra has departed from the traditional sense of "image flagship". Whether it's a camera grip kit or a phone case design with interchangeable filters, this product is closer to a card player that can play ** and share social networks.
The grip of the 13ultra mobile phone is really bad, and it is very uncomfortable to use as a workhorse for a long time. But its full-range image capability makes you really want to take it with you when you go out to play, and I've struggled with the GR3 and Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra countless times before going out, and finally chose Xiaomi without exception.
Ricoh GR2 Xiaomi 13Ultra Source: Lu Photo In the field of landscape photography, Xiaomi 13Ultra is indeed a unique product at present, making it easier for ordinary people to shoot good things that are willing to share with friends**, which is the biggest "magic" of 13Ultra. However, in terms of portrait photography capabilities, the 13Ultra currently has a significant gap with the OPPO Find X6 Pro and the vivo X100 Pro.
Fortunately, we've seen Xiaomi's progress in portrait photography on the Xiaomi 14 Pro, and hopefully we can see even more robust portrait performance on the upcoming 14 Ultra in 2024.
9.The most anticipated product, Apple Vision ProThis is the personal terminal of the future as defined by Apple, and Cook swears that it will replace the iPhone in the near future.
Vision Pro Source: Apple's official website Although I looked at the starting sale of more than $3,000 ** and expressed doubts, I have to admit that whether it is the demonstration at the press conference or the feedback from friends after I was fortunate enough to go to the site to try it on, without exception, this is a "next-generation" product that has never existed before. Judging by the "we're dead" look on Zuckerberg's face during the interview after the press conference, this thing is far more capable than we laymen seem.
In early 2024, the Vision Pro will officially go on sale, but China is not in the scope of sales, but it is not surprising that we should be buying one with a lot of money, and then we will bring you a more detailed experience.
10.The most reborn product, the OPPO Find X6 ProThe Find X6 series is actually quite controversial, and its advantages and disadvantages are actually just as obvious.
The plus thing is that it's finally getting rid of the annoying rear camera on the Find X5 Pro, bringing the image flagship back to what it should be, and the Oppo really has something to do with low-light portraits, it performs very well in low-light environments, and the color tone is very advanced.
OPPO Find X6 Pro Source: Lu Photo But the disadvantage is that the power consumption brought by the Mariana X chip is really too large, plus the working voltage of the IMX989 sensor itself is also high, which together make the battery life of OPPO when shooting is not as good as other 8gen2 image flagships, and the vivo X90 Pro+, which also has a built-in self-developed image chip and IMX989 sensor, is significantly better than Find X6 in terms of battery life Pro, this is also the main reason why many users sing about the OPPO battery life "diabetes insipidus" on the Internet.
But you have to admit that it is a very good overall expressive product, and it also has unique gameplay such as Hasselblad Pro Mode and X-Pen in shooting, but this is the only product on the current list that I don't recommend buying.
Because we have already got the full range of Find X7 products, it is no exaggeration to say that all the shortcomings on the OPPO Find X6 Pro have been fixed on the Find X7, if you are interested in this product, you may wish to pay attention to it, and look forward to our follow-up report.
This is the 10 most recommended consumer electronics products to buy in 2023, if you have anything you want to recommend, please leave a message and say the detailed reason why you were selected, so that everyone can see if it is "deserved".
