According to Gizmodo, Lenovo has introduced a see-through ThinkBook concept laptop. This 17.3-inch notebook with a transparent micro-LED display and projected keyboard offers a glimpse into the future of portable computing.

While this laptop may remain a concept, its design hints that Lenovo is on the right path. On the other hand, TCL unveiled the NxtPaper 3.0, a 14.3-inch tablet with a 2.4K display resolution.

It boasts TCL's Nxtpaper technology that provides a soft E Ink display rather than a lower-resolution LCD. With a price tag of under $400, this tablet promises to deliver an immersive reading experience and impressive battery life.

New Smartphones and a Smart Ring

In smartphones, TCL announced its 50 Series, set to debut in the US market later this year. These budget-friendly devices, including the TCL 50 XL 5G and TCL 50 XE 5G, aim to offer advanced features at an affordable price point.

Motorola allowed this year's visitors to go "hands-on" with its bendable smartphone concept, which the company already teased at last year's showcase. This smartphone could bend to wrap around a wrist or stand on a table.

On the other hand, Samsung unveiled its wearable Galaxy smart ring. It followed last month's announcement about the Samsung Galaxy 24 series.

Tecno also showed its lineup, featuring the Dynamic 1 companion robot dog that looks like a bigger version of Sony's Aibo and the Pocket Go handheld gaming console with a pair of smart glasses, offering a unique gaming experience.

Oppo presented the Air Glass 3 smart glasses prototype, designed to seamlessly connect with Oppo smartphones, providing users with touch access to its machine learning bot.

Overall, MWC 2024 showcased a diverse array of neat gadgets designed to keep you at the forefront of modern technology.
