This year's cold winter is particularly cold, but it has not stopped the pace of intelligent hardware development, and has even ushered in an explosive period.
In the past year, technologies such as Wi-Fi 7 routers, high-end projectors, and glasses-free 3D displays have emerged one after another, and smart wearable devices such as smart watches, AR glasses, and open-back headphones have also made great progress.
With the advent of AI large models, some intelligent hardware, including AI learning Xi machines, has also been plugged into the wings of "artificial intelligence", which has greatly increased the degree of intelligence and is more closely connected with people.
As a result, we have screened the outstanding smart devices in the past year and planned this award activity, recommending outstanding smart devices and technologies from the six perspectives of "best design", "most attention", "best quality-price ratio", "technological innovation", "best experience" and "editor's choice", in order to give you reference.
You are also welcome to actively speak and discuss in the comments and choose the best smart device products in your heart.

In the field of 1,000-yuan smart watches, which is the most competitive, the design of the Huawei WATCH GT 4 series is very unique, divided into two sizes: 46mm and 41mm, with completely different design ideas and a very suitable user base.
The HUAWEI WATCH GT 4 46mm Edition adopts a very unique "octagonal" design, which is improved on the basis of the circular outline of the previous generation, and uses edges and corners to fuse lines, outlining a highly symmetrical octagon with up, down, left and right, and a streamline with a sense of speed and power, which has a super high degree of recognition, giving the watch future technological attributes.
The 41mm adopts a standard circular shape, with a smaller diameter, a 13% increase in screen-to-body ratio, and a further reduction in the visual perception of the black edge of the screen. The thickness has also been reduced to 9.8mm, making it more comfortable to wear. The lugs and crown are suspended at the midpoint, like three golden stars hanging in the air.

最受关注奖：大疆Mini 4 Pro
The DJI Mini 3 Pro released last year caused a shock in the drone industry, and everyone exclaimed: It turns out that the Mini series of drones can be so strong, and how strong can the next generation of Mini be?
This year's Mini 4 Pro really lives up to expectations, supporting omnidirectional active obstacle avoidance for the first time, equipped with 4 wide-angle vision sensors, down-looking binocular vision sensors, which can accurately detect obstacles in all directions.
And it still continues the lightweight body design of less than 249 grams, and can shoot 4K/60fps HDR, 4K/100fps horizontal and vertical videos, which perfectly explains what it means to be short and concise.
Most Talked-About Award: Apple Vision Pro
It has long been rumored that Apple is going to build XR glasses, and it has finally arrived, which is the Apple Vision Pro, which officially came out this year.
For the past 15 years, the iPhone has been Apple's focus. But from 2024, the center of gravity will change to Vision Pro, which is a historic moment.
Vision Pro is a mixed reality device that blends AR and VR, and Apple calls it a "spatial computing device".
Users can immersively play games, watch movies, work and experience VR functions, or use sensors on the surface of the headset to project people and objects from the outside world into the virtual world, so as to realize AR functions.
Vision ProLooking at the 3D video shot by Apple's mobile phone has been amazing, and for a few more years of Apple's development, people will be immersed in Vision Pro in the future, and "unwilling to wake up" is really not to say.
Most Talked About Award: Huawei FreeClip Headphones
FreeClip is Huawei's first open-back earbuds that "clip" onto your ears when worn, without entering the ear canal, making them healthier and more comfortable.
The earbuds also support automatic left and right recognition, and the wearable type is not divided into left and right ears. Each earbud weighs about 5.6 grams, and the open design allows the ear to breathe on its own without a sense of occlusion.
In the past few years, TWS earphones have gradually become the mainstream of the market, and the existence of wired earphones is almost invisible on the streets.
The launch of Huawei's FreeClip headphones also means that mobile phone manufacturers have begun to make efforts on wireless open-back headphones, and I believe that in a few years, this new headset will be popular all over the country.
最具质价比奖:TP-LINK BE3600
Last year, when I heard Wi-Fi 7, I thought it was far away, but I didn't expect it to be close at hand this year, and it was so cheap.
