Top 80 Mobile Trends in April

From Gen Z Video Apps to Full-Color E-Ink Tablets

— April 22, 2023 — Tech
This list of April 2023 mobile trends encompasses the latest releases across the mobile tech industry, including software, hardware, and services. These trends range from unique environmentally-friendly materials to companies launching convenient and innovative applications for on-the-go use.

One example of convenient software is 'Zigazoo,' a Gen-Z-focused video creation and curation application. What is unique about Zigazoo is that it is currently exclusive and invite-only, meaning each user on the service is verified in some way. Additionally, the app does not feature text posts or comments, as any comments or responses must be posted in the form of short videos, which offers a more engaging form of communication.

On the hardware side, the Retroid Pocket 3+ Metallic Edition is a unique Android tablet, as it features a solid aluminum frame, built-in controls for Android users who enjoy playing games on the go, and a high-resolution, 16:9 aspect-ratio display. This means the RP3+ Metallic Edition is not only suited for basic Android tasks, but also content streaming from consoles or PCs, as its 16:9 display is perfect for modern devices.
