Hardware predictions for 2021

[CFOP2020]

I also want a new yuxin 6x6 thats good like if they made a red v2 that would be cool

 

[Rouxster]

My predictions:
Dayan tengyun 4×4
Gan square 1
Some magnetic kibiminx
A new flagship in the valk line up
Mscube v2 3×3

 

[Cuberstache]

Galaxy v3 since the galaxy v2 is basically dead with the releases of the yuhu v2 and dayan v2
A good FTO

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

Lots of people mentioning Dayan 4x4. Is that something that’s been discussed or mentioned or are we all just hopeful DaYan will move beyond 3x3?

I personally haven't heard anything about it, so I think it's just something people want to see. Dayan has made some good 3x3's lately, so I guess they want to see those same qualities in a 4x4.

fwiw dayan did make some 4x4s with mf8 back in the day that were considered decent. nowadays anything mf8 is considered crappy but maybe dayan will bring a 4x4 back like they did with their guhong.

Gan releases a $100 cube that’s essentially an 11 M Pro but with a few more buzzwords from the marketing team!

Magnets on springs cyoubx's idea.
Don't forget adjustable plastic thickness

Hopefully my cube finally comes out this year

Gan:
- 1 or 2 more unoriginal 3x3s that nobody asked for, starting at $65 and topping out at $75 (unless there's a limited edition; then it will go up to around $80-$90)
- Will ignore the pleas to upgrade their 4x4

Qiyi:
- Hopefully another Valk 3x3 (but I doubt it)
- Valk 4 v2 (also doubtful)
- More X-Man NxNs
- More budget cubes that nobody buys

Moyu:
- Aoshi WRM and Aofu WRM
- Weilong GTS4?
- Meilong 13x13-15x15 (maybe bigger?)
- Another solid magnetic budget cube

Yuxin:
- Does absolutely nothing of value and stays irrelevant

Dayan:
- A new line to go along with the Tengyuns and the Guhongs
- Tengyun 2x2 v2
- Tengyun 4x4

YJ:
- MGC side events (pyraminx, megaminx v2, skewb, square-1, clock)
- Hopefully another 3x3, but that's pretty unlikely

I do be roasting Gan, Qiyi, and Yuxin though (even though Qiyi doesn't deserve to be roasted; only about their non-magnetic budget cubes).

The touch sensors act like antennas on the Stackmat. The password is “malfunction.”

Hopefully my cube finally comes out this year

I'm excited to see the final product!

The qiyi MS cubes have been successful so I think their budget cubes are selling. The first cube I got when I got back into cubing was a $5 Warrior W and you can find them on Amazon on eBay so I think they are selling, just not to speedcubers. I still recommend the (sticker less) little magic to my friends learning how to solve although the meilong might be better now.

Gan will also release their 2nd tier Gan 11 sometime in spring or early summer

QiYi are always making 2 series that clash with each other, so it'll be surprising if that doesn't happen multiple times again with their new series.

Hardware Predictions
MoYu will create a brand new system based in the rate of their development at the moment. Perhaps based on Honeycomb? Or a new "GES" like their previous tensioning system.

 

[qwr]

Actually since Dayan made a very lightweight cube, maybe they will make a heavier cube like their lunhui

 

[SH03L4C3]

cheaper smart cube will happen because that concept is maturing.

 

[Sub1Hour]

Bad Gan squan, good YJ squan, eh-ish Moyu squan, and a budget Qiyi squan (probably a magnetic refresh of the qifa).

I think any gan squan will be pretty good compared to the current market (the bar is low)

I highly doubt that, especially since the volt v2 is actually really good. Plus, it will probably have qiyi squan syndrome.

I'd still buy it anyway

Doubtful wish: A good Gan 4x4
General wish: RS3M 2020 with already strong magnets (without the need of the magnet kits by scs and thecubicle)
