Can anyone suggest a new ESP32 board?

Yeah, there are a few interesting new ESP32 boards out lately. If you're looking for something cutting-edge, check out the ESP32-P4 series. The ESP32-P4-EYE is great for camera/vision projects — it’s got MIPI-CSI, USB 2.0, built-in camera, mic, display, and even a MicroSD slot. There's also the P4-Function-EV-Board if you want to experiment with multimedia interfaces or build smart displays (it supports a 7-inch touchscreen).

For IoT stuff, ESP32-C6 is really catching on. It supports Wi-Fi 6, BLE 5.3, Thread, and is Matter-ready. Boards like the XIAO ESP32C6 (from Seeed) or the ESP32-C6 DevKitC-1 from Espressif are solid picks if you're working on low-power or Matter-based devices.

Also worth mentioning:

    1.Arduino Nano ESP32: Compact, beginner-friendly, and based on the ESP32-S3.

    2.ESP32-S3-BOX-3: Powerful AIoT dev kit in a nice enclosure.

    3. LilyGo T-Display S3: Has a built-in LCD, great for UI-based projects.

Unexpected Maker’s ESP32-S3 lineup (TinyS3, FeatherS3, OMGS3, etc.): Really well-made, small boards with solid deep sleep performance.

If you're just doing camera stuff on a budget, the old ESP32-CAM is still relevant.

Depends on your use case, but if you're into Thread/Matter or future-proofing your IoT project, the ESP32-C6 boards are probably your best bet right now. For edge AI or multimedia, look into the ESP32-P4 boards.

Hope that helps!

Several new ESP32 boards have gained popularity in the community recently, each for different reasons depending on the use case—AI, low power, display integration, or future IoT protocols. Here's a breakdown of the most liked ones:

ESP32-S3

1. Native USB support (no external serial chip needed)
2. Supports AI instructions for image/speech processing

ESP32-C3

 1. Based on RISC-V architecture
 2. Ultra-low power for battery-operated devices

M5Stack Series

1. Includes display, case, and built-in sensors
2. Modular design for quick and easy prototyping

ESP32-C6

1. Features Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5 + Thread/Zigbee

Each has its strengths, so the "most liked" depends on the user's project needs. But overall, ESP32-S3 and ESP32-C3 are currently leading the popularity charts.
