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.

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!
