The ZX Spectrum Next is going to be interesting....

Look at that industrial design! Designed by Rick Dickinson who was behind
the ZX80,ZX81, ZX Spectrum, Spectrum Plus and QL
It's pretty but they're only renders so far. There's no hardware yet.
It will, in theory, be a redesigned TBBlue in a retro-ish case.
If you want an off-the-shelf FPGA enhanced Spectrum, it already exists:

Availability is limited and erratic, though. Like a Mac mini, it's
BYODKM. And it doesn't have a Spectrum expansion connector, because
it's a 3.3V device and the Speccy was 5V -- but they're working on it.
