glennzb's GADGET GIFT GUIDE (Vol. I)

If you have a geek in your life and you're currently racking your brain to come up with the perfect Christmas surprise, over the next few weeks I'll be compiling a review of my reviews to make things a little more straightforward for you.

On the other hand, if you ARE a tech-junkie like me, and you'd like to drop a few heavy hints in someone special's inbox, why don't you forward them the URL of this page and get the ball rolling?...

First, something fun...

The Samsung Gear VR

This is so much more than 3D, it's the visual equivalent of surround sound.

Just whack your phone in and blow your mind with an ever expanding selection of virtual experiences.

The latest edition of the Gear VR is compatible with more phones than ever, including the Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge+, S6 and S6 Edge.

Or how about something really useful?...

The ASUS Transformer Book Flip TP200

This bendy wee beastie gives you genuine flexibility on a budget.

The easy touch of the keyboard, the rounded corners on the casing and the dependability of its long battery life, all add up to a solid, reasonably priced alternative to being stuck with either a tablet or a laptop.

If it's a mid-priced phone you're looking for...

There's always the Huawei P8 Lite

If you need a decent phone rather than a spaceship in a tiny box, this might be the one.

An elegant-looking handset with plenty of functionality for the money. It's an option well worth considering if you can't justify the spend on the latest high-end features you might never use.

Although, if you are looking for a rocket ship, it's hard to go past... 

The Galaxy S6 Edge+

Stupidly long name and fairly pricey, but something this beautiful is worth every syllable... and every cent.

In fact, this phone was too good for me. I wasn't stylish enough to hang around with the Edge+.

(What's really annoying is it works amazingly too)

Finally, how about something to wear?...

Introducing the Fitbit Surge

Just in time for Christmas, Fitbit's flagship device is now available in blue and tangerine, not just black.

The Surge is exactly what it claims to be; a fitness super watch. A self-sufficient, stand alone device that will track your workout completely independently of your phone or computer.

While the Surge is not expensive compared to other smart watches, the slightly less functional Fitbit Charge and Charge HR models are even more economical, and also come in a new range of colours.


So that's something to get Santa's little helpers thinking anyway. But if you're still waiting for just the perfect pressie idea, I'll be back with more gadgety gift suggestions next week.
