Samsung Galaxy Note 4

If your guy can’t choose between a phone and a tablet, he should try the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Asus ZenWatch

This gadget is a necessity for any man whose secretly dreamed of being James Bond. He can connect it to his smart phone, as long as it’s running Android 4.3 or higher. What can it do? Well, it lets him keep fit by tracking how many steps he’s taken during the day, how many calories he’s burned, and his heart rate. In addition to this, it lets him manage his time with the What’s Next function and the Do It Later task manager.

Chromecast Dongle

Apple Watch
Our most personal device yet. That’s what Apple like to say about their latest launch Apple Watch. The rumors of a smart watch from Apple have been doing the rounds since neanderthals stepped foot on earth or the dinosaurs, I’m not sure. Apple finally revealed Apple Watch in Cupertino on September to much appreciation and applause. The watch features a digital crown which manages the magnifying function on such a small screen. The crown on the Apple Watch can be used to zoom into apps by rotating or you can scroll seamlessly with it. The crown acts as a button as well and pressing it brings the device back to homescreen.

Apple has a created a tailor made OS for the Apple Smart Watch. The watch features a retina display polished with sapphire crystal which is the second hardest substance after diamond. The watch brings you every information on your wrist. You can glimpse the weather, next meeting in the calendar or your current location. It brings you all the notifications of mails, messages, calls instantly to your wrist. Even, the traffic conditions are a touch away. Siri is closer than ever, you can just raise your wrist and say, “hey, siri” and speak your query. Siri can dictate your messages, give navigation directions and a whole lot more. The Apple Watch also features a heart rate sensor and measures your daily physical activities. You can set your targets for activities and it will reward you when you achieve them.

The device taps you on your wrist when you receive a notification. You can also use this feature to share your heartbeat with someone, they’ll feel your heartbeat on their wrist. Apple has kept the charging very simple yet innovative. You simply need to hold the sealed connector near the back of the watch and it snaps onto it with the magnet in the connector. The watch comes in two sizes and three editions – Watch, Watch Sport, Watch Edition( polished with 24K Gold). Winter is Coming, so is The Apple Watch.

iPhone 6 Plus – Because Bigger is Better
Bigger and Better was Apple’s motto in launching not one but two iPhones. The iPhone 6 Plus is the bigger of the two siblings. The iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5 inch 1920X1080 screen which holds 401 pixels in every inch. In short, it’s phablet-sized iPhone 6. It has the same A8 chip and M8 motion co-processor that ignites iPhone 6. Just Like always, for iPhones, speed is all that matters. That’s why iPhone 6 Plus features superfast download speeds over LTE bands (even faster than iPhone 5S) and this model supports more LTE bands (up to 20) than any other smartphone in the world. Besides, the WIFI gives 3X more speed than the existing phones in the market. Interestingly, this model features LTE/VOLTE and WIFI calling which helps in calling from the areas where you don’t get good network signals.

The processor has a 64-bit architecture same as desktops and laptops. This is useful in playing high end graphics games and watching HD videos for longer time. The iPhone 6 Plus can play 80 hours of non-stop party music or run 14 hours of movies in HD before its battery runs out. It can last half a day of continuous browsing on WIFI/LTE/3G. This 7.1 mm thin device has a long battery life that gives you 16 days of standby time.

The camera of the iPhone 6 Plus comes with features like focus pixels for a faster focus and other features like continuous autofocus and enhanced noise-reduction. The M8 motion processor monitors data from compass, barometer, gyrometer and accelerometer. The sensors do not just measure steps and distance but even the changes in elevation.

The touch ID puts security at your fingertips, quite literally. Touch ID can read multiple fingerprints. It also helps in payments through Apple Pay. Just hold your phone near the contactless reader with your finger on Touch ID button and, voila! You can use it to pay for boarding pass, bus tickets, coupons and many more. The best part is that the payments made through Apple Pay are secure and private as neither Apple servers or merchants receive the information of your card or even the card holder. The iPhone 6 Plus jams along with the new iOS 8 with health and fitness apps that communicate information straight with your doctor. The iPhone 6 Plus comes in 16,32 and 128 GB with the base version selling for 299$ from September 19. Checkout an Infographic quick facts about iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch Here.

The biggest add-on comes in the way of the new A8 chip and the enhanced M8 motion processor that tracks your activities along with an all new barometer. This new processor has made it 50% faster than the original iPhone and has 84% faster graphic processing. The camera hasn’t changed in terms of megapixels as it still has the 8 MP camera but with a larger pixel size of 1.5 micron and a f/2.2 aperture making heads turn. The camera records 1080p videos at 60 fps and 720p videos at a whopping 240 fps. All this addition does not burn the battery as the iPhone 6 can play 50 hours of music or 11 hours of watching HD video or browsing on WIFI. That’s not all it also sports a 250 hours battery standby. The Touch ID is still there and improved with 360° orientation so, you can unlock your phone whether you’re in landscape or portrait mode. You can also purchase directly from iTunes, iBooks and App Store with third party apps integration now possible into Touch ID. The other big feature in the iPhone 6 is ‘Apple Pay’. Apple pay uses ‘NFC technology’ to make payments with a single touch. With Apple Pay, payments will be possible at 220,000 locations and more are going to add up in future.
