Summer is finally here (just about)!
And the tech world has provided a whole smorgasbord of treats for us to feast on.
From portable speakers and action cams to must-have headphones and boundary-pushing electric bikes, there are picks here for every gadget fan, and non-tech geeks too!
Check out our selection below.
Cowboy 4
This aluminium electric ride is loaded with innovative features. It instantly unlocks when your phone’s nearby, while an app delivers speed, distance and battery level updates.
On top of that, it has GPS tracking, will charge your phone and keeps going for 43.5 miles.
Marshall Emberton II
Still rocking that miniaturised guitar amp design, the Emberton II now boasts longer battery life, a dedicated app and a stack mode for multi-speaker listening.
And if its predecessor is anything to go by, it’ll spit out sound that defies its dinky dimensions.
Buy for £149.99 (pre-order) from Marshall.
Beats Fit Pro
Want workout-ready AirPod rivals? These excellent in-ears offer noise-cancelling and spatial audio virtual surround sound. And whether you’re on the morning commute or trying to achieve your personal best, the flexible silicone stabiliser wings ensure they stay put.
Insta360 ONE RS cam with 4K
Insta360’s action camera is rugged and waterproof straight out of the box, complete with the same modular build as before. This time, however,
it ups the ante with a 4K lens, improved stabilisation, a bigger battery and a better chipset.
Buy for £279.99 from Insta360.
Moleskin Smart Writing Set
With some kind of note-based wizardry, this clever writing set injects smarts into the traditional notepad and pen by making digital copies of your pen strokes, transferring notes directly from page to screen or instantly via email.
Dyson Purify Humidify + Cool
With its ability to act as a fan, purify the air from gases, odours and other airborne particulates, as well as humidify the air by pumping UV-cleaned moisture into
it, Dyson’s device is your one-stop shop for most things air quality-related.
Sony WH-1000XM5
With a predecessor that boasts next-level noise-cancelling, excellent audio, adaptive sound control and conversational awareness, Sony’s latest on-ears have some big cups to fill. Luckily, they build on everything that made their forerunner so desirable.
Nextbase iQ
Whoever said that dashcams aren’t clever hasn’t met this 4K tri-cam system. It records in real time and boasts driver awareness to detect drowsy driving. It also has ADAS tech to flag vehicle or pedestrian dangers, SOS for assistance following an accident and more besides.
Buy for £349 (available autumn), from Nextbase.
OnePlus 10 Pro 5G
OnePlus has earned a bit of a reputation for creating phones that undercut the competition. With a high-end overcoat, a good-looking screen, fast charging, a super snapper and powerful internals, the 10 Pro ensures the company continues on this quest.
Pixel Watch
Now that Google’s techie timepiece has been given the official seal of approval, we can reveal that this clean and minimalist smartwatch has Fitbit-powered fitness features, runs on an improved version of the Wear 3.0 OS and will offer a cellular option.
Price and availability tba.
