Samsung Galaxy Note 10+
This year, Samsung’s premium Note line
includes two devices including a slightly
smaller (6.3-inch) Note 10 and the bigger
and brighter Note 10+, that is likely to
garner more attention. The device is a
hardware beast with a brilliant 6.8-inch
dynamic display that crams almost 500
pixels per inch (PPI). The triple rear cam
is augmented by a TOF 3D lens, while the
Note’s trademark S-Pen comes with a whole
new bag of tricks.

Google Nest Hub
This makes the strongest case for a
smart display yet. We dig the design
language, reminiscent of the Google
Home smart speaker and the 7-inch
adaptive display. The Nest Hub
connects with all your smart home
devices – like lights and cameras,
with intuitive controls. It’s easy to
manage multiple devices. But it’s
the integration with Google’s wide
breadth of Apps – Google Photos is
our favourite, that makes this speaker
a compelling proposition.

Apple Watch 5
Last year’s Apple Watch 4 was probably
the biggest upgrade of Apple’s popular
smartwatch. An ‘always-on’ display is the
biggest change in this year’s Apple Watch
5. It’s not just glancing at your watch for the
time, but it’s handy to have your metrics
available during workouts too. Apple’s new
Watch OS 6 brings a host of improvements,
including new watch faces and the handy
ECG feature that is now active for the Indian
market.

Lenovo’s Legion Y740
It is made for serious gamers and yet not short
on style, so it won’t look out of place at a client
meeting. It’s crafted with precisely machined
aluminium anodised in a sophisticated
Iron Grey colour with narrow borders. The
fully customisable RGB lighting behind
the keyboard is a cool touch, but it’s the
formidable hardware that is its calling card –
it’s kitted with a 9th Gen IntelCore i7 laptop
processor and powered by an NVIDIA GeForce
RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU.
