In a flash, we are at the tail end of 2023. Next month is Christmas, and the month after next is 2024! Chase away your pre-holiday season blues by getting some of these gadgets during the 11.11 sale. It doesn’t matter to be single, when you can treat yourself to whatever you like!
Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with MagSafe 15W
S$198 (usual price S$221)
Get it at Lazada and Shopee
This continues to be my favourite charging stand. This is especially so if you have Apple’s holy trinity of iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods. It is able to charge these three devices all at the same time with MagSafe for iPhone, Apple Watch charging dock and a charging pad for AirPods. Not to mention, it will be a great Christmas gift for the Apple fan you are.
Xiaomi 13T Pro
S$899 (usual price S$949)
Get it at Lazada and Shopee
Not an Apple fan? No worries. You can take a look at the Xiaomi 13T Pro. Despite its rather humble pricing, this 6.67-inch Android smartphone packs a punch with a 12-megapixel (MP) ultra-wide-angle camera, a 50MP wide-angle camera and a 50MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom. Furthermore, it is said to be using Leica lens for superior picture quality.
Apple Watch Ultra 2
S$1,139.05 (usual price S$1,199)
Get it at Lazada and Shopee
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is my personal wish list for this Christmas. I mean, I am still stuck at Series 7 and I have been living with gadget envy when I see some of my peers wearing it. While the price might seem expensive, it is actually value for money with the casing made of aerospace-grade titanium and a new S9 processor inside. Additionally, it is water resistant down to 100m, tested to US military standard of MIL-STD 810H and rated at IP6X dust resistance. Truth be told, I just want to feel rugged and Ultra 2!
