Your weekly tech guide to the coolest gadgets and accessories
Amazon Echo Show 10
The design language borders on quirky – a tab mounted on a smart speaker, but it’s super functional. Colours are vivid on the large 10.1-inch display (1280 x 800 pixels), we also approve of the adaptive brightness feature. With two 1-inch, front-firing tweeters and a 3-inch woofer, the Echo Show 10 delivers incredible audio and can double up as a party accessory. Aside from Alexa’s improved skills and growing intelligence, the Echo Show’s coolest trick is how it keeps up with you with AI- controlled swivel movements up to 350 degrees.

This display is backed by 6000 mAh battery that Samsung claims can deliver 25 hours of video playback. The F22 is kitted with a 13MP Selfie cam and a rear quad cam that’s driven by a 48MP primary lens.

Huawei Band 6
The major trade-off with an activity tracker (vs. a smartwatch) is the display size. Not with Huawei’s new wearable.

Thanks to Huawei’s new smart power-saving algorithm, the Band 6 supports All Day SpO2 monitoring to keep a constant tab on your oxygen saturation levels. The band also provides continuous, real-time, and accurate heart rate, sleep and stress monitoring. And then there’s the 14-day battery life with fast charging – a five minute charge gives you two days of battery life.
