Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

If you need a powerful smartphone that has almost everything you need for work and play, the Samsung S23 Ultra is your best bet. This phone features a photographic upgrade from its predecessor, boasting a 200MP sensor that can shoot 8K video. On top of that, it has an expert RAW mode that can shoot like a real camera--perfect for photographers and photography enthusiasts!

It also has incredible features that can make you even more productive at work. It comes with a built-in stylus that makes note-taking easier than ever. Lastly, it comes with a desktop mode that lets you connect the phone to any monitor or big-screen TV. So, if ever you accidentally leave your computer behind, you can still deliver that presentation you’ve been working on. No doubt it’s one of the must-have gadgets this 2023!

Pre-order your Samsung Galaxy Ultra 23 for only S$590 for the 256 GB variant, S$700 for the 512GB version, and S$860 for the 1TB model at M1 online store. 

DJI Mini 2 SE

Do you want to add a magical touch to your video content? No, I’m not talking about a new video editing app or a camera trick. This magic is way simpler than those--all you need is the DJI Mini 2 SE drone camera! Unlike other drones that are a bit difficult to use, this camera is made for beginners. It weighs less than 250 grams, which means you don’t have to register this device before you fly it. 

Even if it's lightweight, it’s packed with powerful features that can get you the shot you need. It has an HD camera that can record 2.7k videos and capture 12MP images. It is also stabilised by a 3-axis gimbal, which minimises any distortion. This drone also comes with 5 Quickshots, allowing you to create high-quality videos with just a push of a button. The best part? It has an automatic return-to-home feature, so you don’t have to worry about losing it. 

Take the coolest shots with the  DJI Mini 2 SE drone camera for only S$585 available at DJI online store. 

Marshall Middleton

Of course, speakers are one of the must-have gadgets to make your life easier. I love blasting my favourite tunes at home, and sometimes, I find portable speakers unable to produce high-quality audio at loud volumes. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one experiencing this. If you are too, Marshall Middleton is the answer we’ve all been waiting for. Don’t be fooled by its size, it may be as big as other portable speakers but it can produce an excellent sound that can even impress audiophiles. 

But even though it looks compact, it weighs 1.8 kg, which I think is pretty heavy for a portable speaker. Nevertheless, it still delivers impressive sound performance that no mini speaker can compete with. 

The Marshall Middle is available at the Marshall online store for only S$478. 

Dell XPS 13

Gone are the days when we need to bring an extra bag just for our laptop. Over the past few years, the rise of ultraportable laptops has begun. However, most of them still lack the necessary features most people need from a portable computer. With Dell XPS 13, you’re not short on powerful features even if it only weighs 1.17kg.

Yes, you’ve read that right. This lightweight laptop is powered by Intel and comes in two variations: the Intel i5 version and Intel i7 version. Both can deliver great performance--thanks to its new "Alder Lake'' CPUs. On top of that, you can choose from 3 different RAMS: 8GB, 16GB, and 32 GB. In other words, you can decide how fast you want your computer to be depending on what programs you want to use. Oh, did I mention that it has up to 1TB of SSD storage too? 

The Dell XPS 13 is available at Dell online store starting at S$$1,599. 

Fujifilm X100V

With all the available point-and-shoot cameras that promise to deliver high-quality photos, it’s rare to see those that can actually do, like the Fujifilm X100V. It promises impressive imaging capabilities, and it delivers. This camera comes with a quad-core X-Processor 4, which is a powerful CPU that quickly smoothens your photos right as you take them. This technology also allows this camera to take ultra-sharp photos in low-light environments. 

The X100V also features enhanced face and eye detection. This improves the auto-focus performance of the camera, making it easy to take photos of people moving within your frame and faces who are facing sideways. It’s also packed with other features that can help you take photos of whatever your subject is. 

Preserve your precious moments with the Fujifilm X100V for only S$2,169 available at TK Photo and other retail stores nationwide. 

Beats Fit Pro True Wireless Earbuds

While this might not be a new gadget, the Beats Fit Pro remains one of the best earbuds in town. Recently, it added three new colours--coral pink, volt yellow, and tidal blue-- to its line, making these modern classic earbuds even more stylish. My favourite feature of the Beats Fit Pro is its listening modes. Unlike others that don’t give you a choice on how you hear your music, these earphones have two listening modes. 

The first mode is a fully adaptive Active Noise Cancelling, which uses real-time audio to identify unwanted external sound, optimising sound output. If you want to be more aware of your surroundings, the Transparency mode is for you. It uses an external microphone to pick up environmental and ambient sounds around you to mix in with your music. 

Get your Beats Fit Pro True Wireless Earbuds for only S$301.75 available at the Apple online store and other retailers nationwide. 

Xiaomi 13 Pro

Can’t decide whether you want a new camera or phone? Well, no need to choose anymore with the new Xiaomi 13 Pro. This latest addition to Xiaomi’s flagship line boasts a camera like no other. Powered by Leica, this smartphone sports a triple rear camera: a 50 MP Sony IMX989, a 3.2x optical zoom-capable 50Mp telephoto camera, and a 50 MP ultra-wide-angle shooter with a 115-degree field-of-view.

For selfies, you’ll get a 32 MP camera, which is pretty unimpressive compared to the rear cameras. But don’t worry; you can still capture beautiful photos, just not as stunning as those that are Leica-tuned. When it comes to performance, Xiaomi never disappoints. 

The Xiaomi 13 Pro is available in two colours, black and white, for only S$1,699 at Xiaomi’s Lazada store. 

Samsung M8 Smart Monitor 

If you’re looking for a screen that can handle both work and play, the Samsung M8 Smart Monitor is the one you need. This smart monitor has everything that a smart TV has: a WiFi connection and streaming apps in a real 4K HDR. 

The best part? You don’t need to hook it up to a PC to browse the web, edit a document, and work on different projects. This monitor has Microsoft 365 apps and can even be used to remote control your desktop. Oh, it also has a camera, so you can hop on any meetings with just a screen. 

The Samsung M8 Smart Monitor is available for only S$888 at Courts online store and other accredited Samsung retailers. 

HyperX Alloy Origins 60% Pink

Your workstation won’t be complete without a trustworthy keyboard. But with all the options available, which one’s the best for you? The answer: HyperX Alloy Origins. This mechanical keyboard may be stylish and cute but don’t underestimate its performance. 

It has a full aircraft-grade aluminium body, which makes it durable and reliable. Even though it’s not a full keyboard, its size is still perfect for typing and office-related tasks. It also boasts RGB backlit keys with radiant lighting effects, making your space as pimped and preppy as you want it to be. 

Level up your typing sessions with the HyperX Alloy Origins for only S$179 available at HyperX’s Shopee store. 

Fujifilm Instax Mini 12

Polaroids will never go out in style and Fujifilm has proven that over and over again. Now, the company has released its latest addition to its Instax line: the Fujifilm Instax Mini 12. Compared to its predecessor, the Instax Mini 12 can take brighter photos any time of the day. Its shutter speed, flash brightness and other settings automatically adjust depending on the lighting. 

On top of those, this new Instax camera can take close-up photos, perfect for distances of 30 to 50 cm. You can also use it for selfie photos, thanks to its selfie mirror. It also automatically adjusts the flash when you take a selfie, allowing you to get the right amount of light without overexposing your photo. 
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 is available in five colours (Pastel Blue, Clay White, Mint Green, Blossom Pink, and Lilac Purple) for only S$169 at the Fujifilm Lazada store.
