2016 is Ending, Have You Pampered Yourself With a Well-Deserved Gift?

Life isn’t easy for most of us, as we try and keep up with the pace of the world. If the Internet is to be believed, 2016 has been one of the worst years of our lifetimes. But it’s time to stop carrying the burden of the world on your shoulders. All those efforts you put in to make life worth living - they need to be rewarded. The year is ending, and if you haven’t pampered yourself to a technological wonder that can bring you some joy that you deserve, now is the time.

Here are some interesting options that you could pick up this upcoming holiday season.

1) Apple TV 4th Gen
Considering buying a smart TV? Perhaps you'd be better off getting a 'regular' TV and instead use the extra money to buy the Apple TV 4th generation. It’s a small box that connects to any flat TV using HDMI. It runs tvOS, which is Apple’s TV-oriented operating system and is easy to use with the bundled remote that comes with a touchpad. The remote also accepts voice input and acts as a motion controller when you’re playing games. Many popular iPhone apps and games have an Apple TV counterpart as well.

Apart from games, the Apple TV 4th generation supports most popular video streaming service like YouTube, Hotstar, Netflix, Spuul, Eros Now etc. It can also pair with Bluetooth headphones so you can use it without disturbing other people in the room. At Rs. 13,500, it’s one of the most reasonably-priced Apple products you can find. What more you can ask for?!

2) Huawei Watch
You may think of a smartwatch as a redundant accessory that does the same thing as your phone. But think of the number of times you check your phone in a day - estimates suggest most of us do it about 100 times. A smartwatch is a second screen that’s easier to glance, rather than taking the phone out of your pocket each time.

You can dismiss useless notifications and they clear off the phone too. The Huawei Watch is an Android Wear smartwatch that does all this and more, for a price tag of Rs. 22,999. For one, it looks pretty classy and will pass off as a regular timepiece at first glance. Other than checking notifications, you can use your voice to reply to WhatsApp or other instant messages and ask Google for answers to questions like you would on your computer. You can even take phone calls right on your wrist, or even track your fitness-related activities.

Now that’s a good purchase for the holiday season, don’t you think?

3) Bose SoundTouch 20 Series 3 Bluetooth Speakers
Having a big set of speakers may be nice, but they also occupy a lot of space in the house. Check out the Bose SoundTouch 20 Series 3 - a wireless desk speaker. One of the things Bose is known for, is the ability to deliver loud, fantastic output from speakers that don’t appear to be very big. The SoundTouch 20 Series 3 has fantastic quality that should satisfy most ears. It is loud enough to entertain a gathering of people or for some private listening next to your bed. It connects to your Wi-Fi to directly play songs from Spotify or Pandora, or pair with a smartphone using Bluetooth. Multiple units of this model can also be paired to play the same music across different rooms.

At roughly Rs. 33,600, it isn’t the most affordable portable speaker to buy, but hey, quality does come at a price, doesn’t it?

4) Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2
If you’re living in India, there’s a good chance you’ve come across the alarming pollution levels many cities are experiencing. Now we agree to the notion that air purifiers aren’t the solution to cleaner air - strong government, corporate, and individual action to reduce pollution is. But until that happens, it may be ideal to take precautions to avoid breathing impurities, at least when we’re at home.

The Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2 is an elegant-looking purifier that comes with an accompanying app, that shows you the real-time quality of air around. It covers a room that's up to 400 square feet in size, and can restore air quality back to normal in as fast as 10 minutes, depending upon a variety of factors. Using the app, you can schedule when it should turn on and off, depending upon the times you’re generally at home. At Rs. 9,900, it’s not very expensive either, but may require a change of filter every few months, depending upon the ambient pollution around you.

5) OPPO F1s
Holidays means spending quality time with your friends and family. That also means taking pictures of those sweet memories. This is why we ask you to check the OPPO F1s. Dubbed the ‘Selfie Expert’, this phone takes fantastic selfies with its 16-megapixel front-facing camera sensor. Thanks to a large 1/3.1-inch image sensor, the camera on the OPPO F1s is able to capture more light, which takes selfies well even in low-lighting conditions. The built-in Beautify 4.0 enhances the quality of selfies captured. Next, there’s also a selfie panorama mode, letting you take wide-angle selfies without the need of a selfie-stick.

Apart from the camera abilities, the OPPO F1s is also an able performer; with a 64-bit octa-core chip and 4GB of RAM. There’s also ample 64GB of storage, so you can click away without worrying about a ‘low on storage’ error message. At Rs. 18,990, the OPPO F1s may be priced reasonably, and it looks way more expensive with the metal unibody construction.
