Gadgets have been among the most sought after products of 2021, and this is due to the fact that many people have spent more time at home. They are designed to make office activities easier - the one moved home - or to provide fun after

The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the development of the technology by seven years, said the president of the US giant Verizon, Hans Vestberg, at the beginning of the year. Since the beginning of 2021, 8K TVs, virtual and augmented reality, healthcare devices and drones have been among the main attractions, at least at the profile fair in Las Vegas, CES 2021.

Samsung came out ahead with "Bot Handy", a robot still in development, capable of recognizing and lifting objects of different sizes, setting the table or pouring wine into glasses. Samsung Bot Handy relies on artificial intelligence to identify the composition of objects, thus using a suitable level of force to grab and move objects in the house, helping to clean or sort dirty dishes.

Sony has introduced a high-performance drone, dubbed Airpeak, and equipped with Alpha mirrorless cameras, which are among the most popular in the industry. According to the manufacturer, it is the lightest drone on the market capable of carrying high-resolution video cameras.

Gadgets with all sorts of useful functions have not stopped appearing, or being improved, during the year 2021, reports the specialized publication Techcrunch. In fact, they are also good for gifts, because each of them does not exceed the amount of $ 100.

Airtag

It is an exclusive Apple product, very helpful for the forgotten. The size of a penny, the device can be kept in a bag, hung on keys or fixed to an object that is very likely to be lost. It can then be located using another Apple device. It even emits alert sounds when called, to make detection easier. The battery lasts a long time, and when it runs out it's easy to replace. The main disadvantage, however, is that it only works in connection with other Apple devices, and the price is neither peppered nor cheap: one piece is $ 30, and for four, the price is $ 99.

Wireless headphones

Certainly everyone agrees that wireless headphones will not appear in 2021, and even more so Apple did not invent the wheel. However, starting from Airpods, the competition has released dozens, maybe even hundreds of other models based on the same principle, which connects via bluetooth to the phone, for listening to music and phone calls. As prices are not prohibitive and demand has been high, sales have grown exponentially. The only problem is the battery, because in many models the autonomy is not more than 4-5 hours.

Colored smart bulbs

Likewise, if the technology was first promoted by Philips, a lot of other manufacturers quickly switched to producing this gadget, such as Xiaomi or a number of other companies, smaller or larger, in Asia. In essence, they are economical LED bulbs, which can change their color and shades depending on the light or according to the user's desire, which can turn them on or off at will. The basic models work on the basis of an infrared remote control, and the superior ones have a wireless network card, through which they join the other "smart" devices in the house. They have all kinds of funny functions, control from the smartphone, or they can turn into a light organ, to the rhythm of the music. They are not expensive either, the prices varying from a few tens of lei to hundreds.

Kindle

Reading has also returned to the pandemic, and the Amazon Kindle, which reinvented reading on an electronic device such as a tablet, but which uses a screen that mimics paper, is at the top. Prices start at about $ 75 for an older model and go up to $ 140 for the average Paperwhite model, or even $ 250 for this year's Kindle Oasis. If we add that in such a device can hold thousands of books and the battery lasts for weeks, it is perfect for lovers of reading.

Artiphon Orba

Artiphon Orba is a small $ 100 gadget with which you can compose music - well, at the amateur level, just for hobby - as if you had a synthesizer. You don't need any skill, just some rhythm, some inspiration ... and the drunk can run. Obviously, the device has the full range of connectivity and the songs obtained can then be transferred and processed on the computer ... It should be mentioned that this gadget is a proprietary product, produced by Artiphone.

"Firm" cables for charging

It's not a joke, but the demand for charging cables is growing, whether we are talking about those for android, micro-usb or USB-C. So are the iPhone specifics. More and more Chinese manufacturers have launched cables of different lengths - it is known that for all phones, the original ones do not exceed half a meter - but also of different capacities, with LEDs, with fast charge functions, bar and even "bundles". ”Of 3 in 1 cables, with three plugs that allow you to charge almost anything. One such manufacturer, according to Techcrunch, is Anker, which produces durable cables priced at $ 15-20 a piece. Of course, there are other Chinese cables that are close to these standards, and at a quarter of this price ...

Power Core Fusion

Remaining the same manufacturer, Anker, another gadget enjoys the attention of the public, a combination of charger and external battery. It has the shape of a slightly larger charger, and plugs in and charges any phone. In addition, it has a 6,000 milliampere battery, which can power the device when it is not plugged in. It also has smart charging: when plugged in connected to the phone, it first charges the phone until it is fully charged, and only after that does it start charging the internal battery. Price: a little peppery, $ 50.

Smart sticks

Whether we're talking about Chromecasts, Xiaomi sticks, Amazon's Firestick, or Roku - especially preferred by US users, or their Chinese replicas on profile sites, they all perform basically the same function: turn a TV with input Non-smart HDMI into a smart one, with Netflix, HBO GO, and other content applications. It also offers wireless communication with other devices in the house. The prices are also good, around 30-40 dollars.

Nest HUB

It's a kind of tablet connected to Google, which reacts to the voice and gives, in audio, the answers to the questions you ask through the already famous phrase Ok Google. It can also be used to watch videos on YouTube listening to music or watching productions on streaming networks, it warns the weather and the news of the day. Google sells it for between $ 60 and $ 100.

Portable speakers

Smaller in size and more powerful, these devices stream music from your phone via bluetooth. Their fidelity is growing despite their small size, as well as their autonomy, and some have the secondary function of an external battery and can charge, for example, the phone. Depending on the manufacturer, their price ranges from a few tens of thousands to hundreds or even thousands. However, it enjoys great demand, especially among the young generation, who are in constant mobility, especially in music.

Backbone

The device made by the company of the same name turns an Iphone into a mini-game console, with all the physical buttons arranged on both sides. You can play all kinds of games, from shooters to car racing or strategy games.

But the price is just $ 100, but what does it matter when the iPhone goes over $ 2,000.
