This year's must-have technology for holidays
The Bluesmart suitcase
With the holidays approaching, you may be wondering which tech will make your holiday the best yet. This article will review the best holiday technology and give advice on how to use it to make your holiday one to remember.
First up is the most high-tech suitcase yet: the Bluesmart suitcase. This clever contraption will make sure you never lose your luggage again with its GPS that you can use on your phone. But if your phone runs out of batteries, what do you do? Use the suitcase’s built-in iPhone charger! It will charge your smartphone up to six times. Also, it can be moved with a remote control mobile app which you can download and connect, meaning you won’t have to haul it about everywhere! There’s also a built-in weight detection system which tells you when you pack too much, so you don’t get stopped at the airport. The final awesome feature of this incredible suitcase is that it has a digital lock that will keep our thieves. If you find that suitcase to be too expensive, you could always just buy a digital lock for as little as £40.
Phone chargers are doubtless one of the most essential items to pack for a holiday. If you’re stuck in a camper van or a tent, you’ll need something besides the Bluesmart charger mentioned previously to keep your phone going. There are two mobile chargers great for holidays without plug sockets. First, the Zendure A2 Powerbank. This 6700mAh (ampere hour) charger holds its charge incredibly well. It can charge your phone up two to three times, before it needs to be charged so it can do some more charging! It’ll set you back £30 - £40. If you use your phone lots on holiday, however, this may not hold enough charge. If that’s the case, you should invest in the Aukey Solar Power Bank. Costs ranging between £15-£20, it could be the charger you always use, even at home, because after paying for it once, it’s free to use, so no more huge electricity bills!
Paying for roaming data for everyone’s devices can be a costly matter. So can paying for expensive WiFi from hotels or campsites. That’s why you should buy a TP-LINK. This classy device can share mobile data across up to ten devices, meaning you only pay once. However, only invest in it if you’re going to use it, because it costs roughly £80.
The last two gadgets are for fans of walking and can be used on any long hike. First up, the Fitbit. It keeps track of, among other things, how far you’ve walked and how many steps you’ve done. Users can set a daily goal, record how many calories have been burned and even measure how deeply and how long they have slept. It costs £110-£150. The newest ones can give you guided breathing sessions, monitor your heart-rate and they even have a GPS tracker system.
This last one might not be a gadget, but it’s really cool and is very good for walkers who regularly pause on their walks. The SitPack is a cone-shaped stick that can be stuck into the ground and sat on. It can be folded into a portable shape, and it is good for posture.
So there’s a list of all the best gadgets that are holiday must-haves for tech-loves. Have a happy holiday!
