While 2016 may have been a tragic year for so many reasons, in the gadget world it came out pretty strong. We had product launches and revitalisations across the board from tablets, to phones to wearables. Here are our top five from the past 12 months.
This one actually revolutionised TV for us. Condensing our viewing preferences into app form, plus making it easier for whatever is on our phones to be beamed on to our main screen, we love the ease this device brings. Only one complaint here: we keep losing the tiny sleek black remote!
Samsung Galaxy Samsung TabPro S
To be honest we're not huge tablet users, but when this one came our way everything changed. Most tablet keyboards come separately and cost extra. This one comes bundled in, the keyboard doubling as a screen cover and we loved it. A perfect tab/laptop hybrid.
Sony BRAVIA 4K HDR
A TV that brought us careering into the modern viewing quality age. Quite content with a late 2000s flat screen, which was surprisingly chunky in comparison, this new television was as beautiful to look at off as it was on. That being said, the picture quality was astounding and made us question where companies go to from here to improve.
iPhone 7
It came in for a bit of flack before it was released just because it didn't possess an earphone jack, yet as with all iPhones, this one flew off the shelf anyway. With an updated, insanely good camera, better graphics and a clicky sensation when you set timers, we love this latest edition. Oh, and being waterproof is a bonus too!
While this app may not be exclusive to 2016, this was the year we hopped on board and it has revolutionised the way we get about town. Having recently updated its design, Uber is now even easier and communicative with its customer feedback, peerless maps and up front cost of journeys making it possibly the city's strongest transport solution.
