Samsung Galaxy S25 Series
Samsung’s 2025 playbook starts strong with the Galaxy S25 series. The headliner? The S25 Ultra, armed with a ridiculous 200 MP camera, an upgraded S Pen that promises to read your mind, and the kind of performance you’d expect from the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.
OnePlus 13 Series
Never settling for second place, OnePlus is coming in hot with the 13 series. The flagship OnePlus 13 pairs its Hasselblad-tuned cameras with a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, promising low-light shots that could make the moon jealous and the kind of gaming performance that might ruin your sleep schedule.
Nintendo Switch 2
The OG portable gaming king is getting a big update. Rumours are swirling about 4K visuals when docked, raytracing so sharp it might cut you, and backward compatibility so you don’t have to mourn your beloved Zelda save files. Add a potential OLED upgrade for handheld mode, and it’s clear: Nintendo is ready to remind the world that PlayStation and Xbox are for amateurs.
PlayStation Portable 2

Speaking of whom, Sony might finally be ready to say, “Remember us in portable gaming?” The PSP2 (or whatever they call it) could be the answer to Nintendo’s dominance. Unlike the PlayStation Portal, this one’s rumoured to run games natively, which means AAA titles in your pocket. If Sony nails this, the battle for portable supremacy is about to get very, very real.
Samsung AR Glasses

If sci-fi movies have taught us anything, it’s that we’re all destined to wear fancy tech glasses someday—and Samsung’s AR Glasses might just be the first pair you actually want to wear. Lightweight, stylish (finally), and packed with productivity tools and immersive gaming options, these glasses could be the tech upgrade your Zoom calls and lazy walks around the city never saw coming.
11th Generation iPad
Apple’s 11th-gen iPad isn’t just another shiny rectangle—it’s the kind of upgrade that makes you think, “Do I really need a laptop anymore?” With the rumoured M3 chip powering it, expect blazing-fast everything, from multitasking to gaming. Artists, binge-watchers, and even spreadsheet warriors will find plenty to love, especially if the new display tech is as good as some of the reports claim.
Pixel Watch 4
Google’s Pixel Watch 4 is shaping up to be more than just a wrist ornament. Imagine health tracking so advanced it could potentially replace half your doctor’s visits (we’re talking glucose monitoring and more). Pair that with a sleeker design and Pixel-level smarts, and the Apple Watch might actually have a serious competitor soon.
Amazon’s Upgraded Alexa and Echo Lineup
Alexa’s glow-up is here. The latest Echo devices come with smarter, faster AI that might know you better than you know yourself. Picture this: you walk into a room, and Alexa already has your playlist, lighting, and mood on lock. If you’ve been holding out on smart home tech, 2025 might be the year to give in.
Apple MacBook Pro (M5)
The MacBook Pro with the M5 chip is Apple showing off. Think laptop-level flexing that makes heavyweights like 8K video editing or full-scale 3D rendering look like child’s play. Add in a brighter Liquid Retina XDR display and even better battery life, and creatives everywhere are already scheming to justify the splurge.
Sony WH-1000XM6 Headphones

Sony’s WH-1000XM6 headphones are coming for the crown. With noise cancellation rumoured to be so good it might as well be magic, plus richer bass and longer battery life, these are the headphones for people who take their playlists (and their peace) seriously. Bonus: they’re rumoured to be lighter and comfier than ever. Your ears will thank you.
iPhone 17 Redesign

The iPhone 17 is the makeover Apple fans didn’t know they needed. Under-display Face ID? Check. Fresh camera modules? Check. The A18 chip promising the fastest, smoothest performance yet? Double check. If the leaks are true, this could be the most exciting iPhone since, well, the first one.
Apple AirTag (Second-Generation)

Apple’s tiny trackers are levelling up. The second-gen AirTag promises better range, pinpoint accuracy, and wireless charging. Lost keys? Misplaced bags? That one friend who never tells you where they are? AirTag’s got it all under control.
