Christmas 2023: Low-cost tech gift ideas, ranging from cameras to earphones. It’s the ideal time to buy gifts for your loved ones, with Christmas just over a week away.
We have you covered if you want to give your tech-savvy friends a gift this holiday season but are on a tight budget. These gift options, which range from wireless earbuds to Polaroid cameras, could make your holidays more cheerful.
CMF Power 65W GaN power supply
A 65W GaN charger with several connections was introduced earlier this year by CMF, a sub-brand of Nothing, allowing you to charge your smartphone, laptop, and headphones simultaneously.
The 150-gram lightweight charger includes three ports—two USB-C and one USB-A—and can help you avoid the inconvenience of carrying separate charges for all of your tech devices. The CMF Power 65W GaN charger (review) is around the same size as a standard phone charger.
Purchasing a versatile charger may seem foolish at first, but it is quite helpful for people who don’t want to carry several charges for each product. For Rs 2,699, you can purchase it from Flipkart.
The Oppo Enco Air3 Pro
Wireless earbuds have become significantly less expensive in recent years, so if you know someone who is still dependent on wires, you might be able to help them break free this Christmas by giving them the earphones.
According to Oppo, the Enco Air3 Pro are the only earphones ever made with a bamboo diaphragm, which enhances the audio quality. Our review confirmed this.
In addition to having great sound quality, these earbuds have a battery life of up to 30 hours and can reduce background noise by 49dB, which is more than sufficient for someone who wants to play games or listen to music while on the go. Flipkart is where you can get them for Rs 4,899.
Photographic Instax Mini 12
Would you like to capture a moment with your loved ones or friends to save your Christmas memories? For individuals on a tight budget, Fujifilm’s Instax Mini 12 could be a suitable option for a Polaroid camera.
The “Automatic Exposure” option that comes with the camera helps shoot good pictures in a variety of lighting circumstances by, well, automatically detecting the amount of light when the shutter is pressed.
With this Polaroid camera, pictures can be printed in five seconds and fully viewable in ninety seconds. It costs Rs 6,499 and is currently on sale.
Galaxy Watch 4 from Samsung
Considering purchasing a smartwatch for the upcoming holidays? One of the greatest Android smartwatches on a budget is Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4. Even though it’s not the newest, the Galaxy Watch 4 is still quite durable and provides great value for the money.
The watch provides precise activity tracking and sleep monitoring, and it looks well with any attire. Its 16GB of internal memory ought to be more than sufficient if you want to utilize programs like Gmail and WhatsApp.
It is available for Rs 9,499 to buy. The Galaxy Watch 4 Classic is also available for less than Rs 10,000 on Flipkart. The only difference between it and the standard model is that it has an actual rotating bezel.
Redmi Note 12 5G
A phone that can perform on nearly all fronts and costs less than Rs 20,000 is the Redmi Note 12 5G (review), which is a clear suggestion.
The phone’s AMOLED screen provides good readability in direct sunlight, and it runs well even with several apps open in the background thanks to its Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 chipset.
With reasonable settings, it can run games like BGMI and Genshin Impact with ease. It also has a solid triple-camera configuration that produces good daylight images.
For Rs 15,499, you may get the 4GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, but if you have a little extra money, we suggest the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant.
