Fitbit Versa 3
When it comes to affordable smartwatches with plenty of fitness options, it doesn't get much better than the Fitbit Versa 3. The Fitbit Versa 3 underwent a considerable redesign over its predecessor, the Fitbit Versa 2, such as the removal of physical buttons in place for indented sensors as Fitbit attempts to deliver an easier-to-use smartwatch. The Fitbit Versa 3 features a 40mm AMOLED display, which is impressive for a smartwatch at this price point. The user experience itself on the Fitbit Versa 3 is fast and snappy, with most of the only noted frustrations with the watch being the removal of the physical buttons and Fitbit's notorious paywall, which restricts users from accessing certain health features without a subscription. In better news, many retailers of the Fitbit Versa 3 offer free subscriptions alongside the watch as a bundle. The Fitbit Versa 3 is bound to make someone’s day this Christmas.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is a lightweight, downsized version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 and offers a simple 8.7-inch design with medium black bezels. The display features a high-definition LCD panel which is fine for media consumption, alongside a full HD camera to capture both photos and video at 30fps. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite does come with 4GB of RAM alongside either 32 or 64GB of storage, which is minimal in today's world of tech; however, thanks to the MicroSD expansion slot on the side of the device, its onboard storage can be expanded to a whole 1TB. All in all, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite offers everything you could ask for from a budget tablet and more, making it a perfect stocking filler this Christmas.
Sony LinkBuds WF-L900
With the Sony LinkBuds, you’re always connected with your everyday life. The truly unique design ethic of the Sony LinkBuds WF-L900 allows its users to comfortably wear them whilst still being able to hear sounds around them transparently, feeling nothing on the ear. The Sony LinkBuds WF-L900 are manufactured using a newly developed ring-type driver unit which is what makes the audio transparency possible. Whilst the Sony LinkBuds WF-L900s does have transparency at the forefront of their design, they’re no slouch when it’s time to turn up the heat. The 12mm driver offers rich, well-balanced audio to keep you in tune with music no matter where you are. No matter who it’s for, the Sony LinkBuds WF-L900 is a solid stocking filler to chuck in this year.
Ring Doorbell 3
The Ring Doorbell 3 is the perfect home security device to pack into your stocking this year, and regardless of what the name suggests, it offers far more functionality than just being a doorbell. The Ring doorbell 3 gives users the ability to monitor, hear and speak to any visitors on their property from any location worldwide through the use of dual-band 5GHz WIFI connectivity. The Ring Doorbell 3 streams its video from a 1080p two-way talk camera which also features an advanced motion detector to notify users of motion activity on their property for up to 15ft. Couple this with night vision capability and Amazon Alexa compatibility, and you’ve got the ultimate parent gift.
Belkin 3 in 1 Magsafe Charger
Belkin’s 3-in-1 Magsafe Charger is a convenient solution to delivering fast charging speeds to all your Apple devices at once – whether that be your AirPods, Apple Watch or iPhone. The Belkin 3-in-1 Magsafe Charger offers the fastest possible wireless charging speed of 15W, which is perfect for not only charging your phone overnight, for instance, but also for those quick power boosts while getting ready in the morning or between meetings. With the Belkin 3-in-1 Magsafe Charger
You can charge all your Apple gear at once with a large Magsafe stand for iPhone, a smaller magnetic charging module for Apple Watch and a pad to wirelessly charge AirPods. As far as chargers go, this is the only charger anyone should have in their life, and I’m certainly adding it to my stocking filler list alongside a couple of other picks from our other blogs.
Well, on that note, this marks an end to not only our stocking filler trilogy but also C247’s blogs for 2022 and what a year it’s been. We’ve covered a whole range of topics from best picks, product reviews, tech leaks and much more. Next year will bring a lot of new and exciting topics; however, we want to hear more of what you’d like to see, so be sure to let us know!
