Samsung Galaxy S23

With each new year comes yet another round of new and innovative must-have smartphones, each with more cutting-edge features than the last. Next up, it’s the Samsung Galaxy S23, which will also come in Plus and Ultra varieties and is set to become the must-have tech gadget of the year.

Featuring several hardware improvements and a 200MP main camera, plus a 40 MP front-facing selfie camera, it’s the perfect pick for capturing high-quality holiday snaps. Additionally, thanks to its high-resolution screen and faster charging, it’s also great for gaming, whether for visiting a live casino in Ireland, Italy or Iceland, or playing your favourite mobile video games, without dramatically draining your battery.

DJI Avata

Drones have been enjoying immense popularity over recent years, and in 2023, first-person view drones are really set to take off. By putting on a headset, you can see exactly what your drone can do as you fly it, giving you a unique and high-level experience that wasn’t possible previously. They are the closest you can get to flying high in the sky like a bird.

The Avata is the latest in a long line of luxurious launches from DJI, and is much more durable than its predecessors, which means it’s more likely to survive any accidental crashes. Piloted by a handheld joystick and equipped with a host of modern features designed to up-level the experience, if you’re looking for a thrilling piece of kit to have fun with in 2023, then this is it.
