For the luxury lover, there’s nothing quite like acquiring the latest cutting-edge tech gadget to have a play with, whether it’s designed to entertain you, give you the upper hand over the masses, or simply make life that little bit easier.

With the tech industry constantly evolving, barely a day goes by that we don’t hear whispers of a new and exciting launch that’s on its way to market, and in 2023, we’ve already seen some exciting new releases that have shot to the very top of gadget lovers’ wish lists around the world.

From smart home devices to the latest and greatest camera and VR equipment, these are five of the most thrilling new gadgets coming your way this year, so if you’re in the mood for a shopping spree, no expense spared, then look no further.

Apple Glasses

It’s hardly surprising to see an Apple product topping the list, but the brand new Apple Glasses might just be the brand’s most exciting launch yet. Offering users a fully immersive augmented reality (AR) experience, they’re expected to hit shelves imminently, and no doubt fans of this much-loved tech brand will be queuing up to get their hands on one of the first pairs.

It’s thought that the glasses will sync with iPhones to bring data from emails, as well as using applications like the PDF scanner for IOS app, to project scanned documents directly into your field of vision. Not only that, but they will automatically adjust to suit each individual user’s eyesight requirements to eliminate the need for additional prescription lenses.

What else they’ll do remains to be seen, but we have no doubt it’ll be something pretty special – although with whisperings that the launch date may be delayed until 2026 or even 2027, you’ll have to cross your fingers if you were hoping to land yourself a pair this year.

Amazon Astro (updated version)

Once upon a time, the idea of robots seemed like little more than a distant dream, but over recent years, they’ve become very much a reality. First, there were cleaning robots for the home, and now, the latest iteration of the Amazon Astro, which originally launched in 2021, is stepping things up a notch.

Serving as your own personal assistant, it’s equipped with a camera and microphone and is able to recognise and respond to voice commands. Designed to be used in the home, the idea is that it will help busy professionals and homeowners to live a more efficient lifestyle, saving time and hassle and streamlining your day in a whole new way.

In the market for a new smartphone? The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is where it’s at for 2023. This impressive folding smartphone is a far cry from the original flip phones we knew and loved back in the early 00s, and is the latest and greatest iteration of the original Z Fold, which launched back in 2019.

It’s expected to feature an improved display and a Snapdragon 8 Gen chipset – which, in layman’s terms, will make it one of the best-powered android phones yet. Add to that a rumoured triple-lens rear camera and a 50MP main sensor and it promises to elevate your photography game to lofty new heights.

Designed to capture spectacular aerial footage designed to rival even that of the most expensive drones on the market, it’s small enough to pop into your pocket for maximum portability. It’s a long way from the giant drones of the early days, and will make packing them with you for holidays abroad easier than ever before.
