GADGETGIZMO SPECIAL 8 best gadgets of 2015





Apple may have had the most talked-about product of the year in Apple Watch, but it was Microsoft that stole the top slot with its Surface Book

1 Surface Book

The Surface Book is equal parts WTF and pure future.This laptop builds on Microsoft's Surface and Surface Pro lineup -which saw its own legion of copycats this year, but packages it into a more traditional laptop shape. Until you realise the screen also detaches completely... and you're left stupefied. The Surface Book is a generation one device, so it has a few issues. But for being the first of its kind, it sure is something else.

2 Galaxy S2

The Galaxy S2 is one of the more i nventive watches from 2015, primarily because of its dialbased navigation that hides in plain sight right on the bezel. The Tizen OS is set up with apps lined around the circular menu screen, which you can then turn left or right to select which app you want. Tizen OS is still appdeficient compared to Android Wear or Watch OS, but it's the first Tizen watch that's been worth a closer look.

3 Apple TV

Apple TV's been neglected for three years, but the new set top box incorporates a bunch of new, interesting ideas. With a refreshed interface, a Siriequipped controller, and most importantly, tvOS, Apple TV (2015) is an excellent deal.

4 Nexus 6P

The 6P once again proved that Google can make a damn good smart phone. It's also a big win for Huawei, the first Chinese phone maker to be part of the Nexus program, as the company's been trying to make inroads into the US smartphone market. The 6P is all metal, completely spec'd out, runs stock Android, and is impressively inexpensive.

5 Yuneec

Typhoon Q500 4K With super simple cont rols, a st u n ni ng c a mera, and features like `Follow Me,' the Yuneec Typhoon is the best drone that's an out-of-the-box complete experience. If you want to t a ke stu n ni ng aeria l footage, or just annoy your neighbours, Yuneec can get the job done on both fronts.

6 Moto G (3rd Edition)

It's easy to get caught up in specs and spare-no expense gadgets and forget about the really great cheap stuff. The Moto G continues to be an incredible smartphone in the budget category. It was already the best cheap phone you could buy, and in 2015, Motorola decided to go ahead and waterproof the whole thing. It even improved the Moto G's overall design while maintaining the phone's stellar battery life.

7 Kindle Paperwhite

Amazon makes a lot of hardware, some great and some terrible, but t he shi ni ng st a r has a lways been t he K i nd le and the Paperwhite is the best of the bunch. As looks go, the Kindle Paperwhite looks about the same as all the iterations that have come before. But Amazon has greatly improved the reader experience with more sensible line break al gorithms, a better font, and a much sharp much sharp er display. It's so, so, so good.

8 Fitbit Charge HR

Fitbit has always been at the top when it comes to fitness trackers, and the Fitbit Charge HR is the near perfect mixture of form and function. If you're looki n g for a sm a r t watch fitness tracker hybrid, this isn't .the gadget for you, but it's a good standalone fitness companion
