Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

Foldables have become quite popular over the past few years, and Samsung's folding hybrid smartphone may just be the newest tech to bring back the trend this 2022.

Aside from its unique aesthetics, SamMobile reports that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 boasts flagship-level specs, an incredible design, and enhanced durability.

Apple MacBook Air With M2

SCMP reports that the 2022 edition of the MacBook Air is one of its most popular laptops this year.

The M2 silicon chip used here has proven to be quite powerful and efficient, however, the gains are not limited to its internal CPU upgrade. The 2022 MacBook Air model has a new design with reduced display bezels and a better webcam, which is an improvement over previous generations.

Despite the Air's overall smaller design, MagSafe charging has returned to its left-side location, and the laptop's bottom is now flat rather than wedge-shaped. The function row's keys are full-size as well, and additional color schemes are available. Overall, the device has a professional appearance and feel that makes prior models seem dated.

Steam Deck

The beauty of this year's Steam Deck is that it is a full gaming PC in a compact gadget. Gizmodo reports that considering that the gadget is much more powerful than the Nintendo Switch, gamers can play some of the top titles this year, such as God of War, Elden Ring, Stray, and more.

Many gamers may relate to having an endless backlog of games, but now, you can take your games on the go through the Steam Deck. Additionally, the gadget has been improved with additional updates that enhance its stability and better support for docking and external monitors.

Google Pixel 7 Pro

9to5Google commends Google for finally being able to solve its device issues this year with its popular flagship model, specifically, the Pixel Pro 7.

Google's second-generation Tensor G2 processor, a system-on-a-chip that prioritizes AI and general performance, makes its smartphone unique from other brands.

Additionally, Google has improved on the design from the previous year by replacing the plastic camera bar frame with a more upscale metal frame that keeps the two-tone design feature.

Sony WH-1000XM5

The WH-1000XM5 is yet another example of Sony's extraordinary ability to hit targets. The aforementioned headphones are the most recent in Sony's premium line of portable audio devices.

Gadget Match reports that the Sony WH-1000XM5 is the king of noise-cancellation, which is perfect for drowning out all kinds of sounds whether you are walking out in the busy streets or simply trying to drown out the world through music in the comfort of your room.
