Insta360 Go
Marketed as the world's smallest stabilized camera, the Insta360 Go is a feature-rich camera with an extremely small form factor.
The Insta360 Go is small coming in at only 49.4mm length and weighing in at just 18.3g, so the camera can be tucked and placed easily on any surface, or even tucked inside the shirt with the magnetic mount inside the box.
The little camera can only record small video clips in 30-60 second increments. It sports the comapny Insta360’s proprietary FlowState electronic stabilization technology.

Huawei FreeBuds 3

They also are the first to incorporate Huawei’s homegrown Kirin A1 chipset. The company claims that this chipset should ensure improved connectivity and stability, as well as ultra-low latency.
That Kirin A1 chip also brings in a new Bluetooth Protocol in itself. The BT-UHD protocol. When the FreeBuds 3 are connected to a new Huawei phone running EMUI 10 or above, both devices will connect using the new standard, which will supposedly offer up to 2.3Mbps data transfer rates.

Philips Hue Filament Collection
IoT-connected light bulbs or smart LEDs have been around since quite a while now. However, they all look like fancy technological bulbs which they are. Philips is here to change the game with their new Philips Hue Filament Collection bulbs.
These new connected bulbs sport an Edison-style old school bulb aesthetic. They have a thick transparent glass exterior with a glowing inner coil look. These are still LED bulbs, so you’re still getting the features you’d expect from a Hue smart bulb. You can adjust the brightness, group them into a network and control them all at once, and more but sport an old school aesthetic for looks. Also, the best part is they start at just €19.99 (~Rs 1,600).
