BUDGET BUYS

Ring Indoor Cam

+++++£49 / stuff.tv/RingIndoor

This cute little spy-cam is a bona fide bargain for

anyone with security worries.

UPDATE

Amazon Echo Dot with Clock
£35 / stuff.tv/EchoDotClock

A radical redesign (it’s now more of
a sphere than a puck) means the
new Echo Dot with Clock on p15
looks dramatically different to this
one, but that doesn’t stop the 3rd
Gen model being one of the finest
bargains in tech... until we’ve tested
its replacement, that is.

Moto G8 Plus

£240 / stuff.tv/G8Plus

It would have taken something

monumental to screw up the

affordable formula crafted over

eight generations of G phones...

so it’s really no surprise the G8

Plus is such a gem. Budget phones

are a competitive field, but this is

the best you’ll find for the money.

SoundMagic TWS50

+++++ £79 / stuff.tv/TWS50

Expertly judged wireless in-ear performance at

an eye-catching price.

Amazon Fire HD 10

++++, from £150 / stuff.tv/FireHD10

Amazon obliterates the competition at the lower

end of the tab market.

Mi Smart Band 5

+++++£40 / stuff.tv/MiBand5

Fantastic value and decent features make this

an easy fitness tracker to recommend.

Ikea Frekvens

++++, from £65 / stuff.tv/Frekvens

These modular speakers and lights reaffirm our

love of the boffins in the big blue building.

Mixcder E10

++++, £76 / stuff.tv/MixcderE10

Not the most subtle headphones, but stacked

with features and phenomenally well priced.

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2

+++++ £90 / stuff.tv/Wonderboom2

A rugged little wonder that’ll bring a sonic boost

to any occasion.

Sega Mega Drive Mini

£70 / stuff.tv/MegaDriveMini

There’ll always be rows and online feuds

over whether Nintendo’s or Sega’s games

are better, but the Mega Drive Mini wins

the miniature retro console war in terms of

the faithful recreation of both hardware and

software – especially as there are 42 games

included. It’s taken a long time to get here,

but as the saying goes, to be this good takes

ages – and the Sega is the must-buy console

of the moment.
