June 2024 saw several exciting gadget releases that cater to different preferences. One of the notable launches was the Insta360 GO 3S, an upgrade to the previous model, offering higher resolution video at 4K and a wider lens for reduced distortion. Priced at $400, it is not just limited to capturing action but could also be used for various purposes.
Vizio released its latest TV models featuring Quantum technology, further enhancing color and brightness levels. These TVs offer top-notch visuals perfect for gaming or streaming high-quality content.
Samsung unveiled the $1,300 Odyssey OLED G8, merging the brand’s smartphone’s saturation and vividness with gaming on PC or consoles. Offering a maximum refresh rate of 240Hz and the ability to stream applications without a console, it’s a robust option for gaming enthusiasts.
ASUS introduced its new ProArt laptops, which are versatile two-in-one devices, running on both AMD and Qualcomm chips. They are part of the Microsoft Co-Pilot+ rollout, promising AI-assisted tasks, albeit with more promising functionality than other AI-first PCs.
In the audio department, Sony introduced the Bravia 7, a mini-LED QLED 4K TV priced at $2,000. Though it does not stand out in design, its HDR colors are vibrant and stunning for watching content. However, its glare production under direct light requires careful placement of the TV.
Lastly, affordable waterproof Bluetooth speakers from JBL, the Clip 5 and Go 4, are worth considering for summertime music adventures. Both weighing less than a pound and priced at $80 and $50, respectively, they are portable options for listening to music on boats, bikes, or anywhere permitted.
