It’s never too late for some last-minute gift shopping for the holidays, especially with a little help from RADII. We’ve compiled a list of the coolest gadgets coming out of Asia, covering a broad range of categories and price points.
Insta360 Go 3S
GoPro is so yesterday. The Insta360 Go 3S is an amazingly versatile action cam thanks to its cunning modular design and breakthrough video stabilization tech. Take selfie clips with ease using the flip touchscreen, but you can also undock the camera dongle and mount it onto other accessories — magnet pendant, sticky pivot stand, hat clip (all included), or any ferromagnetic object — for a different perspective. It’s great fun for sports as well as everyday use, especially with kids and pets. The companion app makes editing a breeze, thanks to its AI wizard and audio library.
Nothing Ear
These eye-catching wireless earbuds carry an award-winning
transparent design, complete with a new ceramic diaphragm for a richer sound and lower distortion, plus more powerful intelligent noise cancellation than previous generations of Nothing earphones. As a bonus, the Nothing Ear has built-in ChatGPT access, meaning you can ask this AI assistant for advice any time, anywhere. You can’t go wrong with this 149 USD stylish little gadget.
Xiaomi Watch S3
The Xiaomi brand is synonymous with price performance, and this smartwatch is no exception. The Xiaomi Watch S3 has an excellent battery life of up to 15 days, and it’s not lacking in features either. It monitors heart rate, blood oxygen level, stress level, menstruation cycle, and sleep quality, while its sports tracking supports over 150 modes (including a professional ski mode), many of which leverage the watch’s dual-band satellite positioning. You can further customize the watch with its interchangeable bezel and straps.
HOVERAir X1 PROMAX
Zero Zero Robotics is famous for its line of lightweight foldable drones that also feature safety cage designs. The HOVERAir X1 PROMAX is the company’s latest release, weighing just under 200g, meaning you can skip registering your drone, which is mandatory in pretty much all regions. It can capture 8K footage as well as 4K in slow motion, and with its obstacle avoidance plus tracking speed of up to 60km/h, this “flying action camera” makes an ideal gadget for outdoor sports.
XREAL Air 2 Pro + Beam Pro
XREAL is famous for its Air series lightweight AR glasses, which are usually powered by a smartphone or computer. The company has recently also launched the Beam Pro, a smartphone-like device with stereoscopic cameras for taking 3D photos and videos. You can plug your Air 2 Pro smart glasses into the Beam Pro, and fully immerse yourself in those 3D moments via the 130-inch spatial display. The Beam Pro runs Android 14 with Google Play Store, so all the usual Android apps will work on XREAL’s AR glasses. Yes, this means you’ll even get a personal cinema by way of YouTube, Netflix, Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.
Razer Kishi Ultra
If your loved one is into gaming, then he or she is likely to have heard of Razer from Singapore. The Kishi Ultra is easily one of the most comfortable mobile gaming controllers to go with a smartphone or iPad mini (or any tablet of up to 8 inches), complete with console-grade buttons, haptics, and customizable RGB lighting. Advanced gamers will also appreciate the button remapping feature to help them reach the next level with ease. As a bonus, this controller works on PC as well to cover all grounds.
SwitchBot Mini Robot Vacuum K10+ Pro
This is possibly the world’s smallest robot vacuum, so it’s more likely to reach every nook and cranny — especially underneath stools and couches. Yet it still has great suction power of up to 3000Pa, which can even grab hold of loose marbles on the floor. Its spatial navigation combined with a “Lateral PSD Edge Sensor” prevent collisions with furniture and walls. After each run, the vacuum empties its own bin at the base station, and you’ll only have to handle the main 4-liter antibacterial dust bag about once every three months.
XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro Christmas collection
This compact projector bundle is perfect for road trips, even for outdoor use (provided that you have a flat, plain-colored surface to project onto). The projector beams out a full HD image at up to 120 inches, and this is assisted with auto-positioning plus a bracket with a 130-degree tilt. Built-in Google TV means you can watch YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video right out of the box. You can also use this device as a mood light, thanks to the bundled “creative optical filter.”
