Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals To Watch

The revolution is upon us and technology is at the helm of this progressive global movement. To make sure you don’t get left behind, the team at SovTech have put together an enticing list of their tech favourites to look out for during this year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.
In no particular order, here we go:

Xiaomi Electric Scooter

Why it’s great: “Did anyone order transport to go?”

The scooter runs on electricity, which is great considering the cost of fuel nowadays and is one of the most efficient and practical modes of transport for those working and living in modern cities.  It’s impressively portable, as I’m sure you’d imagine, having maximised foldable capabilities and weighing around just 12.5kgs, you can take it with you on the train or bus and easily pack it away right under your desk when you get to the office.  Its most significant appeal is of course its technological capabilities, as a smart mode of transport, this scooter seamlessly connects to a mobile application where its usage data is gauged to facilitate some super cool operations, like setting your ideal cruise control. Whether you’re keen on it for low environmental impact travel or just to have an awful amount of fun, this is a worthy buy!

Google Pixel 3 XL

Why it’s great: “It’s the smartest smartphone in like, ever!”

Aside from having what’s been considered the best camera in the business, you can also cause serious FOMO amongst your fellow, inferior, android users as updates come out on this phone first. The phone is smooth and beautifully made, with high functioning software capabilities such as AI assistants and super loud speakers considering it’s a phone. Most importantly is the fact that this phone is driven by its software, meaning it will change as new innovations come about and is designed to constantly improve over time. If you’re looking to upgrade to something that’s fast and responsive to your needs, and takes great snaps, look no further.

Apple Watch Series 4

Why it’s great: “2019 is the year to reel in that one-pack and get fit, in style.”

It’s bigger and better! With a new edge-to-edge screen, fitness (and trend) fanatics literally have more to look at with this upgraded version and are able to facilitate more complex visual attributes such as placing an image on your contacts, pretty cool feature considering it’s on a watch. The performance of this slimmer device is also quite superior, with intuitive aspects such as fall detection and unique ECG capabilities that measure the electrical activity of your heartbeat to help diagnose possible heat conditions. Its new design and new hardware makes it one of the best smartwatches out there.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

Why it’s great: “It’s just a BEAST to put it simply.”

This is Nvidia’s latest flagship graphics card and it’s a powerhouse piece of technology that will literally turn any capable PC into a silky smooth gaming system. Its premium performance allows you to play any game in 4k resolution at an impressively high frame rate. There’s a lot of technical specs we could spew out about why it’s so great but the main reason we rate it is because of how it will transform every game played into an exceptionally striking visual experience.

Sony SHAKE-X70D

Why it’s great: “Because it’s all about that bass, and treble.”

It’s got all the trimmings to help make up a worthy bachelor pad. These speakers include LED lights, DJ effects to let you put your own spin on tracks, a guitar input and karaoke features all geared to help create a vibrant party atmosphere. Its HD sound quality is what stands out the most and the system boasts an inbuilt sound pressure horn for bass you can feel.

Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen)

Why it’s great: “It’s the tiny smart speaker we’ve all been waiting for.”

With improved design and features, the new Echo Dot is an extraordinary and ultra-modern addition to the home that undoubtedly enhances the experience of your everyday tasks. This 3rd generation is an upgrade of all the ‘simple’ things we love about the Amazon smart speaker. It picks up commands more accurately, quicker, and from further away than other brand versions, connects to other bluetooth or wired speakers to improve audio quality and allows you to link your Spotify account to it to play your favourite music on demand.

Samsung Galaxy Watch

Why it’s great: “Once you’ve got it, you’ll feel lost without it.”

The new Samsung Galaxy watch helps you stay connected for longer with its substantial four-day battery life and impeccable core smart watch software. Its bold and slick design makes this digital accessory look like a real wrist watch, which is great for those that prefer a more traditional look to their apparel. If you’re into fitness this watch makes a great workout companion as it tracks GPS, heart rate and displays helpful notifications while you’re on your run. The watch also helps you keep up-to-date with your daily schedule as it integrates with your Google calendar and pushes reminders to you without you having to look at your phone. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of this smart watch is that it brings with it a new way of making payments, having been fully integrated with the new Samsung Pay.
