Some double as external storage by throwing in a few hundred GB of flash space. Power banks are becoming cheaper and cheaper per mAh of power, and more versatile.

Inspite of the hype, only few phone batteries last a full day of intensive online use without needing a recharge. Most of us have had the experience of a phone going dead just as we are about to book a cab or buy a ticket. Phones have become slimmer, lighter, more app heavy and less reliable. The humble power bank figures in this Top Ten list because unlike all other gadgets, this one is a life saver. In my experience, no single provider has uniformly good coverage all over India and I usually carry two data SIMS which I switch to get the best data speeds in any city. Most mobile service providers have their own pocket routers which are a bit cheaper, but somehow I don’t like the idea of a device that works for only one make of SIM. We reviewed some models a few weeks ago in this space. I got one of the early models from D-Link but you can find half a dozen options from TP-Link, Huawei etc and they all cost around Rs 2,000 to 3,000. For me, faced with a couple of outstation trips every month, the mobile pocket has been a Godsend. Many customers now prefer to have a second dedicated SIM only for the mobile hotspot and to use it on a prepaid plan.
This is because the small pebble-shaped device worked with any make of SIM and set-up was a cinch. The pocket WiFi hotspot came as a huge help in 2016. Things get worse when you stay at a hotel-many of them charge from Rs 500 to Rs 1,000 for a day’s connectivity. But what happens when you step outside? The data plan of your mobile phone is patchy when it comes to coverage. Your access to the Internet is great at home, because you have subscribed to a fibre optic cable-driven broadband connection and then turned it into a wireless hotspot with a home router. We reviewed it though we were not exactly singing when we heard the price of nearly Rs 14,000. Samsung had a cool idea of combining a health band with a music player and 4G of storage for some 1,000 songs in the Gear Fit 2. We tried out quite a few attractively priced health bands this year. Many health band makers created subscription models so that users could have a real-life trainer, egging them on when their enthusiasm flagged.
Indians were offered basic models at around Rs 700- 800. Global brands like FitBit can cost Rs 8,000 or more if you want extras like sleep monitor, GPS, phone alerts etc. But measuring your heart rate was a great thing. All those displays of calories burnt and cardio fitness, is so much extrapolated hocus-pocus. Mind you, what the band basically does, is to measure the steps or strides you take and your heart beat. Of all the avatars of smart wearable technology, only the health band has caught public fancy. Finally in 2016, we ran out of excuses to avoid that morning walk or run: someone had gifted us a health tracker. (For those too young to understand this word, it is an old-fashioned expression that means “a walk taken regularly to maintain or restore good health”). The diabetics among us have been warned of dire consequences if we don’t take our daily 30 minute ‘constitutional’. As I write this, I searched for VR video on YouTube and over 7 lakh video turned up.
Today there is no lack of VR clips to watch. It works with any phone up to 6 inch screen size. My personal favourite is an Indian offering, the Zeb VR from Zebronics that was a comfortable fit, with focus-adjusting lenses that retails for less than Rs 1,000. Forget the ultra cheap Google Cardboard: it was not even good as a school project.

It was left to a handful of mobile phone makers and a few third-party players to launch VR headsets that cost less than Rs 2,000, or were given away free as an phone accessory. In India, it costs over Rs 80,000, 100 times the cost of an indigenously made model. Oculus who pioneered VR headsets priced themselves out of the consumer market. Google first foray in AR-Google Glass was a flop. Both had been around for a few years but pricey delivery mechanisms kept them out of our reach. In 2016, most of us got our first look at Virtual Reality and its cousin, Augmented Reality.
