A power bank is an indispensable gadget that must be included among your travel essentials. It is best to buy power banks from reputable brands as they are very sensitive to external factors like pressure, moisture, and temperature. Flights even have special restrictions on power banks. The Anker PowerCore 10000mAh power bank is the best seller on Amazon. This is largely due to its small size, large capacity and high speed charging technology.

Poweradd 2-Outlet International Travel Charger Power AC Adapter

I was recently in Japan on an exchange program, but luckily I had managed to enquire a bit about the things that I should take with me. The first thing that most of the websites recommended was a travel adapter. Since I was from India, none of my chargers or appliances would work in Japan because they had a different power outlet. Thanks to the Poweradd 2-Outlet International Power adapter, I was able to charge my smartphone, camera, portable speaker and laptop without any issues.

You can now know where your suitcase is through the GPS tracker and even lock it right from your smartphone. The only downside is that it comes with a price tag of nearly $320.

iPhone 7 Plus

The iPhone 7 raised a few eyebrows as it didn’t have any path breaking innovation from the iPhone 6S. Yes, there is an improved camera, processor, re-designed antenna lines and better overall performance. But Apple enthusiasts were eagerly waiting for something innovative and breathtaking like an edge-to-edge display or an under screen TouchID. Nevertheless, the phone is an amazing buy and the matte black variant is just so good looking.

I’ve said this before and I will say it again. This is the phone that every iPhone user would be envious about. The Infinite Display and the supreme build quality along with a set of compelling security features like the Iris Scanner and the fingerprint scanner, there is no better phone in the market right now. Don’t forget the Snapdragon 835 which ensures flawless performance throughout. If you don’t want the bigger screen on the S8+, you can go for the Samsung Galaxy S8 as well.
