Mobile devices

Mobile devices for every day

The smartphone is today's main device, a tablet takes over films and notes, and a smartwatch keeps an eye on training and sleep. For travel, add a power bank and a proper charger; for the camera, a roomy memory card.

Areas of the section

The range is split into five areas: phones and tablets, cases and screen protection, smartwatches and fitness bands, charging and memory, and dash cams and drones.

Often bought together

Phones and tablets usually leave the shop with headphones, USB-C and Lightning cables and a USB flash drive for files — they live in neighbouring sections but fit the same devices.

How to choose

On a phone, battery capacity, real-world camera quality and years of software updates matter more than the processor's name. Take more storage than you think you need — 256 GB is a sensible minimum if photos and films live on the device. For a watch, check phone compatibility and battery life: weeks on sporty models, days on bright-screen ones. Full buying guide: best smartphones.

FAQ

How many watts does a charger need? 20–33 W is enough for most phones; pick 65 W or more for tablets and laptops.

Does fast charging damage the battery? Modern devices manage charging speed themselves; heat and sitting at 100% wear a battery more than fast charging itself.
