Best Cool New Gadgets This 2022

​Google Pixel 7 Pro

Google has released its latest addition to the Pixel family: the Pixel 7 Pro. It may seem like an overstretch to say that this is the best Android phone to date--but it is.

A huge step up from the Pixel 6 Pro, this new phone comes with a metal camera bar that blends well into the overall look. 

It also features the Google Tensor G2 chip, a faster and more efficient processor, and the certified Titan M2 security chip, which provides a multilayer of security. It also has a powerful triple-camera system that delivers high-quality, detailed images and videos.

One problem with hot drinks: it’s always difficult to get their perfect temperature. If you drink them right away, you’ll burn your tongue. But if you wait a little longer, they get colder faster than you think. So what do you do? A smart mug is the answer. 

The Ember Smart Mug 2 comes with a chargeable coaster that can keep your drink at the optimal temperature for up to 80 minutes on one single charge. But what sets this chargeable coaster from the rest is that it comes with an iPhone app that allows you to choose the exact temperature you want it to be.
