A

latest generation smart phone

is capable of doing many things but to get the most out of it it is always a good idea to go for

good accessories.

Sometimes, it is almost an obligation. Few phones, for example, already include a power adapter, and the old ones we have in many homes from older phones can be slow or use almost obsolete ports.

These five accessories are a good way to complete any new phone, both Android and iPhone, or give new life to an old one.

HEADPHONES WITH GOOD SOUND

Jabra Elite 10.

Good headphones are the essential accessory for any smartphone and these from Jabra are one of the most advanced on the market. They are comfortable - they have been designed by analyzing more than 62,000 ears - and they fit well even when exercising.

They are compatible with spatial sound thanks to the Dolby Head Tracking system and have an advanced active noise cancellation system that eliminates ambient sound on the plane or train and allows for very clear conversations thanks to 6 integrated microphones.

They cost 249 euros

although it is common to find them on sale.

THE ONLY CHARGER YOU NEED

Baseus USB C GAN 30W

. Virtually no mobile phones come with a charger in the box and with the jump to USB-C as a connection standard it may be time to renew the older ones.

One of the great advances in consumer electronics in recent years is GaN technology, a new material that has made it possible to simplify and lighten the design of power adapters. This one from Baseus, for example, is tiny and weighs only 46 grams but is capable of providing up to 30V of power, enough to charge your phone at a good speed.

It costs 20 euros

.

A CABLE THAT NEVER TANGLES

Magtame USB

C. The phone's charging cable always ends up tangled at the bottom of the backpack or bag, but this one from Magtame solves the problem in an ingenious way. It is magnetic, and tends to always coil in a spiral. This also means that it can be left on a metal surface, such as the refrigerator.

It is capable of transferring power at up to 60W (sufficient for various fast charging standards), data at 480 Gbps and has a length of one meter.

It costs 20 euros.

A SMART BRACELET

Xiaomi Smart Band 8.

There are dozens of smart watches and bracelets on the market, but this one from Xiaomi boasts of offering a lot in exchange for very little.

Although it is technically a bracelet, the integrated 1.6-inch screen allows you to display the time and some applications such as weather, alarms and reminders. It can measure daily physical activity rate, sleep quality, and specific workouts.

It costs about 40 euros.

A WIRELESS CHARGER

Amazon Basics Charging Stand

. Nowadays many smartphones can be charged wirelessly using the Qi standard. A base that also allows them to be supported vertically can be the perfect accessory for a nightstand or work table.

This Amazon model is one of the cheapest but offers up to 10W of charging power if used together with a power adapter compatible with the fast charging standard.

It costs approximately 20 euros
