Smart entertainment at home — Projectors, smart-TVs, soundbars signal a rise in home-cinema and entertainment-at-home gadgets, likely fuelled by higher streaming consumption and remote/hybrid lifestyles.
Value with features — Many of these gadgets aim to strike a balance: relatively accessible pricing with features that once were premium-only (e.g. 4K TVs, fast-charging big-battery phones, feature-rich smartwatches).
