Essential Summer Holiday Gadgets

A recent online survey carried out by Holiday Hypermarket found that 72% of the more than 2100 adults who took part, would sacrifice the usual holiday essentials (like sun cream, beach towels and swimwear), in favour of squeezing technology and power cables into their suitcases. Participants of the survey also claimed that they will be taking an average of six technology devices away with them on holiday this year. So we’ve decided to give you some suggestions on just what those six summer tech essentials might be. If you want to suggest others, then we want to hear your ideas – share them in the comments section!

Although snapping shots on a smartphone is quick and simple, most of the time we want a higher quality photo, one that really captures the moment so that we can treasure the memory long after we get home. Obviously a digital camera is going to be essential for this. If you are going on an adventure holiday, then perhaps opt for a model that is waterproof and built for more rugged use.

Of course if you are planning to take any electronic device away with you, please don’t forget to take the chargers, cables and relevant plug adapters if necessary.
