Kitting yourself out for the summer holidays need not be expensive, as evidenced by our pick of the best gadgets you can buy for £100 or less
Huawei Ascend Y300
Like the chicken burger at your local late-night takeaway, this smartphone is worryingly cheap. Although it will probably prove a lot more satisfying than the Shalamar Chicken Combo, since it comes with a 1GHz processor, 4-inch screen and even a 5.1-megapixel camera. Delicious. £69.95 on PAYG| carphonewarehouse.co.uk
Nothing bears the brunt of travelling quite like headphones: caught in a taxi door; thrown hastily into a bag when you realise you’re at the wrong terminal; cranked up full blast to drown out a screaming baby. The Jabra VOX have tangle-free reinforced cables to withstand your woeful disorganisation. £80 | amazon.co.uk 50 | June 28 2013 |
Cambridge Audio Minx Go
Its name might sound like a call to action for a particularly obscure ThunderCat, but there’s nothing cartoonish about this wireless speaker. It boasts a whopping 18 hours of battery life – which is probably about 10 times as much as your phone if you’re using it to listen to music. So more than enough, then. £99.95 | cambridgeaudio.com
olloClip
Take a professional range of lenses to the beach without looking like a paparazzo this summer, with this clever lens kit for iPhone 4, 4S and 5. The easy three-in-one kit clips easily on to your phone, with wide-angle, macro and fisheye lenses included for panoramic, detailed and, er, aquatic snaps. £69.95 | store.apple.com/uk
Griffin survivor iPhone Case Standard advice if you drop your phone in the swimming pool is to stick it in a bag of rice and cross your fingers, which seems like a waste of both rice and time. Prevent all that hassle with this waterproof (to three metres) and shockproof case from Griffin. Then make yourself a nice curry to use up that rice. £45 | griffintechnology.com
