2015 Valentine’s Day Gift Guide Tech Edition

If you want to spice up your gifts this Valentine's Day but stick with a V-Day theme, here are some gadgets that we think your Valentine would love!

I don’t know about your Valentine, but I want more than chocolates and dinner (not saying that’s not good), but if you really want to impress your Valentine I say go all out.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S

What’s not to love about the Galaxy Tab S? So why not share the love? The latest tablet from Samsung is thin and lightweight; coming in at less than a pound. It also and takes multitasking to a whole other level with multi-window allowing you to get the most out of your tablet.

With Multi-User mode, the Galaxy Tab S can be shared around the house. Multi-User mode allows for multiple accounts to be created. The accounts can be secured with the fingerprint scanner. You can even create an account that is safe for kids to use with Kids Mode which allows you to use parental controls on the content.

Let’s not forget that although the Galaxy Tab S is pretty on the outside (available in dazzling white, or titanium bronze) with a 1600 x 2560 resolution, it’s beautiful on the inside as well. The Galaxy Tab S has a powerful quad-core processor and 3 GB RAM. Beauty and power in a sleek device make a great gift for Valentine’s Day.

You can go for the 8.4″ inch tablet or the 10.5 inch tablet.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - White Stock

I reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 late last year. Samsung knows what they’re doing in the “phablet” department. The Galaxy Note 4 offers you tons of features that make having a smartphone worthwhile. The 5.7 inch quad HD screen is is a joy to watch videos on. The Galaxy Note 4 has powerful cameras too. The 16 megapixel rear facing camera has OIS and records in 4K so you get the most out of your images and video. The 3.9 front-facing camera is great for selfies.

My favorite thing about the Galaxy Note 4 is the stylus of course. Use it to note-take efficiently with Photo Note. The S-Pen (stylus) is easy to use and doesn’t feel to awkward in hand. Multi-window makes great use of the big screen. Open multiple apps and get more done on the go.

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge

If you like what the Galaxy Note 4 has to offer with a bit of innovation, you might want to consider giving the Galaxy Note Edge a try. It has many of the great features like the Note 4 but with a little twist. Like the name says, the right edge of the screen is curved. It works individually from the main screen. You can set it up to do different things such as getting notifications, news and stock alerts, music player controls, and more.
