A lightweight browser that saves 30 to 40 percent of data and is an absolute must-try for him.

Nicer materials, front-facing speakers and a better camera, though sales were still modest.

Aggressive design, top-tier specs for its time and a plain Google software experience.

A connected Rubik's Cube with an app that adds guidance and minigames, and a very smooth feel.

The king of affordable smartphone stabilisers, worth a slight premium for how smooth the footage is.

Probably the most expensive gadget in the series, with mind-blowing results capturing deep space automatically.
