4. USB OTG Flash Drives

The USB OTG feature on Android smartphone has been here for quite some time now and you can use it in a lot of different ways. Having said that, it comes in especially handy when you have a smartphone with a rather modest internal storage.

5. Headphones

When it comes to in-ear headphones, the Sony MDRXB50AP earphones ($29.99) is arguably the best in its price range. If you want something way more affordable but still pretty great, you can get the Panasonic ErgoFit ($8.99).

Talking about headphones, if you want the best, you should check out the much regarded Audio-Technica ATH-M20x ($49). They don’t only sound great but are also quite comfortable to wear.

6. Smartwatches

The Apple Watch allows you to take real-time ECG and can also detect heart attacks which can actually save lives. So if you are into the Apple ecosystem, the Apple Watch (starts at $419 for Series 5) is your best bet. And for Android users, you can either go for Samsung Watch 3 (starts at $399) or Oppo Watch ($200).

7. Gaming Controllers

While most games available on the App Store or the Play Store are designed for the touchscreen, there are games that can be played better using a controller. Games running in emulators or VR games will be a lot of fun when played with a controller. Although there are various gaming controllers out there, you should check out SteelSeries’ Bluetooth gaming controller.

8. Cases and Covers

For most people, cases or covers are the first accessories they buy for their smartphones.
