SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) – It’s time to start getting ready for spring break season, and that includes putting together all the tech you need for your trip!

So, what are some of the new and convenient tech gadgets making everything a little easier on the road? Jeff Kew of Verizon joined us on 16 News Now at Noon to give us a look at some of these top items.

Samsung Galaxy S24

Kew highlighted the Galaxy S24 because it comes with an AI-powered live translation feature that translates phone calls in real-time directly on your device.

If you’re traveling outside of the U.S., this feature will make multilingual communication easier because you essentially have your own personal translator.

Google Pixel 8 Pro

Kew says the Pixel 8 Pro can double as a contactless thermometer. Not only can it come in handy if you have little ones who say they aren’t feeling well, it’s also one less thing you need to worry about packing!

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro

According to Kew, these are a great pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds that come with great battery life. These will certainly come in handy for watching movies on your flight!

Samsung Galaxy Watch6

Phones don’t necessarily look great with bathing suits. That’s why smartwatches come in handy if you’re out at the beach! Dad can get all the March Madness updates he would normally get on his phone straight to his wrist instead.

Anker 3-in-1 Cube

If you’re looking to get your hands on this gadget, you’ll need to call your local Verizon store ahead of time to see if they have it in stock. It’s no longer available online because it is selling so quickly.

And why is it so popular? Because it handles everything. Your smartphone, your earbuds, your smartwatch — they can all be charged at the same time by this convenient portable device!
