Best new travel gadgets 2019 – from camera phones to noise-cancelling headphones

HAVING the right gadgets could make all the difference when you're travelling, whether it means getting better holiday photos or some much needed rest on a flight.

But with so many new products out there, it can be hard to narrow down the right ones.

With this in mind, Sun Online Travel has picked some of the best new gadgets you should look out for this year.

They suit a wide range of budgets, are light weight, and will make your life easier whether you'e travelling for work or pleasure.

So from smartphones to noise-cancelling headphones, we reveal the new gadgets you should look out for:

The smartphone with a great camera

When it comes to smartphones, there are lots of options to choose from - and plenty offering picture quality that competes with bigger DSLR cameras.

Google's Pixel 3 is one of the best out there thanks to its high resolution cameras and a function called Night Sight, which helps you to take day-time quality photos in low light situations.

When we tested this out in restaurants, we got clearer, brighter pictures than the standard camera setting and there's no horrible orange hue.

Your photos are also backed up to Google Pictures so if you lose your phone, you won't lose your holiday snaps.

Then there's Google Assistant, which alerts you to when your flight is taking off, if it's delayed and even what gate it's leaving from.

But the other surprise we found was the battery life.

The phone charges up incredibly quickly - up to 7 hours use from 15 minutes of charge - and a full charge will last the whole day even with some heavy use.

There are three versions of the phone. The 3 and 3XL are the same phone but at different sizes. There's also the 3a, which is a slightly pared-down version - it doesn't offer wireless charging for example, but it is much cheaper.

With the Pixel 4 having just launched, you should be able to find some great phone-only deals if you shop around.
