WeMo Switch and Motion Sensor
Belkin’s WeMo, like Philips’ Hue, has all sorts of great smart home products. Including a connected slow cooker. This WeMo Switch and Motion Sensor pack is a great place to start. Allowing you to plug in a lamp to the outlet and control it from your smartphone using the free WeMo app. The Motion Sensor is also great for lamps as well, allowing you to turn on your lamp when it senses motion in the room.

This is Samsung’s latest smartwatch. Unlike previous Tizen-based smartwatches, the Gear S2 works with all Android smartphones (and will work with iOS soon). It’s a fantastic smartwatch, offering all day battery life along with the ability to scroll through the OS by rotating the bezel on the top of the watch. It’s a great accessory to your new smartphone.
Aukey Quick Charge 3.0 Car Charger
Aukey already has Quick Charge 3.0 products available, even though the only smartphone that can support it is the HTC One A9 – for now. The good thing is that Quick Charge 3.0 is backwards compatible with Quick Charge 2.0, 1.0 and even standard charging. This car charger has two ports. One does Quick Charge 3.0, which is color-coded in teal while the other uses their proprietary AiPower Technology.

The USB Type-C port also does Quick Charge 3.0, although there are no USB Type-C devices available right now that also support Quick Charge 3.0. That should change this year, however.
