AMONGST the many gadgets out this fall, we've compiled a list of the latest must-have products while we wait to see what other innovative high-tech products September will bring during the IFA (consumer electronics and home appliances) tradeshow in Berlin and the much-anticipated Apple and Microsoft announcements.
Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+
The new Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ is the Phablet variant of the Galaxy S6 edge launched this spring.
The device is equipped with a 5.7-inch HD screen (1440x2560 pixels) with two dual curved edges and runs thanks to a 2.1GHz 8-core processor operating under Android Lollipop (5.1).

The Galaxy S6 edge+ hit store shelves since August 21. Prices start at US$768 (RM3,200) for the 32GB Galaxy.
Moto X Style
The new high-end Motorola creation has been described as the brand's most personalizable smartphone thanks to its online tool Moto Maker.
Endowed with a 5.7-inch Quad HD screen (1440 x 2560, 520 ppi), the device includes a six-core processor running at 1.8GHz, a 21MP camera and a 10-hour battery life for only 15 minutes of charge.
The Moto X Style is available for purchase in September starting at US$399 (RM1,665).
Jolla Tablet
First introduced in 2014 thanks to a crowdfunding campaign, the Jolla tablet powered by the alternative Sailfish operating system is now available on preorder for delivery in October 2015.
The 7.85-inch tablet (2048x1536 pixels), Bluetooth and Wifi compatible, includes a 1.8GHz Intel 4-core processor, a 5MP photo and video camera able to film in full HD (1080p).
The price of the tablet starts at US$267 (RM1,114) for the 32GB model and $299 (RM1,247) for the 64GB, tax and shipping not included.

The devices battery life guarantees up to 2 days of use.
The bracelet does not possess a screen display but alerts the user to calls or text messages via 3 notification diodes.
The Sony SmartBand2 will be available for purchase for €119 / £99.99 (RM560).
Archos PC Stick
French brand Archos presents the PC Stick, a device that plugs into an HDMI port to transform any screen, portable or not, into a computer.

Thanks to the PC Stick's own USB port and Bluetooth connection, an external keypad and mouse can easily be added to the operation for optimized use.
