The world of tech is ever-changing—devices are better than ever! Contributing to the rapid development of technology is the rise of new players in the fields of mobile and personal computing, as well as photography and mobility.

Mobile Gaming is one of the fastest-growing competitive esports in the world, and one of the primary reasons mobile gaming has amassed this huge following is the rise of more powerful smartphones. Read about the rise of mobile gaming and Filipino-inspired games in this issue's cover stories.

Gaming has evolved from being a mere hobby into a lucrative multi-billion dollar industry. In this issue, we show the different aspects of gaming — such as the passionate athletes and fans of esports, and the emergence of games as a new storytelling method. 

INNOVATION | TECHNOLOGY

In this issue, we take a look at some underrated innovations, like how imaging technology is changing the way we see, and how the lives of our furbabies are getting some upgrades with innovations in pet tech.

This August, we shine the spotlight on EDUCATION, one of our core advocacies.

Just like every other aspect of our lives, the education landscape has changed dramatically, and as we emerge into the new normal, we take stock of new learning pathways that can help address the so-called crisis in education. 


With the help of technology, Digital Nomads are able to find a healthy balance between work and leisure. They attend meetings while sunning at the beach or prepare presentations from a mountain retreat. Will the concept of “live anywhere, work anywhere” change how we see the office forever?

EARN FROM HOME.  In the last couple of years, the Internet has drastically changed our lives. With the continuing global crisis, the Internet has become our primary resource for communication, education, entertainment, and, for a growing number, even the main source of livelihood.

GADGETS Magazine is not just about smartphones and mobile devices, computers and laptops, entertainment centers, gaming consoles, home appliances, and other electronic stuff. A gadget is anything and everything—in the home, kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, garage, in the office, at school, for travel, or just about anywhere. It’s what you wear, what you carry in your bag, and what you aspire to have.

GADGETS Magazine features more than just electronic equipment and high-tech trends. We are redefining the term “tech-lifestyle” to cover virtually all aspects of living in a smart, connected, digital world.

Established in 2000, GADGETS Magazine is the Philippines’ first tech-lifestyle magazine. Staffed by young Filipino writers and artists, it is the only magazine to have earned two Tinta Awards for Special/Creative Executions from the United Print Media Group.
