BOSE SOUNDLINK MAX PORTABLE SPEAKER

The audio powerhouse’s latest portable packs a ton of muscle into a sleek, light weight package, topped with a nifty rope carrying handle that can be swapped out for a shoulder strap. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.3 and a 20-hour battery, its foot-long body features deep side vents to ensure rich, room-soaking sound with super clean bass. It’s also dust proof, water resistant, and available in a variety of summer approved shades like lavender, sky club, and forest green. $399, bose.com

XIAOMI 14 ULTRA SMARTPHONE

One of the primary reasons people line up to be among the first to nab the latest iPhone or Galaxy is the camera, and this recent release from the global tech giant offers what is perhaps the most advanced camera on a smartphone to date. It features four large-sensor, 50-megapixel cameras developed by Leica, including a telephoto, 5X periscope, ultrawide, and primary camera with an f/1.63 variable aperture lens for true, professional quality images. There’s an upgrade package, too, offering camera grip and shutter button. $1,600, mi.com

LG STANBYME GO PORTABLE SCREEN

The open-air cin ematic experience is one of summer’s purest pleasures, and this portable screen turns any venue backyard, beach, campsite, park – into an outdoor theater. Once the credits begin to roll, the 27-inch, 1080p touchscreen simply disappears into a briefcase. Don’t expect old-school quality, either; the setup boasts Dolby Atmos for immersive surround sound, plus Dolby Vision for crisp colors and contrast. It features three hours of battery life, so even Oppenheimer is on the menu. $1,200, lg.com

HOVERAir X1

No larger than a Morpho butter fly, this pocket-sized drone zips through the air to capture stunning aerial photography, and because it’s self-flying, it demands no controller or training. Intelligent flight mode keeps your subject in focus, while triple stabilization delivers steady 2.7K HDR video footage even in turbulence. A clever real-time preview feature allows live adjustments from the ground, too. $445, hoverair.com
