What are the best accessories to gift an Android user this Christmas?
Smartphone accessories make brilliant Christmas gifts, especially if someone you know is expecting a new handset from Santa this year. Whether it's low-budget stocking fillers you're looking for, or you're shopping for something special like wireless headphones, we have plenty of recommendations for Android users below.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus
If you're thinking about treating an Android lover this Christmas, then why not give them the gift of music with a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus? Created in collaboration with acoustics experts AKG, the sound quality on these wireless headphones is second-to-none. Whether the person you're buying for often takes calls on the move or they love listening to dance music when they workout at the gym, they're sure to be impressed with the sound quality on these portable, wireless earbuds.
Active noise cancellation means they'll be able to control how much they can hear from the world around them too. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus can block out external noise for no distractions, or they can intelligently make sure you can always hear train announcements through the music. The headphones are also IPX4 splash-proof, so there's no need to panic about getting caught in the rain.
As for power, it takes just 34 minutes to fully charge the case, and 22 hours of incredible sound can be enjoyed from one full charge.
Urbanista Stockholm True Wireless Headphones
A slightly more affordable alternative is Urbanista's Stockholm True Wireless Headphones.
The earbuds have a simple yet stylish design, with an elongated stem that's similar to Apple's AirPods. There's a small LED light that'll let you know if the earbuds are connected - or if they need charging - and thanks to innovative touch controls, skipping tracks or increasing the volume is simple.
The Urbanista Stockholm True Wireless Headphones are easy to set up too, and once the lucky recipient has unwrapped them on Christmas morning, they'll be working in a matter of minutes. The pocket-sized case can be charged via micro-USB cable, and once the headphones are removed from the case, you can expect at least 3.5 hours of great sound before they need to power up again.
Samsung Galaxy S20 Essential Bundles
The Samsung Galaxy S20 Essential Bundle available at Mobiles.co.uk is a brilliant add-on for anyone expecting a new Samsung handset this Christmas. The collection for the Samsung Galaxy S20, Samsung Galaxy S20 Plu and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra all feature an effective screen wash, a tough screen protector designed to keep each handset's display in perfect condition and a sturdy clear plastic case.
If you're shopping for a different Samsung handset, such as the Samsung Galaxy S9 or S8, don't worry. There are similar bundles available in the Accessories section - they make fantastic stocking fillers for any new Samsung user.
Belkin 15W Fast Wireless Charger
A huge range of new Android handsets come with wireless charging technology, including the Google Pixel 5, Samsung Galaxy S20 and Huawei P40 Pro. Fast, high-quality wireless chargers don't have to cost the earth either, and you can pick up the 15W Fast Wireless Charger from Belkin.
Created with a non-slip surface, you won't have to worry about whoever you're buying for accidentally knocking their Android off the charger, and thanks to an innovative LED light that turns amber if there's an issue, there'll be no guessing if the handset is powering up properly either.
A new Android phone case
Do you know someone that's expecting a new Android handset for Christmas? Help them take care of their device with a brand-new phone case.
Whether it's a Google Pixel or a Samsung Galaxy case you need, you'll find plenty of options available. Wallet-style phone cases are really useful if the recipient likes to travel light, as they provide a space to store cards while also protecting the device's screen from bumps and scratches. Silicone and fabric cases, meanwhile, add extra grip and are available in a huge range of colours and playful designs. Our TPU cases are a must if you're looking to gift a case with maximum protection, providing a strong buffer between your handset and the elements.
