Gadgets Philippines Magazine Description:

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.
