The right tech can let you check email, post to social media, book hotels and flights and more. The best phones even have cameras that rival “real” ones. The best laptops have thin designs and big batteries, and for something highly functional in between those sizes, some tablets have near-laptop levels of processing power. Since WiFi is widely accessible and there are many options for free or inexpensive roaming data abroad, the question becomes: What device are you bringing? Here are some great phones, tablets and laptops that are exceptional for travel.
Samsung Galaxy S23
If you’re in the market for the latest and greatest, Samsung’s Galaxy S23 is its newest series of phones. The S23 and S23+ each have three rear-facing cameras including a wide angle, telephoto and main camera with a 50-megapixel sensor for highly detailed images. The larger S23 Ultra has an even higher-capacity 200MP camera and a second telephoto with a 10x optical zoom for close-ups. The fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors ensure you’re never waiting for a sluggish phone to open apps or games. Each screen is 120Hz-refresh OLED, which offers deep blacks, great contrast, vibrant colors and smooth motion.
