Technological progress is moving fast, and more and more companies start producing innovative "smart" gadgets. However, not all technological novelties should be purchased immediately after their appearance on the market, since there is a high probability of encountering technical or operational problems.
VR systems
Several largest companies including Google, Samsung, HTC, and Sony have developed unique projects of virtual reality devices. However, despite the massive growing interest in this technology, novelties enthusiasts should wait before buying VR headset or glasses. The reason is there is not enough VR-specific content. The list of games and applications developed for the VR headset is small enough, and your new gadget may be useless.
Smart appliances
Smart appliances have got the buyers' sympathy quite quickly. A lot of large companies, such as LG, Samsung, and Whirlpool, are all duking it out to create smart refrigerators, washing machines, and smart-home systems.

Smart speakers
The main function of all smart speakers is to help their owner on a domestic basis: informing about weather and traffic jams, reminding about an important event, ordering goods or services, etc. However, do not rush to purchase such personal assistant: the device often does not recognize Russian language and some functions are not supported in many CIS countries. Moreover, many users complain about the internal problems of the gadget itself: software errors and issues with playing music are observed quite often.
iPhone X
The jubilee smartphone by Apple has gained frenzied popularity in many countries in a short time. However, many experts consider the cost of the iPhone X unjustifiably excessive due to some obvious drawbacks, such as the unstable operation of the innovative face recognition sensor, slow wireless charging, glass body, which is not resistant to impacts, and also lack of ability to protect themselves from surveillance by special services through the front-facing camera.The United Nations has released fresh data on the most populous cities in the world.
