If you’re on the hunt for the most exciting new gadgets, you’re in luck. Finding them isn’t hard when you know exactly where to look (hint: right here). This month, my Latest and Greatest picks from Best Buy Canada are about staying in or heading out, depending on where life takes you. Plus, I also feature the latest Roku TV and Nothing Phone, which you can find exclusively at Best Buy. Discover your next favourite tech and check out our featured list.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 marks the most significant hardware change for this foldable, going back at least a few years. Just 8.9mm thin compared to the Fold6’s 12.1mm, it feels even slimmer when unfolding it (only 4.2mm thin) to view the larger 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display. That also makes it lighter at 216g and easier to pocket. Plus, the improved 21:9 aspect ratio on the 6.5-inch cover screen helps improve usability on that front, too. The downside? No S Pen support for the Main Screen this time around.
Another improvement comes from the 200-megapixel main camera—the same one from the Galaxy S25 Ultra—for more premium image quality. Don’t expect the same results from the other two rear cameras, which are the same as previous Fold models. The Fold7 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor with 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage. If you’re interested, consider getting a case with a magnetic mount to use MagSafe accessories with it—a first for any Samsung foldable.
Nothing Phone 3
Available exclusively at Best Buy Canada, the Nothing Phone 3 is the company’s first flagship phone, sporting a unique semi-transparent back and small, quirky round display called Glyph Matrix that shows notifications, battery status, and mini-games.
The cameras can produce quality images in a variety of situations, sometimes outclassing photos you see from other brands. Nothing OS is a slick overlay on top of Android to give the software its own distinct look, and you can expect five years of Android updates with seven years of security updates. If you’re looking for something different, this is a worthwhile choice.
Shokz OpenDots ONE
Open-ear earbuds usually come with ear hook designs yet the Shokz OpenDots ONE buck the trend by using a clip-on mechanism that steers clear of the ear’s upper helix. Instead, they clip on to the lower part near the lobe and settle in over the inner ear’s concha. If you wear glasses, this should be a welcome change, though if you have multiple piercings, you might want to try them on first. One cool thing about them is that there are no dedicated left and right channels. Put them on the “wrong” ear and the built-in sensors will reorient the sound properly anyway.
While onboard controls are limited, you can expect excellent sound quality—including solid bass—to come through. Plus, privacy comes into play with a solid ability to muffle sound leakage so that no one really knows what music you’re listening to or who you’re talking to on a call. They work just fine with either iOS or Android, so no worries there. Reliable battery life should keep you going for about 8-10 hours per charge, while the charging case gives you an extra three full charges.
Amazfit Helio Strap
Wait, where’s the screen? There isn’t one, and that’s the gist behind the Amazfit Helio Strap smart band, a fitness tracker that purely focuses on performance and health metrics. By taking away the screen, there are no distractions, no notifications to look at, no apps to use. It’s just you and your workout. Wear it on your wrist, forearm or bicep—providing some flexibility in where it fits best.
Without a screen, you need to sync with the Zepp app to see metrics like heart rate, SpO2, stress, sleep, VO2 Max, training load, and recovery time. If you want heart rate data to work with other devices, it’s possible to broadcast it to supported third-party devices and fitness apps. All of the Helio Strap’s data slides into BioCharge, Amazfit’s own system for determining energy levels for the day ahead.
Roku Select Series Smart TV
Roku TVs has been around for a while as a popular TV OS—it’s just that the TVs themselves were made by other brands. The new Roku Select Series is all Roku, a line of budget-friendly smart TVs ranging from 43-inch to 75-inch models. Available only at Best Buy, these are 4K TVs with HDR10+ support, and Roku’s own Smart Picture tech to adjust visual settings on the fly. While the 43-inch is an LCD panel, all the other TV sizes have QLED panels.
You get to enjoy Roku’s own smart TV platform for streaming content, as that carries on here, including a voice remote. All of the Select Series TVs support Apple AirPlay for added convenience in streaming content from your iPhone, iPad, or MacBook.
Segway E3 Electric Scooter
Segway E3 is a premium electric scooter that lets you zip around the city in style. It can go pretty fast at up to 32km/h with a battery range of about 30km in Sport mode at a steady cruising speed of 25km/h. If you roll with Eco mode instead, you can stretch it out to 45km—so long as you stick to 15km/h or slower. Wherever you go should feel good on your feet considering the acceleration, stability, and traction involved.
It may not be the lightest to carry around weighing 38.5lbs but it does fold up nicely when you want to take it on a road trip. The Segway app is there if you want to track your riding history and set up Guard mode to ward off theft. And if you want to track the scooter itself for any reason, set up Find My on your iPhone.
