<p>This may rip the stocking a bit thanks to its size and weight, but if you want to get a good projector experience from a small form factor, a few sacrifices have to be made. The device comes with Android TV 11, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It has two 8W speakers and can beam out 400 ISO lumens. This means it&rsquo;s too bright, but in a dark enough room, it should be able to project a decent 200-inch picture. Android TV means this thing comes with Chromecast and Google Assistant built-in.<br />Xgimi MoGo 2, Rs 34,999</p>
<h2>For those VR connoisseurs</h2>

Note that they don&rsquo;t sit flush against your face, unlike like real glasses.&nbsp;<br />Xreal Air Glasses, Rs 46,999</p>

<p>Digital photos captured by your phone miss that tactile feel you get from a real printed picture. The Kodak Mini Shot 2 is a digital camera with a built-in photo printer.

You get a cute 2.1x3.4-inch picture, and the camera comes bundled with 68 sheets for your first few pictures. Unlike inkjet printers, these use a 4-pass tech to print CYMK (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, and Black) colours with every pass. The result is a crisp photo that feels like it was developed in a professional photo studio.&nbsp;<br />Kodak Mini Shot 2, Rs 12,199</p>
