Ken’s top picks at Comex 2022

Trying to make your home a smart one? Here's some smart gadgets from Comex 2022 to get you started.

Let’s be honest. No matter how hard we tried to kid ourselves, we missed being able to physically interact with the gadgets and more at tech shows like Comex 2022. And now, after a Covid-19 enforced hiatus, Comex returns from 1 to 4 September, in all its glory to the Suntec Convention Centre.

As tech has evolved, so has Comex 2022. No long just filled with tech and gadgets, it has electric cars, smart appliances, and even an eSports festival!

On this first day of Comex 2022, I made my way down to the show to breathe in the rarefied air that has been missing for so long, and to take advantage of the bargains and deals!

The following list of eye-catching items are those that caught my eye on the show floor. Listed in alphabetical order, the items represent some of the items I wish I’d been allowed to buy.

Note that the deals on the show floor may differ from what is listed here as pricing and availability could change on a day-to-day basis. You can also check out the brochures we have on our Tech Show Portal for more content and prices.
