Father's Day 2020 is scheduled to take place on Sunday, June 21. While there are plenty of gifting options out there, in the fast-moving tech world, a lot of us want our parents to enter the new age. It is not just to make them look cool in front of others but it is because these gadgets, in a few ways, make lives easier and help live a healthy life.

Airtel Xstream Stick
Airtel Xstream Stick runs on Android TV.
During the lockdown, a lot of us stopped watching the regular TV channels in favour of multiple OTT platforms. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ Hotstar have a lot of TV shows and movies on offer that one can binge-watch. However, it gets quite difficult at times to stream these services on a laptop or a phone. Not everyone has a smartTV installed at their home.
The Airtel XStream Stick is the perfect solution to this problem. The device basically connects on your TV’s HDMI port and turns it into a smartTV. With the help of the Airtel Xstream stick, your father will be able to binge-watch content on Netflix, YouTube, Zee5 and a lot of other OTT platforms. It is available just for Rs. 3,999.

AMX is an Indian startup that has changed the way we used to look at premium smartphone accessories. The company has a huge portfolio of chargers, cables and other mobile accessories. The two products we found the most interesting were the AMX Beam X and the AMX XP 60.
AMX Beam X is a wireless charger that can charge any Qi-compatible device like the new iPhone SE, Samsung Galaxy S20 series and more. AMX XP 60, when used with a Power Delivery cable, can even charge the new MacBooks and smartphones at high speeds. The Beam X is available with a price tag of Rs. 1,499 and the XP 60 costs Rs. 1,499.
