Plenty of great tech deals out there this Christmas for the gadget lover in your life.

As Christmas starts to come (alarmingly fast) around the corner, the time has come to start thinking about presents.

We’ve teamed up with Mintplus.ie to help make things easier this year. Be it a pre-owned iPad or a brand-new VR headset you’re after, everything comes with the peace of mind of a one-year warranty.

While some of their stuff is brand-new, all of their pre-owned products are subject to rigorous inspection, so rest assured you’re never losing anything in the way of quality! Mint+ pre-owned phones are available in retailers across Ireland including Harvey Norman, DID Electrical, Vodafone and many more.

If you want to avoid forcing your loved ones to feign delight after receiving a pair of socks and a can of deodorant for the 15th year in a row, we strongly suggest taking a look at their tech deals below.

Mint+ iPhone 8 64GB

Over two years after its initial release, the iPhone 8 still absolutely holds its own. The 12MP rear camera with 4K video recording is incredibly vibrant and crisp, and its sleek design looks just as good now as it ever did.

Plus, the fact that it’s splash and water resistant makes it one of the most durable iPhones ever made.

From: €419 (RRP €449)

 

Price: €329

Samsung Gear VR Lite Headset

Imagine this:

It’s Christmas Day, roughly 8pm. While everyone else has fallen asleep watching Willy Wonka, you get to pop on your VR headset and immerse yourself in a 360° virtual experience.

Price: €100

Apple AirPods with Charging Case

Not only are they as slick as they come, but AirPods make it so incredibly simple to listen to music without so much as a single wire. Simply pop these bad boys (which weigh about as much as three paper clips) out of the box, and put them back in when you’re done to let them charge.

What’s more, a mere 15 minutes of charging in the box will earn you up to three hours of listening time!

Price: €169.99

Mint+ iPad Mini 4 128GB

The best thing about the iPad Mini 4 is that it’s the lightest iPad money can buy. Without sacrificing any of the battery power and durability of what you’d expect, its sleek and lightweight design makes it very easy to carry around.

Fitbit Ace 2 Activity Tracker

This would be an absolutely brilliant present for kids that can help motivate them to become more active. Or at the very least let you marvel at how many steps they take every day as they zoom about the place.

Price: €80

Samsung Galaxy S9+ 64GB

If you’ve never bought a pre-owned phone before, we’re going to guess it was mostly down to trust. This Samsung S9 went through rigorous testing before going up for sale, and comes with a one-year guarantee to boot.

That’s before we even mention how solid a phone the S9+ is. With a fantastic battery life and camera capable of taking incredible photos in just about any lighting conditions, you’d be hard set to find a better bargain!

Price: €449 (RRP €869)

Beats EP on-ear headphones

When you’re listening to music, you want to have the best experience possible. Beats headphones are known the world over for delivering music the way it was meant to be heard, and these over-ear ones are certainly no exception.

Durable and lightweight, they come with a microphone receiver on the wire that allows you to take phone calls uninterrupted.

Price: €69.95 (RRP €139)

Samsung Galaxy Watch 42mm

This gorgeous watch would look just as good with a tux as it would in your running gear. From monitoring your activities to letting you take phone calls and texts, it makes just about every part of your day that bit easier.

Price: €339
