Summer is a good time to notice what’s new. While some of us were enjoying a quieter season, the tech world didn’t stop moving. From foldable phones to AI tools that genuinely make life easier, here are a few of the gadgets and trends that have stood out this year so far.
Rokid AR Lite Glasses
These affordable AR glasses open up training, virtual meetings, and product demos in a way that used to need enterprise budgets. Also, turn anywhere you look into a full workspace, cool! For SMEs, it’s a glimpse of what’s coming — without the sci-fi price tag.
Roborock Saros 10
Robotic cleaners aren’t new, but this year’s high end models are far, far, far smarter. They map rooms, dodge obstacles, can be controlled via app and now they mop! — a neat way for businesses to keep offices tidy without lifting a finger.
Motorola Razr Ultra 2025
The flip phone is back, but better. Whilst Apple are promising a folding phone soon we love the flip style phone for the early 00s nostalgia they bring. The new Razr combines the nostalgia of a pocket-sized handset with the power of a full mobile workstation. For anyone juggling client calls and emails on the go, it’s a blend of style and productivity.
Sit-Stand Desks
Standing desks have transformed the modern workspace in 2025, offering seamless switching between sitting and standing modes at the touch of a button. These smart desks feature programmable height presets so you can easily swap between sitting and standing. With sleek, minimalist designs and integrated tech, sit-stand desks are not just ergonomic—they’re a statement that your business values innovation and healthy work habits – plus you can get electric ones from just £59.

ChatGPT For Your Personal Life!
It’s not just for work. We’ve seen more people using ChatGPT to organise everyday life — from planning holidays to sorting weekly meal ideas. With the new agent mode, it goes a step further: the AI can run ongoing tasks in the background like fill your Tesco basket, nudging you about deadlines, remembering your lists, and even helping manage projects over time. Think of it less as a search box, and more like a digital assistant that actually keeps up with you.
MagicPlan
Planning an office reshuffle or a refurb at home? MagicPlan creates floor plans using nothing more than your phone’s camera. It’s quick, accurate, and saves a lot of faff with tape measures. The free plan is just about enough to scan your whole house.
Bear (The Writing App)
Sometimes simplicity wins. Bear strips out the distractions and helps business owners, managers. A staff member alerted me to how they use this for their personal planning, keeping their notes tidy or sketch ideas. It’s a gorgeous way to simplify.
Mark Williams, our Head of Client Relations, put it:
“The tech that really matters is the stuff that makes life easier for businesses. Whether it’s keeping staff productive, reducing downtime, or cutting out wasted effort — that’s where the real value is.”
Summer might nearly be over, but these innovations are a sign of what small businesses can take advantage of as we head into autumn and beyond.
