We updated the 12 Days of Christmas, so you'll be getting the tech gifts you really want
‘Tis the season of giving, and perhaps no song celebrates that better than the classic Christmas carol “The 12 Days of Christmas.” First appearing sometime in the 1700s, the song focuses on the 12 days between Christmas and Jan. 6, when the three kings are said to have arrived with gifts honoring Jesus’ birth. On the list of must-haves back then: partridges, calling birds, and French hens. That’s a lot of birds. (The rings might be nice, but that's beside the point.)
Times have changed, and in honor of our obsession with all things tech, we’ve re-imagined the song with the gear, accessories, and devices that are sure to be on everyone’s list.
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me: An exceptionally smart phone
The Honor 9 takes what it means to be a smart phone to the next level. Using artificial intelligence, the phone learns how you use it thanks to its EMUI 5.1 system and makes adjustments like reallocating memory so that it runs at optimal speed. Another plus: added security. AI helps the phone learn more about your fingerprint every time you unlock the phone using your finger; the result is a device that's harder to breach as time goes on.
On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me: A second great phone option
Thanks to bezel-less screens, mobility doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice screen size. The Honor 7X has an edge-to-edge, bezel-less screen design and the FullView Display makes streaming movies and playing games a quality experience. An 18:9 screen ratio and 5.93” FHD+ display with 2160 X 1080 resolution provides ultra-high definition and excellent display quality.
On the third day of Christmas my true love game to me: Three VR headsets
Virtual reality has been the stuff of science fiction stories for more than half a century, but the technology has finally caught up to the concept. Add headsets to your family’s list and everyone can enjoy immersive storytelling and from the comfort of home.
On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me: Four wireless earphones
Wireless headphones are a staple for music and entertainment fans — and anyone who loves organization and clean lines. A quality sound experience combined with beautiful design will appeal to most people of any age on your list. And the Honor 7X’s cutting-edge Histen 3D sound technology will make the experience even better, immersing you in brilliant sound.
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love game to me: Five car mounts
If you want to play music through your car speakers or use the GPS capabilities of your phone, get a sturdy car mount so you can use your phone hands-free. Remember that it's unsafe to drive while distracted, so make sure you keep your eyes on the road, knowing that your phone is secure and doing its job properly.
On the sixth day of Christmas my true love game to me: Six tripods
Yes, there are phone tripods. And with the amazing 20 MP monochrome lens on the Honor 9's camera, you'll definitely want one — or six. Whatever the occasion, you know you'll capture steady, crystal clear shots of your experiences with this accessory.
On the seventh day of Christmas my true love game to me: Seven drones
Drones are a great toy for adult tech-enthusiasts. They're fun to fly and can help you see the world from a different perspective via their in-flight cameras. After all, why let the kids have all the fun?
On the eighth day of Christmas my true love game to me: Eight smart home devices
Whether you love smart lighting, enjoy the comfort of a smart thermostat, or want the security of smart locks, there's a smart home device for everyone. Since smart home devices connect to our phones, you'll have the ability to control your home and environment from the palm of your hand even when you're remote.
On the ninth day of Christmas my true love game to me: Nine portable chargers
Can you ever have enough chargers? The answer is most definitely, no. It's great to have the security of a charger that works without an outlet. The Honor 7x has abundant battery life, even with a larger FullView Display, a single charge of the 3,340 mAh battery enables you to use for more than one full day. So it's just great to have for emergencies or travel.
On the tenth day of Christmas my true love game to me: Ten e-books
Scour the best-seller and independent publisher lists and treat yourself to the stories that are shaping our culture. Load up your phone with e-books for easy access and transform your commute from the worst part of your day to the best. With Honor 7X’s eye comfort mode, you can enjoy a high-quality display while protecting your eyes when reading.
On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love game to me: Eleven mobile games
Not only will you have room on the phone for all of these games, but you'll also be impressed by how the Honor 7x presents them to you. Its FullView Display allows you to see 13% more than your rivals. The more you see, the faster and sooner you can move.
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love game to me: Twelve months of a streaming service
Everyone is streaming everything now. From movies to TV to music, we get everything through these monthly services. Whatever your entertainment preferences, the Honor 7X is capable of bringing the show to us on a beautiful, powerful machine that can really add the magic to a holiday. The 18:9 screen ratio of Honor 7X is close to the 21:9 ratio used by cinemas. It fully utilizes the screen to deliver you an excellent movie experience.
