DIGITAL CAMERAS
Before now,Private Individuals own a digital camera which they use often in events to capture the exciting and ecstasic moments.Right Now,whoever owns a digital camera is either a professional photographer or a fan of photography.The Tecno "CAMON" series have done well to make our photography better on phone.

invest in a wrist watch and you don't use it?! One of the wrong usage of the word "investment".

Opinionated:
Smartphones are powerful computers that we carry in our pocket. Nowadays, it supports different type of tools for every purpose. You can perform different tasks on our smartphones like summoning a cab to go to work, ordering food, reading news and staying in touch with our friends. At the same time, your smartphones have killed some certain gadgets. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency shares gadgets your smartphone has killed.

Wrist watch


Analogue watch has now become a fashion accessory. You will meet people who wear a watch, but still, they check the time on their smartphone. Nowadays, smartphones are used to do lots of things and checking the time is one of them. So, smartphones are also replacing the analogue watch.

GPS navigation systems

If you struggle to find directions, you can easily use your phone to locate wherever you are going. This is because smartphones have GPS facilities. You do not need GPS navigation systems.

Radio

Those days are gone when people used to buy a box to listen to the radio. Since there is now a radio feature on their smartphone, the good old radio is now irrelevant.

Digital Cameras

Carrying a pocket-sized digital camera was previously considered as a cool thing. However, smartphones have replaced the digital cameras because your smartphone camera offers even better shots these cameras.

Alarm clock

The Alarm clock is completely dead because smartphones have definitely replaced them. You can simply set alarm on your phone.

MP3 Player

MP3 players were popular for playing music. Today, smartphones offer massive internal and external storage which is enough space for storing unlimited music. Hence, you do not need the MP3 Player.

I disagree.
wristwatch? like really? people who wear watches know that they are irreplaceable. some people wear theirs to sleep, when unsure of the time, they reflexively look at their wrist. Would a nurse or a soldier replace their watches with their phones? or is it in every environment it is appropriate to bring out your phones.

Digital cameras - You have no idea whatsoever on what digital cameras are, so I'll move on quickly. Smartphones saved us the fees for scanning documents, so you can easily scan on the go.

Alarm clock ? yes. now antiquated.

mp3 players, yes too. Now irrelevant .

GPS navigational systems? like really? smartphone replacing GPS? Do you people even go to school sef? this is wrong in its entirety.

Finally Radio, my favorite. Here, you're wrong. A radio is a very very important accessory that every person must have, especially an analog radio with at least 12-Bands. Someday you'd be stuck someplace and you seem cut off from the world, or there could be an emergency and radio silence enforced, but with a SW radio , you can hear news and information from anywhere in the world. Your smartphone cannot do that without data. Our father's didn't have internet, that was their internet.

you should post informed opinion next time

Phone GPS is shi.t!
It may not be as good as the REAL thing,but the BEST GPS or Camera is still the One you have with YOU at ALL times and for that REASON,Smartphones TOTALLY replaced these items..or are you going to suspend taking THAT perfect Opportune picture until you can go and grab your Digital Camera..

1.For MOST people having a Phone have precluded them from owning a timepiece since that is their primary reason for owning a Watch,the LAST time I EVER bothered buying a Watch was 12 years ago,coincidentally that was the first time I BOUGHT a Phone..
2.A Smartphone'Camera may never be as good as a Digital Camera but THAT is the Camera the Average Person is most likely to have with him when the opportune scene presents itself..the BEST Camera is still the One you have with YOU at ALL times..
3.Just like the Digital Camera,a Smartphone's GPS might be ALL the Common person has to rely on for Navigation in most Circumstances and may be all the GPS he needs..
4.On the issue of Radio,most people find a phones FM radio more than enough for their everyday needs on the go..
In as much as the Smartphone cannot replace the Hardcore utility of these devices,for the MOST part it replaces the EVERYDAY needs of MOST people for them..

Wrist watch? Not at all.. Wrist watch is used as a jewelry and for time checking.. So, I and billions of people still use their wristwatch everyday.. In fact, it's more easier to view time on your wrist than dipping your hand in your pocket..

Abeg ee, which mumu camon series, is it the cx whose front camera is suffering from over exposure and very very poor depth of field?
As for wristwatch, i always wear one, it's easier to take a look at my left wrist than to take out my phone from my pocket especially under sun
Re: 6 Gadgets Your Smartphone Has Made Irrelevant by MichaelSokoto(m): 5:57pm On Aug 15, 2017

Re: 6 Gadgets Your Smartphone Has Made Irrelevant by Nobody: 7:02pm On Aug 15, 2017
I beg to disagree on the wrist watch, cos I'm so used to my wrist watch that I unconsciously look at my wrist even when I don't have my watch on when I want to check time.. This should also happen to you a times if you're truthful to yourself

To me, GPS navigator is not made irrelevant because I have one app on my phone. A navigator is so important that I had to buy a cheap for about $120 some months back. If you are in a new city and you don't know your way around, don't rely on your smartphone, get a functional GPS navigator.

Professional photographers don't rely on their smartphone to take pictures, they get those expensive Cameras. It makes a lot of difference.

That is because ur note 8 is recent, get a recent digital camera, and compare both. Digital are designed mainly to snap, not an added feature, so phones cant do better, xcept u r usin an old digital camera

Lol, not every one feel comfortable bringing out there phones to check the time. In most situation wristwatch is best at checking time.

Im laughing at the guys above that don't agree...
What do know about gadgets.
Which smartphone has a shortwave radio band?
Which smartphone that can capture stunning pictures, like Nikon, Zenith and Canon cameras.?
Which smartphone can keep time to a split second like Rolex, Piaget, Longines etc and withstand 100meters underwater dive test? Or that can be ran over by a military tank? My Breitling watch has been ticking since 10 years till date.
