If you thought this was crazy, then what on earth is this? That's the weirdest gadget I've ever seen! In front of us are 15 of the latest, craziest smartphone gadgets, each one more impressive than the last.

First up: a wireless charging pad with a twist—it's modular. You can buy up to six separate modular units, each attaching magnetically to the last. A cool concept, but at $30 per pad, isn't it better to buy a charger designed for multiple devices from the start? This one gets a 5 out of 10.

Next, a $600 wireless charger with a frame made of solid aluminum and genuine Alcantara padding. It uses free power technology, charging up to three devices simultaneously, no matter their placement. But, luxury for a wireless charger? At ten times the price of regular chargers, it’s hard to justify. To test it, we'll charge one iPhone on this charger and another on the $30 modular one.

The Echo Show 10 is next. A 10.1-inch smart display with a rotating mechanism and a capable smart speaker that tracks you around the room. It's useful for watching movies or taking calls without propping up your phone. However, the lack of a YouTube app disrupts the hands-free experience.

Smartphone cameras are getting closer to pro cameras, and the motorized slider made for smartphones is a testament to this. It lets you clip your phone and move it for dynamic shots. Despite its one-minute recalibration time, it earns a solid 6 out of 10.

For gadgets that attach to your phone, we have one that lets you stick anything to it. It consists of two pieces of plastic: one attaches to your phone, the other to whatever you want to attach. The clip is so firm that it sometimes tears the glue off the phone.

Prismo, an RGB wireless charger, has a rubberized texture, a solid frame, and rotating LED modes. Not energy-efficient, but definitely cool.

As a massive tea enthusiast, the smart temperature control mug is a delight. It keeps your tea at a perfect temperature for up to an hour and a half or indefinitely on the charging coaster. With features like customizable LEDs and auto shut-off, it gets a 6.9 out of 10.

From Slick, mobile phone accessories we have premium smartphone holders. Well-made, affordable, and available in various designs, they offer reassurance that your mobile phone accessories isn’t going anywhere. However, they do look a bit like dinner trays.

The removal of the headphone jack has led to the creation of high-end DAC headphone adapters. For those using high-quality headphones or high-fidelity music services, this gadget enhances the audio experience.

Smartphone microscopes offer magnification up to 250 times. Despite some fit issues with the larger models, they reveal incredible details, earning them a place in our top gadgets.

The Big Softie is a smartphone flash done right. Easy to mount, control, and charge, it makes a noticeable difference in photo and video quality, especially with front cameras.

The NexDock Touch is an empty laptop powered by your phone. With a touchscreen, it feels more like a supersized smartphone, allowing for tasks like multitasking, full keyboard typing, and even taking selfies with the main camera.

The Storm 2 is a transparent power bank with 27,600 mAh capacity, charging an iPhone 12 Pro Max five times over. It can charge and be charged simultaneously, though the plastic casing feels flexible.

The SuperBase 500 is a power station with 140,000 mAh capacity and the ability to power nine devices simultaneously. It has a display, multiple recharging methods, and is suitable for extreme power users.

Smart shoes that sync with your music let you feel sound through your feet. With a six-hour battery and full control over the intensity, they offer a new dimension to music for those who are moved by it.

Finally, the results of our charging test: The $30 modular charger charged the iPhone to 74%, while the expensive one reached only 51%. This demonstrates why luxury wireless chargers may not be the best choice.
