Multiple electronics were presented to the technology world in 2012, and many people were able to gift them over the holiday season.

           After the holiday season ended, Yahoo released the top five most popular electronics that were purchased. The top seller was the Samsung Galaxy S3, following right behind were the Nikon Coolpix 38ooc, the Vizio Camera, the Apple iPhone 5, and finally the Sonos play 3.
Over the last decade electronics have made drastic changes. With a variety of new phones, game consoles, etc, Apple, the top electronic company in the world, has made people’s daily lives much easier.
Many students have these devices, such as Dan Ferraro purchasing the iPhone 5 to enjoy iTunes music.

“The reason I got the phone is due to how easy it is to transfer music from iTunes to the iPhone,” mentioned Ferraro. “My old phone was just a hassle, but not anymore. There’s so much more stuff to do on the iPhone 5.”

With his new phone, he can surf the internet and play many more types of games.

Another student with the number one selling item over the holiday season is Michael Spadafore with the Samsung Galaxy S3.

“The Samsung Galaxy is a lot more customizable than the iPhone and much more reliant,” said Spadafore.

Also on the charts for top electronics was the Nikon Coolpix 38ooc camera.

Photography teacher Wade Bowers works with cameras a lot throughout the year and has used the Nikon Coolpix brand.

“The Nikon Coolpix 38ooc is one of Nikon’s top quality cameras and is light and compact,” said Bowers. “The reason people were buying these cameras… [was] due to how inexpensive it was compared to other competitor’s products.”

    Other top holiday electronics included the Vizio Camera, which is a device used to video chat other people face-to-face using Skype, Oovoo, and other apps. Many customers making reviews of this product were pleased with their purchase and plan to use it often, according to the Vizio website’s customer reviews.
Another top item was the Sonos Play 3 speakers. Sonos is one of the top brands that sell this type of sound system. Consumers who bought this product were impressed with how the product works and turned out and the cost was efficient, according to the  Sonos website’s customer reviews.
