While iPhones might be the biggest selling phone brand in the US, the compatibility to use Android devices with a wider range of accessories and gadgets is certainly appealing. But how do you know which devices work with Android, and which are the best to purchase as a gift for an Android owner?

From smartwatches to charging cables, thankfully there are plenty of options out there, saving you hours of research when it comes to picking the best gift for Android fans.

Here are the best gift ideas for Android users available today.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is a great choice for most Android users who are looking to combine smartwatch features with fitness, health, and more. Not only does this watch look stylish, but it boasts a wealth of features that can help you monitor certain aspects of your life, like sleep, stress, and blood oxygen levels. On top of that, it works as a smartwatch, allowing you to make calls, send text messages, and stream your favorite music.

From swimming to golf, you can make the most out of your workouts with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4's Auto Workout Tracking. It will detect the type of exercise or sport you're doing, and monitor the information that matters. With an IP68 rating and materials that have been military-grade tested, you'll be able to put yourself and your watch through its paces without worry.

However, despite there being a plethora of enticing features, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 does limit many of its most popular features to Samsung smartphone users. While it's compatible with most Android devices, you won't be able to use the ECG or blood pressure monitors, among other key features without a Samsung-compatible phone.

2. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro

Read Reviews

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro is essentially the equivalent to Android users as the Apple AirPods are to iPhone users. Like the AirPods, they boast up to five hours of battery life and come in at a more affordable price than the Galaxy Buds 2, while still offering some great features.

These earbuds have been designed to complement users who already own a Samsung phone; they feature hands-free Bixby support and pair with the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app. However, much like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro do work with Android devices running Android 7.0 or later, but won't make the most out of all their features unless you have a Samsung smartphone.

But, aside from compatibility, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro uses Samsung's proprietary Scalable Audio, supporting up to 24-bit UHQ audio over Bluetooth. They fit well into most people's ears, work comfortably during exercise, and can be charged wirelessly in the included charging case.

Do you have friends or family who tend to lose their keys, wallet, and other devices? For Android users, the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag is a handy way to keep tabs (literally) on the things you love. Using the SmartTag along with a Samsung Galaxy phone, you can track lost items up to 130 yards away using the Galaxy Find Network.

However, as you might have guessed by the compatible apps, the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag only works with Galaxy devices using Android 8.0 or higher, with at least 2GB of RAM. In addition to this, you'll need to install the SmartThings app to be able to track lost items using SmartThings Find.

As long as your device meets the requirements, the benefits of the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag are pretty eye-opening. Even if your tagged item is out of range, you can use previously scanned data to locate the history of your keys, wallet, or even your pet, in the hope you'll be able to retrace it.
