While we frequently highlight what lands in your shopping carts throughout the year in our regular What Readers Bought series, it\u2019s worth taking a step back to look at the bigger picture and broader purchasing trends that have shaped the year as a whole.<\/p>\n
Here at HardwareZone, our team has spent some time crunching the numbers to find out which were the bestsellers of 2025, based on transactions via our story links, deal recommendations, and those shared by the community in the forum. Here is what we found…<\/p>\n
Bestseller of the year<\/h2>\n
Released earlier mid-2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 quickly rose to the top, earning its place as the bestseller of the year. <\/p>\n
The Switch 2 built upon what players loved about the original Switch while delivering meaningful hardware and software upgrades. Its launch brought renewed excitement to both longtime Nintendo fans and first-time Switch owners alike. <\/p>\n

Nintendo Switch 2<\/h3>\n
$672.00<\/b> The Nintendo Switch 2<\/p>\n Image: Shopee<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n This year\u2019s bestsellers came from all corners, with no single category completely dominating user interests. While different items trended every month, there were some all-time favourites throughout the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n The weather in Singapore is hot! Hot! HOT!<\/p>\n Turns out that the top few bestsellers this year aren\u2019t flashy gadgets or luxury upgrades, but are \u2018tools for survival\u2019. Exaggeration aside, most Singaporeans (our forum chatter will no doubt bring these angles out every time without fail) will agree that dehumidifiers, air purifiers and portable fans are increasingly becoming necessities in our daily life, and it wasn\u2019t surprising that these are highly sought-after purchases. When the air is humid, the sun relentless, and even standing outside for barely a minute gets you drenched, staying cool becomes a top priority.<\/p>\n Want to stay cool?

Meanwhile the SPIGEN Case for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/b> was popular as well, proving that everyday protection is just as important as style and also signalling that many of our readers might have pre-ordered the phone early, but chanced upon our recommendations to better protect their new investment. <\/p>\n $89.59<\/b> The Spigen case for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/p>\n Image: Lazada<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n $1,699.00<\/b><\/p>\n The Xiaomi 15 Ultra<\/p>\n Image: Shopee<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n With more devices to power and busier days on the go, having a reliable source of battery life becomes less of a backup plan and more of a necessity. Portable chargers made their mark this year with a diverse range of options flying off the shelves, from slim and sleek designs like the Zendure SuperMini to laptop power banks like the Baseus Blade, staying fully charged is at the top of our reader\u2019s minds.
