Top Gadget Review KOLs in Indonesia (2026)

By Hanif, founder of Banxers ·

Gadget review is the most launch-driven vertical in Indonesian creator marketing: every phone release is a campaign, and a handful of reviewers set the narrative for the whole market within 48 hours. This directory covers the pure review scene; the AI-and-productivity side of tech lives in its own directory. As of August 2026.

GadgetIn (David Brendi)

The market mover. Millions of subscribers and the first review most Indonesians watch before buying a phone - clear verdicts, fast turnarounds, and a reach that makes launch-day coverage here a de facto requirement for major brands.

Jagat Review

Around 2.5M YouTube subscribers and the vertical's technical conscience: benchmarks, deep dives and PC coverage that enthusiast buyers treat as the final word.

Sobat HAPE

Mid-range phone territory - the segment where most Indonesian buyers actually shop - covered with a value-for-money lens that maps to how the mass market decides.

Dedy Irvan

One of the longest-standing voices in Indonesian tech review; depth and institutional memory the newer channels build on.

Putu Reza

Tech-lifestyle crossover - gadgets in the context of daily carry, productivity and design, reaching audiences who buy tech but don't watch benchmarks.

Launch-campaign notes for brands

  • The first 48 hours set the narrative: coverage embargoes and review-unit logistics matter as much as the fee.
  • Verdict credibility is the product - channels that clearly separate ads from reviews retain the influence you're paying for.
  • Mid-range launches often earn better ROI from segment specialists than from the biggest general channel.
