The imaging capabilities of many smartphones may now rival dedicated cameras, but their ergonomics do not. Belkin's PowerGrip solves that with a DSLR-style grip on one end giving you a secure way to hold your smartphone while taking pictures, even with your phone in portrait mode. The PowerGrip also has its own shutter button, positioned on the top edge of the grip so it sits beneath your finger, that snaps images using a Bluetooth connection to your phone.
The upcoming iQOO 15 is expected to launch at some point this month, and the brand has recently confirmed a few more of its specs. First of all, the iQOO 15 will have wireless charging, unlike its predecessors. This was long rumored to arrive in the next generation, but it's great to finally have official confirmation as well. Next up, the phone comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, along with a new generation ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that should be even faster
You've been doing it for years with your phone. You walk into your home, drop it on a little pad by your keys, and it just starts charging. No fumbling with a frayed cable in the dark, no wrestling with a plug that only fits one way. It's a tiny, elegant convenience that has become second nature. Now, imagine that same seamless experience for the two-ton electric vehicle sitting in your garage. You pull in, park, and walk away. That's it. The car is charging.
It's not an entirely new idea given Nomad's Universal Cable from earlier this year can charge an Apple Watch and an additional device at the same time, but Zens' new Pro 2 and Pro 3 USB-C cables offer additional functionality and some welcome future-proofing as chargers become more powerful. The cheaper of the two is the €49.99 (around $58) Pro 2 USB-C charging cable that includes an inline Qi2 charging puck that can wirelessly charge a smartphone or earbuds at up to 15W speeds.
The most tangible hardware addition across the lineup, in fact, is completely invisible: a set of magnets beneath the phones' back panels. With the new Pixelsnap system, Google is the first major Android manufacturer to finally catch up to Apple's MagSafe. Apple launched its magnetic wireless charging system on the iPhone 12 range in 2020, and it's quietly become one of the best things about using an iPhone.
The Powerab travel adapter utilizes 5th Generation GaN technology to deliver 140W of power in a compact form, enhancing portability and efficiency.
The MagGo 3-in-1 wireless foldable charger makes charging my iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods Pro a breeze, and its bite-sized form factor is the best option I've tried for power and practicality.
The iPhone 17 Pro's reverse wireless charging capability allows it to act as a portable charging pad for accessories like AirPods and Apple Watch, streamlining power management.
A great phone case, like the TORRAS Ostand OFitness, offers exceptional protection while enhancing functionality with ergonomic design, faster charging, and a built-in stand.
