The Supertiny is as small as your Airpods case, fitting in your palm or even your pocket. It comes in three global plug formats and packs a single USB-C port to supercharge your laptop.
Batteries in electric vehicles that regularly use 100-plus-kilowatts fast chargers degrade faster than those that rely primarily on slow charging, a new study suggests. Using fast chargers more frequently can cause some packs to lose nearly a quarter of their capacity in eight years, it claims. We've seen other studies suggest that fast charging has little impact on long-term battery health, so it's not a settled debate.
EDC used to mean something very specific. Ask any survival enthusiast and they'll tell you it stands for EveryDay Carry, the essential tools you keep on hand at all times. A Swiss Army knife. A multi-tool. A compact flashlight. Things built for the unpredictable, the inconvenient, and the emergency. The whole point was physical survival, and the design language to match: rugged, matte, built to last.
On a full charge, the phone can play BGMI for nearly 12 hours straight. Or you can watch YouTube videos for over 32 hours. Other things you can do on a single charge - you can use navigation for over 21 hours or record 4K video for 12 hours. That is, if you start at 100%. However, the battery is so massive that even at just 5% left, you can still do nearly 4 hours of voice calls or SatNav for over an hour.
There are a few things that I look for in a decent portable power bank. First, it has to do what it says on the box. If the battery capacity and power outputs aren't to spec, I don't want it. On top of that, wireless charging is a nice touch, as is a built-in cable. This is exactly what the Cuktech 10,000mAh power bank offers.
OnePlus unveiled its current flagship, the OnePlus 15, in October last year. Although the launch of its successor is still some time away, leaks have already begun to surface online. The latest leak hints at the phone's battery capacity. The OnePlus 16 will house a large 9,000mAh battery, according to a tipster. Notably, its predecessor, the 15, comes with a 7,300mAh unit with 120W fast charging support.
Xiaomi's flagship 17 series is due to get a new member soon, according to a new leak from China. This will be the Xiaomi 17 Max, which will feature the biggest battery of any Xiaomi 17 device at 8,000 mAh. The battery will support 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. The Xiaomi 17 Max is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, and has a screen with extremely narrow symmetrical bezels.
Apple introduced MagSafe wireless charging in 2020 with the iPhone 12 series. In contrast to regular wireless charging, it uses magnets rather than relying on manual alignment between the charging coils or on gravity to keep the phone and charger together. It is a simple, cheap and effective solution. So why is it that smartphone makers have been so reluctant to adopt it, even years after the Qi standard officially added a Magnetic Charging Profile?
Redmi has shared fresh details about its upcoming Turbo 5 Max smartphone and also unveiled the phone's design. The company recently confirmed that the phone will be powered by the recently launched MediaTek Dimensity 9500s SoC. In a Weibo post, the company revealed that the Turbo 5 Max will pack a 9,000mAh battery. Alongside confirming the phone's battery capacity, Redmi also shared the official design renders of the phone in the Ocean Breeze Blue colorway.
As an avid iPad user, I'm all too familiar with the internal struggles that course through me when the battery is about to die. I love using either the iPad 11 or iPad Air to write and work, but I also use it to stream content, play games, and browse the internet after work. This makes me appreciate the iPad's long battery life, yet my anxiety grows when I start getting 'low battery' alerts without a charger nearby.
The Snap-n-Charge is small as power banks go, and only 3,200 mAh/16 Wh. This is good enough for a quick top-up of a smartphone or headphones. And a top-up is what you get -- the capacity is enough for about a 50% top-up for a smartphone or portable speaker, or about three or four recharges of earbuds or headphones. The power bank is housed in a polymer shell that shrugs off impacts and damage from being rattled around pockets and bags with things like keys.
