Tech devices I rely on for my summertime fun
Summer is about adventures without tech, but that doesn't mean you should just leave all your gadgets behind.
When the weather turns warm as we enter summer, many of us spend a lot more time outside. Whether that's going to concerts, hiking, playing sports, camping, or just cookouts at home, our daily habits shift for a while. But even with this added time spent outdoors, we've become so accustomed to having technology and gadgets around that we still tend to find ways to incorporate them into our summer activities.
Google fixes battery drain issue on Pixel phones, says affected devices will return to normal "immediately"
You may have noticed major battery drain problems on your Pixel handset recently, but a fix is now out.
Google's latest lineup of Pixel devices was announced just a few days ago during its I/O 2023 conference. Although the Pixel Fold turned out to be a disappointment in our early impressions, the Pixel Tablet, as well as the standard Pixel 7 and 7a, are quite impressive. In fact, we have also talked in length about how the lines between the latter two handsets are getting blurry, and it's difficult to choose between one or the other.

EU proposes regulation to make phone and laptop batteries easier to replace
It could force OEMs to bring back user-replaceable batteries
After implementing a new law to make USB-C the standard charging port for smartphones and devices across various categories, the EU has now proposed a new regulation to make batteries more sustainable and reusable. The new regulation covers the entire battery life cycle, from materials extraction to disposal, and it could force smartphone OEMs to bring back user-replaceable batteries.
The Samsung Galaxy Book 2 is a great option for business thanks to the system management options built into the BIOS, as well as Intel vPro processors. That's on top of the great design. But you might be wondering, can you replace the battery? Unfortunately, the answer to that question is no, you can't.
Samsung reportedly working on stacked smartphone batteries that could offer 10% higher energy density
Samsung SDI is planning to adopt stacking technology for manufacturing smartphone batteries. Read on to know more.
When it comes to the battery and charging speed innovations, Samsung isn’t always the trendsetter. The company significantly lags behind other Android OEMs in the fast charging race. On the one hand, we have OEMs like Xiaomi and OPPO breaking the 200W barrier, while Samsung has yet to reach even the 50W mark. The company’s latest flagships, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra, support up to 45W fast charging. However, other Galaxy phones could only manage 25W at best. While Samsung is clearly not interested in winning the fast charging race, it’s reportedly exploring a new technology that could allow it to fit bigger batteries on future Galaxy phones.
Baseus Blade 100W Power Bank Review: Charge all the things
The Baseus Blade 100W power bank promises to be the only portable charger that you need to bring in your bag. Check our review!
Portable batteries have always been helpful, but as more (and larger) devices migrate to the USB Power Delivery charging standard, batteries have become even more invaluable for travel and backup. Power banks with a high enough charge rate can now be used with many modern laptops, in addition to the usual mix of tablets, smartphones, handheld consoles, and accessories. I've been testing the Blade portable battery from Baseus for about two weeks now, with a maximum charging rate of 100W and a total of four USB ports. It has worked pretty well in that time, despite a few limitations, and it's probably worth picking up if you're in the market for a new portable battery.
Xiaomi's new battery tech offers 10% more capacity at the same volume
Xiaomi's new High-Silicon Lithium battery technology offers 10 percent increased capacity at the same volume as conventional lithium-ion batteries.
Although we've seen some significant advancements in fast charging tech over the last few years, smartphone batteries have remained largely unchanged. However, Xiaomi finally seems to have a better solution. In a recent post on Weibo, the company announced its upcoming High-Silicon Lithium battery technology, promising increased capacity at the same volume.
Apple has a new MagSafe Battery Pack for the iPhone 12 series
Apple has a new MagSafe-compatible portable battery that sticks to the back of an iPhone 12, but it will cost you almost a hundred bucks.
Apple finally replaced the Lightning connector on the iPhone 12 last year, but not in the way some were expecting. Instead of adopting the industry-standard USB Type-C connector, Apple combined Qi wireless charging with magnets to create MagSafe, borrowing the name from earlier MacBook chargers. The new technology has led to a surge in iPhone accessories that attach to phones without adhesive or clips, and now Apple has released yet another MagSafe product: a battery pack.

iOS 14.5 update will recalibrate battery health reporting on the iPhone 11 series
If you're facing battery life issues on the iPhone 11 series, iOS 14.5 will let you recalibrate battery health reporting and diagnose issues.
Apple's next big update for its iPhones, iOS 14.5 or iOS 15 as it ends up being called, is expected to arrive later this year. While most of the attention will be on new features like new emojis and shortcut actions, controller support, and more, the update will also bring along a fairly substantial fix for the older iPhone 11 series. iOS 14.5 will allow users to recalibrate battery health reporting on the iPhone 11 series, potentially diagnosing subpar battery performance on these devices.
The ASUS ZenFone 7 and ROG Phone 3 support passthrough charging for gaming without degrading the battery
Both the ASUS ZenFone 7 and the ROG Phone 3 support passthrough charging which can extend the battery longevity while gaming.
The distinction between smartphones and gaming consoles is getting blurred for consumers in certain Asian markets thanks to the rise of the gaming phone. Mobile eSports titles are now bigger than ever, thus it's not uncommon to see users spend hundreds of hours playing multiplayer games on their phone rather than PC or console. Such long gaming sessions are obviously demanding for the battery, so users end up repeatedly charging their phones to keep playing. Your phone’s long-term battery capacity takes a hit if you constantly charge it to full. To address this issue, the recently launched ASUS ROG Phone 3 and the ASUS ZenFone 7 series come with a charging limit feature that enables passthrough charging once the battery level reaches a certain limit.
OnePlus smartphone owners: Here's how to check the health of your battery
OnePlus Diagnostic is an official app from the company that helps you to check the health of the battery of your OnePlus phone running OxygenOS.
OnePlus, like most other Android device makers, doesn't offer removable batteries on their smartphones. On a journey to make its smartphones slim as well as dust and water resistant, OnePlus made it really hard for a novice to swap out an older degraded battery for a new one without paying a visit to a service center. However, the company does have a really handy diagnostic app that can give users a clear insight into the health of their battery.
Leaked EU proposal reveals plan to make smartphone batteries easier to replace
A leaked proposal suggests that the EU is planning to force manufacturers to make smartphone batteries easily replaceable.
Replacing a dead battery on smartphones used to be quite easy not so long ago. It didn't require any professional help and users could easily pop the back cover open to access the replaceable battery. And having a replaceable battery on your smartphone was more of a norm than an exception. These days, however, replacing a dead battery on your smartphone is a herculean task that requires specialized equipment and poses the risk of voiding the warranty. But this might change soon as the EU is currently mulling over a plan to make smartphone batteries easily replaceable once again.
