Here's the first Qi2.2 wireless power bank with faster charging speeds and much more
The thing to remember is that the higher the capacity of your power bank, the more unwieldy it is. For example, I own power banks with 5000mAh battery capacity, and they fit in my pocket. A power bank with this capacity usually provides the user with one to two full charges, with the lower number more likely. I also have a 35000mAh power bank that will definitely provide me with multiple charges, but it is also the size of a brick, is very heavy, and is not pocketable.

A power bank's charging speed is also important because the faster it charges, the quicker your phone's battery life returns to 100%. With the latest Qi2.2 wireless charging standard announced by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), devices like power banks can now charge as fast as 50W in certain implementations. More likely, your charging speed with a Qi2.2 device will be 25W. That is a significant jump from the 15W charging speed available on the Qi and Qi2 standards.

Despite the faster charging speeds with Qi2.2, not too many devices offer it. Today, the world's first Qi2.2 power bank has been introduced. The UGREEN MagFlow Magnetic Power Bank carries 10000mAh in battery capacity and a 25W wireless charging speed. It is equipped with a built-in USB-C cable for those times when you want to charge with a wire, and an extra USB-C port in case you want to charge two devices at the same time. A display on the side of the power bank will tell you exactly how much battery life remains on it and whether you need to plug it in to replenish the power bank.
The UGREEN MagFlow Magnetic Power Bank will be released sometime this fall with improved magnetic auto-alignment, 25W charging speed, temperature protection that prevents overheating, and more. Pricing remains unknown for now.

Google Pixel 10 lineup shown in multiple leaks, Week 30 in review
Welcome to your weekly news recap. Google's Pixel 10 series dominated your attention with a total of four top stories. They showed all four upcoming Pixel 10 devices in all of their colors. Google even jumped in on the action and teased the Pixel 10 Pro design officially, and showed the entire four-phone series in the Play Store. The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold are all coming alongside the Pixel Watch 4 on August 20. The Pixel 10 series will be unveiled on August 20. The lineup reportedly includes four smartphones - Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. They aren't the dullest, but also not the most exciting ever. The first details about the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ surfaced this week. The phone is said to sport a screen with "1.5K" resolution and thin symmetrical bezels on all sides, a 50 MP main camera, a 50 MP telephoto camera, and a battery capacity between 7,000 mAh and 7,999 mAh. The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ will allegedly be powered by the yet-unannounced Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. The CMF Watch 3 Pro is official with a larger 1.43-inch display, a precision-milled metal frame, and a soft-touch silicone strap. It's on sale in several countries for $99/£99/€99. A new vivo or iQOO phone is in the works, as evidenced by a Geekbench run. It packs a Dimensity 9400+ and an 8,000mAh battery! It doesn't have many improvements compared to its predecessor, but one of them is pretty significant. The watch gains dual-band GPS, ChatGPT support and new sports modes. It's available starting today in three color options. It might be the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro+. Nokia has been parting ways with HMD in the past year, and it looks like it's looking to license its brand name to a new "large scale mobile manufacturer". Nokia had licensed its brand in several different segments – Streamview made TVs, RichGo made headphones (and other smartphone accessories), and OFF Global made laptops. As you can probably tell from the use of the past tense, those branding deals have also come to an end. Which company would you like to see pick up the Nokia brand for phones – one of the established players or another startup like HMD? According to a new rumor from China, the OnePlus 15 will launch in the country in October, but not alone. It will allegedly be unveiled alongside the Ace 6 (and possibly the Ace 6 Pro as well), which is an interesting change in strategy for the brand, which last year unveiled the OnePlus 13 in October and the Ace 5 in December. HMD stopped using the Nokia brand and has been releasing phones under its own brand. Now the Finns may be looking for another company to take up the mantle. The chipset choices are interesting too. It's not something it's done before.

Google said that some Pixel 6a units run the risk of catching on fire. They weren't kidding
A Pixel 6a user woke up Friday after hearing a loud noise. While his senses were returning to him, he noticed a bad smell. His Pixel 6a had already caught on fire. Pulling the device by the cord, he dropped it on the tile floor. The phone had been on the nightstand only 40 cm (1 1/4 feet) away from his head. The bed sheets caught on fire, and the phone owner had inhaled so much smoke that his throat bothered him the rest of the day. A Pixel 6a is burnt to a crisp as Google worries about. | Image credit-Imgbb The update was supposed to be released on July 8th, and only impacted Pixel 6a units will have certain changes made to their battery once the phone completes 400 charging cycles. When that occurs, owners of impacted Pixel 6a models should notice: Shorter battery life between charges Reduction in charging performance Temporary changes to the battery-level indicator as the Pixel 6a is forced to recalibrate after the update. At 375 charging cycles, Pixel 6a users with impacted units will receive a notification to alert them that their battery is about to get a reduction in capacity and charging performance after 400 charging cycles. Impacted Pixel 6a models are eligible for a free battery replacement. Check out this page to learn about the Pixel 6a Battery Performance Program. To have your Pixel 6a officially declared impacted, tap on this link and enter your phone's unique IMEI number in the proper field. To find your IMEI, go to Support > About phone . Scroll down and you should see your IMEI number. Another way to get it is to dial *#06# from your phone. Select the 15-digit number. Copy and paste the number into the box. If you're on your computer, enter the number into the box. Even if your Pixel 6a is impacted and you are entitled to a free battery replacement, you'll need to have your phone inspected, since certain issues will allow Google to refuse to give you the free battery replacement. These issues include "liquid damage, exposure to sharp objects, or excessive force (e.g., a heavily cracked screen that affects the integrity of the device). "In these cases, Google might offer you other options or give you an estimate to pay to have the necessary additional repairs made. Once those repairs are made, you would qualify for the free battery replacement. The bottom line is that once your Pixel 6a is determined to be an impacted model, you can choose from one of the following options: A free battery replacement: This is available at walk-in repair centers in certain countries such as the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Germany, Singapore, Japan, and India. You can have your device taken care of via mail in the U.S. and India. Cash payment: Reports say this cash payment from Google will amount to $100 (converted to local currency). Google Store credit: Reports say that those with an impacted Pixel 6a who choose this option will get $150 Google Store credit (converted to local currency) that can be used towards the purchase of another Pixel device or other Google Store purchases. If your Pixel 6a is found to be impacted, you have until July 8th, 2026, to choose which of the above options you want from Google. Not all Pixel 6a users feel safer once Google sent out the update to throttle the battery and reduce the charging capabilities. As one device user wrote on social media, "I feel like their update that nerfed the battery actually made it worse. I never had any overheating issues with my 6a, then after the update, it started getting super hot. I got the battery replacement and it's fine now." It's obvious that some Pixel 6a models are dangerous. If you own a Pixel 6a , you owe it to yourself and the people you live with to swap out the battery or use credit from Google to buy a new device. If you haven't put the wheels in motion yet, do it now! Remember, back in May a Pixel 6a with a swollen battery exploded.
