The iPhone 15 just guaranteed the success of Qi2
Despite Apple’s efforts to bury it, Qi2 will overtake MagSafe
It's hard to deny the clear divide in selection and quality between iPhone accessories and the options we have in the Android ecosystem. We get a fraction of the phone case variety in both function and fashion, though Samsung and Google's flagships have made some headway there in the last four years. Nearly all of the best PPS chargers and power banks are optimized for iPhone first, and wireless chargers for Android phones have been such a hot mess that I've developed mental ticks around researching and writing about them.
Best Samsung Galaxy S23+ screen protectors in 2023
Defend your gorgeous Galaxy S23+ screen against scratches and scuffs
The Samsung Galaxy S23+ is the Goldilocks of the S23 family, a happy middle point between the underwhelming S23 and the very pricey S23 Ultra. While the improvements over the previous model are iterative at best, it's faster, boasts more storage space, packs a bigger battery than the previous generation, and is a great compromise between its two S23 siblings.

As Will noted in his review, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is likely more phone than you'll ever need, and that's exactly what makes it such a remarkable flagship. Returning to the latest iteration is the excellent 120Hz, 6.8-inch AMOLED display (including support for HDR10+ and a startlingly bright 1,750 nits), now augmented by improved battery life and a suite of excellent cameras.

What is a smart ring, and how does it work?
One ring for the fitness enthusiasts, one ring to rule them all
Fitness trackers have become an integral part of everyday life, and smart rings are the latest addition. The first one to emerge was McLear's RingPay in 2013. Since then, the rings have struggled to go mainstream because of technological constraints and competition with larger wearables. Many critics consider them to be downsized versions of smartwatches that don't offer anything groundbreaking. With Apple, Samsung, and other tech giants locking into their potential, there may still be time for smart rings to gain popularity.
Best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases in 2023
The most sophisticated phone on the market deserves only perfection
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 doesn't reinvent the wheel, nor does it need to, as foldable phones remain pretty shallow in an increasingly competitive market. That said, the Z Fold 5 is a pretty amazing device. However, if you're a first-time purchaser, you may be a bit confused concerning case options, hinges, and how/where the S Pen fits when your phone is covered in protective cladding.
Don’t miss this huge discount on one of the smallest 10,000mAh portable batteries
Grab this travel-sized charge for just $26 with a coupon
Unless your smartphone's battery can last over a day without needing a top-up (Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, anyone?) or you can go a day without checking your phone much (are you human?), then you most likely tote around a portable battery when you're out and about. But the thing with most of them, including the best power banks across the board, is they are either colossal or heavier than a brick. They cause pocket bulge — if you can even slip them in your pocket at all — or require a separate bag, defeating the purpose of being truly portable. If you want a portable battery that you can actually hold with one hand, this AINOPE portable charger fits the bill, clocking in at less than four inches. Right now, you can get it for just $26 with a clipped coupon.
Best Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 bands in 2023
Enhance the look of your new wearable with a high-quality band
Where Android smartwatches are concerned, the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro are hard to beat. Despite all the glowing reviews of the watches themselves, however, the included straps tend to be a little divisive. Luckily, as is the case for most of Samsung's releases, a flourishing aftermarket has sprung up around the smartwatch offerings; there's a dizzying array of 3rd party bands available to suit nearly any budget or aesthetic.
In a year of fairly underwhelming upgrades and announcements, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 stands out by demonstrating some genuine progress. Finally outshining its phablet sibling, the Z Flip 5 has a much improved, much larger cover screen and shows welcome refinement in fold-flat design.
Best Google Pixel 6a screen protectors in 2023
Protect your Pixel 6a's OLED screen with these reliable options
You don't have to buy a pricy Android flagship to get a decent phone. Like other budget smartphones, the Pixel 6a has shown us the beauty of affordable. Though it may not have all the bells and whistles, the Pixel 6a is still a great option that’s so well crafted that it can take on pricier alternatives in most performance contests. And as you’d expect, that makes it one of the best budget Android phones. Nevertheless, a cheap device will always have some tacky, less-than-perfect components, and the Pixel 6a’s frail Gorilla Glass 3 screen is one of them. Fortunately, with an excellent screen protector, you can adequately reinforce your display and shield it from harm.
