PopSockets introduces its slimmest grip yet with the Low-Pro

PopSockets’ Low-Pro Grip is the company’s thinnest yet at 2.6mm, combining a soft, one-piece polymer expansion design with a folding disc that doubles as a stand; it’s lighter and more comfortable than the Snap Grip 5, and while it’s slightly behind the Snap Grip 5 in magnet strength, it remains compatible with magnetic mounts and wireless chargers. Available now exclusively through Apple in four colors for $39.99, with broader availability from PopSockets and other retailers starting July 29.

Galaxy S26 FE Surfaces in WPC Listing With 6.7-Inch Display and 45W Charging

The Galaxy S26 FE has appeared on the Wireless Power Consortium site, pointing to a SM-S741 model with a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display at 120Hz, 8GB RAM, and 128/256/512GB storage. It is reportedly powered by an older Exynos processor (not the 2nm Exynos 2600), and houses a 4900–5000 mAh battery with 45W wired charging, plus Qi 2.2.1 wireless charging up to 25W with improved magnetic alignment. The phone features a rear camera bump nicknamed Traffic Light, similar to the base S26, and is expected to launch in late August or September 2026 as an entry-level flagship in Samsung's FE line.

iPhone 17 Pro Tops Fast-Charging Showdown; Galaxy S26 Ultra Leads Wired Speed

CNET tested 33 phones and found the iPhone 17 Pro is the fastest overall charger thanks to its balanced wired (40W) and wireless (Qi2.2) speeds, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers the fastest wired charging at 60W. The iPhone 17 Pro also led wireless charging in their tests (55% in 30 minutes) aided by magnets. Silicon-carbon batteries (e.g., OnePlus 15) can reach very high speeds but are not widely available in the US. Apple shows the most consistent fast charging across its lineup; overall speed depends on charger compatibility and battery size, not just the phone’s max spec.

Reviving a Dead iPhone Air: MagSafe Rescue for the Black Screen

Some iPhone Air units plunge into a black screen and refuse to boot after the battery hits 0%, even when plugged in. While Apple patched a separate CVE-2026-28950 issue, users report this zero-battery 'black screen' bug; suggested workarounds include using a USB-A charger or, more reliably, placing the phone on a MagSafe wireless charger for 15–30 minutes to revive it. The exact cause is unclear and Apple has not issued an official fix yet, though reports link it to recent iOS 26.4/26.5 beta releases.

Anker’s MagGo 15W Qi2 wireless charging pad is on sale for $14.99 (15 off) during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale 2026, and it comes with a five‑foot USB‑C cable. It can charge with your phone case on and doesn’t include a wall adapter, with Anker recommending a 25W Power Delivery charger. The pad supports MagSafe‑equipped devices and earbuds like AirPods and Galaxy Buds, making it a cheap entry to Qi2 charging. At 15W, it isn’t ideal for rapid top‑ups, but it’s convenient for overnight charging.

S26 Ultra Wireless Charging Reaches 25W—But Only With 45W Power Pair

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra can wireless-charge at 25W with Samsung’s EP-P2900 pad, but you must power the pad with a 45W (or higher) charger to hit 25W; using a 25W charger will cap charging at about 15W (same limitation applies to third‑party Qi 2.2 pads). The EP-P2900 costs $49.99, the 45W adapter is $49.99, and a bundle with both is $74.99. The Galaxy S26+ supports 20W wireless charging.

Razer’s 16-inch sleeve doubles as a Qi2 wireless charger

Razer has unveiled the Laptop Sleeve 16” for $129.99, a protective 16-inch-capable sleeve with two Qi2 wireless charging pads in the flap that can power a phone up to 15W and wireless earbuds up to 5W; it includes a USB‑C cable to power the pads, adds about 410 g of weight, and cannot charge the laptop itself—whether two devices charge at full speed depends on the laptop’s USB power output.

Galaxy S26 Ultra Lacks Built-in Magnets, Magnetic Accessories Required

Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra reportedly lacks built-in magnets for Qi2 wireless charging, meaning magnetic functionality depends on magnetic cases rather than an internal magnet array. This contradicts earlier expectations and contrasts with rivals like Apple and Google, who include built-in magnets, and is viewed as disappointing with speculation that the S Pen digitizer may be a factor; Samsung has not issued an official comment.
