It’s time to stop defending slow charging speeds

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-03 17:00:58

Robert Triggs / Android Authority We’re fast approaching the launch of the new Pixel 10 series and iPhone 17, and the one thing I’m really dreading is another year of sluggish charging speeds. While Google’s Pro XL model has gradually increased its charging power to a level close to Samsung’s Ultra, the smaller, more popular flagship phones in the US are stuck charging below 25W. Compared to their fast-charging Chinese counterparts, such as the 80W OnePlus 13, these supposed flagships feel pos

If you’re an active parent who easily gets cabin fever, a jogging stroller is a great way to get out of the house with your toddler. The Guava Roam Stroller is a jogging stroller on the smaller side, and according to the website, it’s 50% smaller than other jogging strollers. It folds up easily, so it works if you have limited space in your home. I’ve been using this stroller for part of the summer and love how it’s made it easier for me to go out for a run while also bringing my toddler along w

Thawing vacuum-packed fish correctly Improper thawing of vacuum-packed fish can lead to a foodborne illness. Learn how to do it safely. Looking for vacuum-packed fish is an excellent way to purchase fish in the grocery store. Vacuum packaging keeps the fish from drying out by preventing water loss; it also can ensure the fish is packaged at peak quality.

Adorable Triassic Reptile Used its Freaky Back Fin to Communicate

Technological advancements have brought us many things. For paleontologists, it’s introduced the ability to probe softer material—skin, feathers, scales, and hair—found on fossilized creatures. And that’s resulting in some strange new findings about long-extinct animals, showing us that they’re even weirder than we imagined.
