This slim concept phone has a 15,000mAh battery, but one giant drawback

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-30 22:27:41

TL;DR Realme has revealed a concept phone with a 15,000mAh battery. The phone is less than 9mm thick and can last for up to five days. The device uses a battery with 100% silicon content, effectively ruling out mass production for now. The advent of silicon-carbon batteries has resulted in many smartphone brands offering bigger batteries than ever before. We’ve already seen HONOR and vivo launch phones with ~8,000mAh batteries in relatively slim designs. Now, realme has revealed a rather impr

This new Pixel 10 battery feature is stirring up controversy - here's why

zdnet.com Artie Beaty 2025-11-01 05:43:52

Joseph Maldonado/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways The Pixel 10 lineup has a controversial battery health feature. Users don't have the option to turn it off. The feature limits your phone's battery capacity over time. If you're a Google Pixel 10 series phone owner, a mandatory feature will limit your device's battery life. Whether that's a good thing or not depends on how you approach it.

Greenhouse gas reduction is no longer a priority for the US government, but if you're looking for a new vehicle and want to buy something with the lowest life cycle carbon emissions, you're best off looking for a compact with a small battery.

The unlikely revival of nuclear batteries

news.ycombinator.com James Blanchard 2025-11-04 14:37:22

In 1970, surgeons in Paris implanted the first nuclear-powered pacemaker, and over the next five years, at least 1,400 additional people received the devices, mostly in France and the United States. Encased in titanium, the batteries for these devices contained a radioactive isotope—typically about a tenth of a gram of plutonium-238—and could operate for decades without maintenance. The invention provided relief to a population of people who previously needed surgery every few years to change ou

According to star and producer Margot Robbie, early versions of the script for her Harley Quinn vehicle Birds of Prey, featured the iconic Batman villain as the main antagonist, but then someone stepped in and asked that not to happen. “Matt Reeves said, ‘Don’t use the Penguin.

This Classic was handed to me alongside my Uncle Mark's Apple II, which I'll probably cover later (we've played a game of whack-a-mole with issues on that machine! Well worth it but I haven't hit a point where enough things are working to cover it well, heh).

Few things interrupt your sleep more than having to crawl out of a warm bed to use the bathroom. That quick trip can be enough to break up your rest, and once you're awake, falling back asleep isn't always easy. At the same time, you don't want to lie there feeling uncomfortable either. When it happens several times a night, the effects can build up fast. Interrupted sleep often leaves you groggy the next morning and can make it harder to get through the day.

Google’s Pixel Buds 2a Have One Thing Apple Would Never Give Us on AirPods

Wireless earbuds are better now than they’ve ever been. Trust me, I’ve tried a lot of them.

That being said, there is one thing they’re sorely lacking, and that’s modularity and repairability. As solid as Apple’s AirPods are, when the battery goes, so too does the whole pair of wireless earbuds. That sucks, to say the least. This sad fact about most wireless

And yet, before its release, many were skeptical of the show. Why would we want to see this story? And did it make sense to do a Batman villain story without Batman himself? To that last
