androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-05 17:37:49

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 owners complain it won’t charge properly on Samsung’s wireless charging pad. The issue stems from the curved default strap, which prevents the watch from lying flat on the Wireless Charger Duo. The included magnetic puck charger works fine, but users are frustrated by the poor fit with official accessories. Samsung has clearly impressed many people with the Galaxy Watch 8, including us. However, the tech giant may have overlooke

If the rumors are to be believed, Intel may be gearing up for a major apology to gamers in the form of a suite of gaming-specific CPUs. Intel has suffered through multiple crises, a CEO ouster, sweeping layoffs, and a dour outlook on the future of the once-massive chipmaker.
