LG G3 first look, PadFone X AT&T impressions, Galaxy S5 Active surprise & more | Pocketnow Weekly 098

Posted on May 30, 2014 by Michael Fisher

New York City is a fine place to sneak a peek at some unreleased devices, and that’s just what we did this week with the LG G3 event (streamed from London to an airy presentation room in a Chelsea skyscraper) and AT&T’s ASUS PadFone X announcement (held on a posh rooftop lounge near the Flatiron). At one of those events, Daniel Bader of MobileSyrup was our seat neighbor, so we thought we’d invite him on this week’s podcast to discuss the more globally significant of these high-profile launches.Join us as we share our impressions of the LG G3: how it stands on ...

ZENS Qi-enabled portable battery makes charging truly wireless, almost

Posted on April 14, 2014 by Joe Levi

Last week we showed you a very novel Qi wireless charger for you to keep your smartphone topped of while in your car, and we were quite impressed with it. Unlike most car chargers that attach to your dash or windshield, this one sits in your cup holder and cradles your phone while you drive down the road. Interesting and convenient! If you’re more into carrying around a spare battery, like I do, you might be interested in the ZENS ...

ZENS Qi Wireless Portable Speaker review: big sound, small box (Video)

Posted on April 8, 2014 by Michael Fisher

So you’re looking for a set of speakers a little beefier than what your smartphone’s packing out of the box. We’ve been down this road before, most notably with our unboxing of the monstrous JBL PowerUp dock that we bought to match our Nokia Lumia 920 back in 2012. But such big sound ...

The best Qi wireless chargers to use with your Nexus 5

Posted on November 18, 2013 by Joe Levi

Google’s latest flagship, the Nexus 5, has been out for a little while, but it includes a feature that’s been out for a while longer: support for Qi wireless chargers. Qi is one of two main wireless charging standards. Ironically, Google has put their money behind the “other one”, but LG supports Qi — bringing Qi support to the LG-made Nexus 4 and LG-made Nexus 5. The 2013 Nexus 7 also includes ...

The US Lumia 1520 has the wrong kind of wireless charging. Thanks, AT&T!

Posted on October 25, 2013 by Michael Fisher

I’m writing this editorial while sitting in a Boston-area Starbucks, which means two things: 1) yes, I’m one of those pretentious jerks who writes in public, and 2) I’m seated next to a wireless charging plate embedded in the tabletop. The hardware is unobtrusive, just a glossy disc about three inches across, mounted flush with the table. At first glance, it almost seems like a permanent coaster, a structural suggestion from management encouraging you to “put your drink here.” Only on closer inspection does the Powermat branding become evident, with tiny text ...

ZENS Wireless Charging Flip Case for iPhone 5 review

Posted on August 20, 2013 by Taylor Martin

Wireless charging, you either hate it or love it. Here at Pocketnow, it’s about an even split. Either way, it’s something more and more smartphones are shipping with. And if it’s something you don’t particularly care for, there’s no one saying you have to use wireless charging if your phone has it – it’s simply nice to have the option. Unfortunately for iPhone users, wireless charging simply isn’t one of those things Apple seems to care too much about, along with NFC, ...

The best ways to wirelessly charge your new Nexus 7

Posted on July 29, 2013 by Taylor Martin

Wireless charging is still a hit-or-miss feature with mobile users. Not everyone cares for it or sees the point. But those who do love the ability to drop your phone on a mat and let it charge without the hassle of cables. The Nexus 7 announcement last week also came with a tiny surprise for wireless charging sympathizers. The 7-inch, affordable tablet comes with the Qi standard for wireless charging built into its thin frame. But there’s a problem: not a lot of ...

Galaxy S 4 Wireless Charging Kit: Quick Review

Posted on July 3, 2013 by Michael Fisher

Samsung’s official Galaxy S III wireless charging kit was announced alongside that 2012 flagship, but it didn’t arrive on the market until long after – and many regions are still waiting to get their hands on it. This year, Samsung appears committed to avoiding a similar situation with the new Galaxy S 4: the company ...

Quick Look: TYLT Vu wireless charging dock (Video)

Posted on June 20, 2013 by Michael Fisher

The wireless charging space has its nondescript plates, its chopped-in-half spheres, and its invisibly integrated landing zones – but what it’s lacking in most cases is a sense of style. With its new Qi-enabled wireless charging dock, accessory maker TYLT looks to shake up that status quo somewhat, and the company ...

The Port-Free Smartphone: Fiction or the Future?

Posted on March 25, 2013 by Michael Fisher

We were doing some speculating on last week’s episode of the Pocketnow Live, and, as tends to happen, we got to talking about the future. Not the distant future, where embedded transceivers and wearable gadgets have replaced the smartphone, but some time before that. An era close to our own, with smartphones in nearly every pocket and more connectivity than ever, but with an important catch: this ...

Hands-On With the Nexus 4 Wireless Charger (Video)

Posted on February 18, 2013 by Taylor Martin

At long last, the official Wireless Charger for the Google Nexus 4 hit the Play Store for a cool $60 last Monday. For a cool $59.99, plus tax and shipping, the official charger isn’t exactly cheap, but neither is any other wireless charger. This one comes with a premium feel, solid build and, most importantly, Nexus branding. A unit landed on my doorstep late last week and I immediately stopped what I was doing to tear into the packaging and see what all the hubbub was about. Having only two ...
