Always losing your wallet? Never again, thanks to Zillion's Tile-powered wallet

Zillion Wallet - find your wallet in seconds and charge your smartphone

You’ll never want to lose this wallet, and you never will.

Meet the Zillion Slimline Wallet, a brand new wallet that not only has Tile’s location technology built right into its sleek design, but also doubles as a powerbank capable of charging your smartphone on the go. Think of it as the wallet for the absent-minded, perpetually-on-the-go, 21st-century individual. 

Matt Orlic began conceptualizing the Zillion after growing tired of two common grievances — misplacing his wallet, and having a dead phone. So he decided to address both problems with a single solution, creating an ultra-slim wallet that could not only power his phone, but also incorporate anti-loss technology. He partnered with Tile to bring consumers a product that leaves them perpetually charged — and in charge of their possessions.

So how does it work? If ever you misplace your Zillion, simply ring it from the Tile app and use your echolocation capabilities to find it. If you’re too far away to hear it, you can check the map within the Tile application and find your wallet’s last known location (and the time at which it was located). And if that’s still not good enough, you can, of course, rely upon the Tile network to help find your Zillion, which promises to be “the world’s largest lost and found network.”

Moreover, the Zillion’s powerbank features a 2,500mAh battery and built-in cable, capable of fully charging your smartphone. And despite this broad functionality, the Zillion doesn’t suffer in design. It’s only 6.5 x 9.5 x 12 cm and is made with 100-percent sheep leather. Your super slim wallet can be ordered in either brown or black leather finishes.

Currently available for pre-order on Kickstarter, the early bird price of the Zillion stands at just over $75. So if you’re looking for a Christmas gift for that forgetful someone, this may just be the way to go.

Before you head to the app store on your phone to buy a voice-recording app, take a moment to consider the apps that may already be installed on your phone. Why? In my experience, they're likely all you really need. I’ve recorded interviews and voice-overs for work for years, and I’ve found the two best examples come preinstalled on your phone already, so they’re entirely free to use.

The best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases: 10 best ones so far
Two Galaxy Z Fold 5 phones next to each other -- one is open and one is closed.

Samsung’s next-generation foldable is here with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. This iteration has some notable improvements, including a new hinge design that eliminates the gap from previous generations when the device was folded. You also get a 6.2-inch HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the outside while having a 6.7-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the inside, with both screens having a 120Hz refresh rate. In other words, they're about as nice as you could ask for.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is made with premium materials, and the triple-lens camera system packs in a 50MP main shooter, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. There’s a 10MP selfie camera on the front cover, and a 4MP camera on the inner display. You also get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip inside for the best performance and power efficiency.

Google Pixel Tablet just got its first big discount and it’s worth a look

Tablets are a dime-a-dozen these days, with offerings from all the great brands including Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and more. So, if you really want to stand out in a sea of similar tech, you need to do things a little differently. That's what Google's Pixel Tablet offers. How? It comes with a unique speaker dock that can be used to both charge the device and offer room-filling sound -- almost like a smart speaker add-on. Better yet, when your Pixel Tablet is docked it benefits from the Hub Mode, turning the device into a smart display, with digital photo frame support, smart home controls, and hands-free Google functionality. Of course, it could set you back at full price, normally $499 unless you find it included in a roundup of the best Google Pixel deals. Well, guess what? Thanks to a Best Buy Google Pixel Tablet deal, you can get it today for $439 and save $60. Hurry, though, it's part of Best Buy's recent 48-hour sale so it won't stick around for long.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Tablet
Okay, okay, so in our Google Pixel Tablet review, Joe Maring did give it less than stellar remarks, but he called out its reliable fingerprint sensor, comfortability during use and excellent speaker dock. Honestly, how many tablets come with a matching speaker dock that transforms the entire experience? This tablet also marks a "lot of firsts" for Google, as it's the first tablet from the company in nearly five years, the first Android tablet in eight years, and can be converted into a smart home display with the speaker dock. All of which are notable milestones.
