Mophie’s new Charge Force cases prove wireless charging is a ‘necessity’

By Joshua Smith Published June 23, 2016

Cords are annoying and so is charging your phone all the time. Mophie solves both those problems in one shot with the Charge Force case line for the iPhone 6S, 6S Plus, Samsung Galaxy S7, and S7 Edge These cases boast internal batteries that juice your phone up on the go, but they also charge wirelessly, so you never have to fumble around with a cord again.

Mophie made a range of accessories to go with the case, so you can top up your phone’s battery no matter where you are, whether it’s your car, apartment, or office. Mophie has a desk mount, a wireless charging base, and an easy-to-use car mount to go along with its wireless charging case. You simply pop the case on your phone, and attach it magnetically to any of the Charge Force accessories. The case uses Qi wireless charging technology, so you can use other Qi-enabled accessories, too.

The only downside to the cool wireless charging case and its accessories is the price tag. You’ll pay $100 for the case and the accessories are sold separately for $60 and up. Of course, that’s about the same price you’d pay for any other Mophie case, sans wireless charging. We put the entire Charge Force lineup to the test to see if they’re worth your hard-earned money.

In this video, Joshua Smith goes hands-on with the new wireless Mophie case and its accessories. You’ll find out how easy the Charge Force system is to use and more. If you’re interested in Mophie’s latest and greatest offerings, you can get them from BestBuy, Apple, or Mophie.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite vs. MediaTek Dimensity 9400: the race is on

Comparison of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processors.

The flagship mobile silicon race has entered its next phase, one that will dictate the trajectory of Android hardware heading into 2025. Merely weeks after MediaTek wowed us with the Dimensity 9400 system on a chip (SoC), Qualcomm also pulled a surprise with the reveal of the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

But this time around, the battle is not as straightforward. Where MediaTek is working closely with Arm and adopting its latest CPU and graphics innovations, Qualcomm has firmly put its faith in custom cores. These are no ordinary cores, but a next-gen iteration of the same fundamental tech stack that powers Windows on ARM laptops.

Discolored line on your new Kindle? You aren’t alone

Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition on a table.

The new Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is the first full-color e-reader, and a lot of bookworms couldn't wait to get their hands on it. Sadly, many people are reporting the display has a discolored yellow area at the bottom of the screen. The problem is so widespread that the Kindle Colorsoft dropped to an average review rating of 2.6 out of 5, although it does remain the bestselling e-book reader at the moment.

The cause of the discoloration isn't clear. Some users report that it only happens when using the edge lighting feature on the Kindle, while others say it appeared after a software update. Either way, the yellowing is a problem, especially on a device that Amazon has marketed as being great for comics and graphic novel fans. It's hard to enjoy the colorwork in a comic when it's distorted.
