Baseus has introduced an ultra-thin wireless power bank that is expected to arrive in the US shortly.

      At just 6.9mm thick, the PicoGo Air could be the power bank your pocket has been searching for.

      Baseus has introduced the PicoGo Air in China, and it firmly positions itself as the slimmest accessory your phone could desire. With a thickness of only 6.9mm, this magnetic power bank caters to those who seek additional power without extra bulk.

      The PicoGo Air features a 5,000mAh rated capacity, providing ample power to recharge your phone when you need it most. It offers 15W magnetic wireless charging and 22.5W wired fast charging, which is impressive for a slender power bank like this.

      What sets it apart from just being a slim power bank?

      Slim design isn't the only feature that makes the Baseus power bank appealing. As noted by Notebookcheck, a notable aspect is its PowerSense NFC. When you tap your phone to the power bank, the accompanying app displays detailed battery information. This may seem like a minor addition, but it offers clarity about your remaining charge rather than relying on a blinking LED indicator.

      One of the issues encountered by thin power banks is heat management. Baseus aims to address this concern with its Glacier Heat Dissipation Structure, which includes a VC heat sink and an aluminum alloy casing. This combination should assist in maintaining appropriate temperatures during charging. Additionally, there’s an adaptive temperature control feature to ensure that the charging process remains stable and safe.

      What’s included in the package?

      Included with the PicoGo Air is a short cable that supports up to 60W fast charging, allowing you to utilize it with other power adapters. The power bank comes in three metallic colors and features an Apple-inspired curved design with strong built-in magnets.

      The Baseus PicoGo Air is currently priced at CNY 299 in China, approximately $44. While international availability is yet to be established, Baseus has a reliable history of launching its PicoGo series in global markets, suggesting it will likely be available in the US in the upcoming months.

      Your favorite apps could be monitoring you — the FBI’s warning is more significant than it appears.

      There’s a certain reassurance in downloading an app that millions of others are using. If it’s trending, leading the charts, and showcased on your feed, it must be trustworthy… right? Not necessarily. A recent alert from the FBI indicates that some popular apps on your smartphone — the ones you casually downloaded during late-night browsing — may be secretly collecting much more data than you intended to share. This concern is not confined to one nation; it's a global issue that may be closer to home than you think.

      If Samsung were to introduce a Galaxy S27 Pro, merely adopting the name won’t suffice.

      Samsung requires more than just another name; it needs an improved flagship model in between its offerings. New speculation has reignited discussions about a forthcoming Galaxy Pro flagship phone, and it's not for the best reasons. Samsung could be adding a fourth Galaxy S27 variant next year, with a "Pro" model expected to be positioned just below the top-tier S27 Ultra. This model would essentially fill the space between the standard and Ultra Galaxy devices, featuring high-end capabilities but omitting the S Pen. Some of these advanced features might include the Privacy Display feature from the S26 Ultra.

      Some of Samsung’s latest Galaxy S26 AI features will also make their way to the S25.

      Samsung seems poised not to restrict all of the impressive new AI functionalities to the Galaxy S26 series. The company has announced that it is developing a software update to transfer newer AI features that debuted with the latest flagship series to the earlier model. This follows some backlash from the Samsung community.
