The Galaxy Watch 8 gets a key battery health feature that more smartwatches need
Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung's new Galaxy Watch 8 series introduces a 'battery protection' feature designed to extend the device's battery longevity. The feature works by stopping the charge at 90% and only resuming it when the battery level drops down to 85%. This prevents the battery from sitting at a full 100% charge, which reduces stress and helps slow long-term battery degradation. Most people don't upgrade their smartwatch every year, opting to keep their device until something much better comes along or the battery degrades. Unlike smartphones, however, most smartwatches don't offer robust battery protection features, which limits your ability to extend their longevity. Fortunately, more smartwatch makers are starting to introduce these tools, with Samsung being the latest to do so in its new Galaxy Watch 8 series. On previous Galaxy Watch models, the Settings > Battery menu only lists two options under the 'Charging' section: 'show charging info' and 'auto power on.' The former controls whether your watch displays its battery level while charging to full, and the latter determines if your watch automatically powers on when you connect it to a charger. While setting up my Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, however, I spotted a new, third option called 'battery protection.' This new feature stops your watch from charging when the battery level reaches 90% and then resumes charging when it drops to 85%. Essentially, this feature keeps your watch's battery between 85% and 90% of its maximum capacity. Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority This kind of feature is important because consistently keeping a device with a lithium-ion battery at a 100% charge can shorten its lifespan due to the stress a high state of charge places on the battery. This is why many smartphones offer similar protections, though they typically limit charging to 80% rather than the Galaxy Watch 8's 90%. While an 80% limit is even better for battery longevity, smartwatches have small batteries, so Samsung likely didn't want to cap the charge too much for fear of degrading the user experience. Regardless, it's great to see Samsung finally add a meaningful battery protection feature to the Galaxy Watch. We're hoping that Samsung will bring this capability to older watches with the One UI 8 Watch update, but we won't know for sure until the company rolls out the update. Got a tip? Talk to us!

This phone has twice the battery capacity of the Galaxy S25 Edge and costs less than $200
TL;DR HONOR just announced the X70 phone, set to go on sale on Friday in China. Despite its $165 price tag, the HONOR X70 features a massive 8,300mAh battery and military-grade toughness. At 8.2mm, it's about the same thickness as the iPhone 16 Pro. A $165 smartphone wouldn't usually raise expectations about its specs, but one manufacturer clearly didn't get that memo. Despite the price tag, the new HONOR X70 boasts an insane 8,300mAh battery along with military-grade toughness, and it isn't even a brick. In a new post on Weibo, HONOR confirmed that the X70 is now available for pre-order in China, with a full launch set for July 18. Despite the budget price, the phone boasts a battery that's more than double the size of the one inside the Galaxy S25 Edge, along with what the company calls the 'industry's first gold standard triple-drop protection.' It also features a new internal structure likened to a bulletproof vest, supposedly making the device resistant to impact on all ten sides. The phone is rated IP69K — the highest level of protection under the IP standard. This means it can withstand high-pressure, high-temperature water jets and is completely dust-tight. Many flagship phones stop at IP68, and the X70 is also listed as meeting IP69, IP68, and IP66 standards. Charging is similarly overkill. The device supports 80W fast charging both wired and wirelessly, which is rare at any price point. HONOR also claims the battery is rated to last six years of daily use without serious degradation. According to the text in the promotional image, the phone measures 8.2mm thick — impressive for a device with such a large battery. That's not slim, but for context, it's roughly on par with an iPhone 16 Pro. The phone also features a 120Hz eye-care display, dual stereo speakers, and a 4,000-level 3D spatial positioning system that may enhance navigation and camera performance. Color options include black, red, green, and marble white, and storage configurations range from 8GB + 128GB to 12GB + 512GB. Even the top model stays under $235. It's worth noting that these prices do include a 'national subsidy.' There's no word yet on a global launch, but at this price, some buyers might already be looking for ways to import one. Got a tip?
