Even as a foldable skeptic, I can't recommend the Pixel 9 Pro Fold strongly enough at $700 off
$700 off (39%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 16GB RAM, Google Tensor G4 Processor, Android 15, Gemini, 8-Inch Foldable LTPO OLED Display with 2152 x 2076 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 6.3-Inch OLED Cover Screen with 2424 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate, 48 + 10.8 + 10.5MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 10MP Front-Facing Camera, 10MP Cover Camera, 4,650mAh Battery, Obsidian Color Buy at BestBuy That's because Best Buy is now selling the unlocked Pixel 9 Pro Fold with 256GB storage at a simply mind-blowing $700 discount. There are no special requirements, no strings attached, no obligatory upfront activation on any specific US carriers, and to put that number in perspective, the non-foldable Pixel 9 Pro powerhouse currently costs $699. So, yes, you can save the full price of an excellent Google-made device while buying another undeniably powerful, eye-catching, and exceptionally well-reviewed handset. Our in-depth Pixel 9 Pro Fold review, by the way, highlighted a level of functionality, a premium build quality, and a refined design that I never thought would be possible (certainly not so soon) when the deeply flawed first-gen Samsung Galaxy Fold burst onto the scene back in 2019. Of course, Google waited until 2023 to throw its hat in the ring with a surprisingly solid but far from perfect Pixel Fold, and while this second-gen device we're talking about here today is not flawless either, it's definitely moving in the right direction, especially at a lower-than-ever price of $1,099.

That's obviously not conventionally affordable territory, but you have to remember that this is a product that essentially takes the 6.3-inch screen of the aforementioned Pixel 9 Pro and makes it play second fiddle to a ginormous 8-inch primary display. Now, you wouldn't expect to pay 700 bucks for that, would you? Certainly not when the bendy flagship also comes with five different cameras that are currently making me drool in five different ways over my keyboard, as well as a large... enough 4,650mAh battery, a whopping 16GB RAM paired with that aforementioned 256 gigs of internal storage space, and absolutely unrivaled long-term software support. And yes, I realize an improved Pixel 10 Pro Fold with an even bigger battery is literally 24 hours away from an official announcement, but I hope you also realize that thing's commercial release is not exactly around the corner.
Good news everyone! Over the past year we've been working on an exciting passion project of ours and we're thrilled to announce it will be ready to release in just a few short months.

Honor Magic V5 battery life and charging test results
Michail 19 August 2025 Honor Android Battery test Our Honor Magic V5 review is coming up, and we've already completed several of our in-house tests, including the battery life and charging components. The international version of the Magic V5 is equipped with a trendy Silicon-Carbon battery boasting a 5,820 mAh capacity (vs. 6,100 mAh on the Chinese model) and comes with 66W wired charging support. The phone did not disappoint when it comes to endurance, securing an Active Use Score of 11 hours and 52 minutes. bigpic/ data-battery2=33:45_9:46_14:06_7:36> The result positions the Magic V5 ahead of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Huawei Mate X6 and in the same ballpark as the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. We also see a noticeable step up from last year's Magic V3. We also ran the tests on the external display with the main one folded. The V5 scored similar Active Use scores to its predecessor, but with different proportions, including noticeable gains in the calls and gaming components. Moving on to the charging test, Magic V5 showed some competent speeds and completed a full charge in exactly 53 minutes. The phone was sitting at 36% after 15 minutes on the charger and reached 67% at the half-hour mark. These results place the Magic V5 in the right behind key competitors like the Oppo Find N5 and vivo X Fold3, which boast faster 80W and 120W charging support.

The new Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is here to set a new standard for portable power reliability
Anker Solix, one of the most popular portable power station brands, has just announced the launch of its next-generation backup power source. The new Solix C1000 Gen 2 builds on its predecessor and features faster charging speeds and more durable LiFePO4 battery cells rated for 4,000 cycles to 80% capacity. This lightweight portable power station can power 99.99% of appliances, making it highly reliable for home use, as well as van trips, off-grid adventures, and more. It weighs just 24.9lbs (11.3kg), and Anker states it's 14% smaller than most 1,024Wh units on the market. What really stands out about the Solix C1000 Gen 2 is its impressive range of ports. The 1,024Wh unit delivers continuous 2kW output and allows you to run up to 10 devices simultaneously. Here's what you'll find on board: 5 AC outlets 3 USB-C ports (2x140W, 1x15W) 1 USB-A port (12W max) 1 cigarette lighter outlet (120W) That's a solid setup however you look at it! Even better, the model supports SurgePad technology within the Anker app, boosting its output to 3000W for power-hungry appliances. With so many ports and such a solid output, the Solix C1000 Gen 2 can power everything from laptops, phones, and drones to refrigerators and air conditioners. Another impressive feature here is the ultra-fast uninterruptible power supply system (UPS). The unit comes with a UL1778-certified UPS with a switchover time of less than 10ms. That's crucial for any gadget that can't afford a power hiccup, from CPAP machines to Wi-Fi routers. Factor in the fully remote control through the Anker app and the ultra-fast recharging — 0-100% in just 49 minutes using UltraFast charging mode — and you've got a seriously reliable power companion. Considering all these upgrades — including not one, but three USB-C ports — I think the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is bound for success. Brands have clearly recognized the need for more USB ports, and Anker is leading the way with a thoughtful upgrade. What's more, with five AC outlets, you'll never have to worry about which appliance to power during a blackout. In my book, that makes it a clear winner among portable power stations. Availability Announced on August 19, the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 will be available at retailers starting September 8 for $799. However, Anker is offering a limited-time chance to grab it at an exclusive price of only $429. All you need to do is sign up to receive a unit by September 8 at the official Anker Solix Store. Good news everyone! Over the past year we've been working on an exciting passion project of ours and we're thrilled to announce it will be ready to release in just a few short months.
