Amazon shoppers rush to buy this £130 JBL speaker called ‘perfect for summer' – on sale for £74
NO barbecue or beach day is complete without the perfect soundtrack, and I've found the ideal speaker for the job. Right now, shoppers are racing to grab the JBL Flip 6 on Amazon, where it's been slashed from £129.99 to just £74.20. JBL Flip 6 Portable Speaker, £129.99 £74.20 BUY FROM AMAZON I spotted this gem climbing its way up Amazon's best selling portable speakers list, and the healthy saving is clearly driving its popularity. JBL is a household name in audio, known for its reliable, high-quality sound, and this model is among its best. The JBL Flip 6 isn't cheap though; it'll usually set you back around £130, so to nab it for less than £75 is a bargain. With over 1,000 purchases in the last month alone and an impressive 4.7-star rating, it's a summer essential shoppers are sold on. I haven't tested the Flip 6 myself, but having tried its successor, the Flip 7, I can confidently say JBL knows how to make a speaker sound great. The Flip 6 shares many of the same features that make the newer model a hit, so you can expect solid performance without splashing out a fortune. It can deliver bold, powerful audio with a two-way system that handles deep bass and crisp highs beautifully, but it's also built to keep up with your outdoor lifestyle. You won't have to stress about splashes or sand ruining your speaker, as its IP67 waterproof and dustproof design means you can bring it pretty much anywhere. With up to 12 hours of playtime on a single charge, it's ideal to chuck in your bag and have on hand for long days out or weekend trips. The real deal clincher here is grabbing a trusted brand like JBL for under £100, that's a serious win, especially when it packs such impressive audio and durability. Shoppers agree, with over 3,500 five-star reviews singing its praises. One reviewer applauded the speaker, saying, 'Great sound for its size and good battery life. And being waterproof too, it makes for the perfect summer speaker.' Another highlighted the bass, praising it as 'punchy and powerful, adding a vibrant energy to every track' without distorting at higher volumes. A third couldn't get over the battery life, saying, 'I have never got even close to draining it, even after days of usage.' Last week, I also came across an impressive saving on another essential item for on the go. A £23 Anker portable charger was down to just £8, making it a handy backup to keep your speaker going when it's running low.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 Battery and Charging: All expected changes
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 , expected to debut this summer, might not look wildly different from its predecessor, but there are signs that Samsung is working to improve the user experience — and that includes battery life and charging. Leaks suggest a larger battery is on the way, and that could make this stylish foldable a much more dependable daily companion. Similarly to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 may get a battery capacity bump. According to credible leaks, Samsung is planning to increase the battery size from 4,000 mAh (Flip 6) to 4,300 mAh for the Flip 7 . Flip 7 Receive the latest Samsung news Subscribe By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy Will the Galaxy Z Flip 7 series have better battery life? Z Flip 7 . Samsung increased the battery capacity with the Z Flip 6 by 300 mAh, and it seems another such increase is on its way with the Admittedly. 4,300 mAh is still a bit behind the 4,700 mAh on the Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) , but this upgrade would give Samsung's Flip series a much-needed boost. Galaxy Z Flip 7 series rumored charging upgrades 25W wired charging, same as the Flip 6. 15W wireless charging with standard Qi support. That's still decent, but it's falling behind the 68W wired charging of the Razr Ultra (2025). There are no reliable leaks suggesting faster charging, so we expect things to remain unchanged:That's still decent, but it's falling behind the 68W wired charging of the Razr Ultra (2025). How fast will the Galaxy Z Flip 7 series charge? If Samsung keeps the 25W cap, we expect it to charge to around 50% in 30-40 minutes, and 100% in a little over 90 minutes. Will the Galaxy Z Flip 7 series have wireless charging? Yes, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will have wireless charging. Expect the same 15W wireless charging as on the Flip 6. Samsung uses the Qi standard, so you don't need a proprietary charger — any decent Qi-certified pad will do. We don't expect to see any magnetic alignment with the Z Flip 7 . Will the Galaxy Z Flip 7 series have reverse wireless charging? Yes, reverse wireless charging is expected again. It's a feature Samsung has supported for years — you'll likely be able to charge buds, watches, or even other phones at up to 4.5W. As always, it's more of a convenience than a primary charging method. No word on whether the speed or efficiency of reverse charging will be improved in the Flip 7 . What charger will the Galaxy Z Flip 7 series use? The Galaxy Z Flip 7 will use USB-C with USB Power Delivery + PPS, just like other Samsung flagships. That means you don't need to use Samsung's charger to get near-maximum speeds. Any high-quality third-party USB PD/PPS charger (like those from Anker, Ugreen, or Baseus) will deliver solid results. As usual, no charger will be included in the box, though, so you will have to get a 25W (or better) separately if you don't already have one. With a larger 4,300 mAh battery and the more efficient Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, thecould surpass these numbers, potentially hitting 7 hours in our battery score.
