This Anker 3-Port 65W Foldable Charger Is Going for Peanuts, Never Seen a Price This Low
Think of a super-fast multi-device charger that can replenish the juice in everything from smartphones and Steam Decks to MacBook Pro and other power-hungry laptops, and your mind likely goes straight to one of those portable power stations. Sure, that would work well, but it's not exactly travel-friendly or something you want on your desk unless there's a power outage. Leave it to Anker to create a 3-port wall charger with 65 watts of high-speed charging power that can also fit in your hand or your pocket. That's the Anker 735 Charger, and it's a stunning Amazon deal right now for just $26. As if the regular $40 price isn't reasonable enough, at this price, you might want more than one. See at Amazon 'Only charger you need' is a bold statement indeed, but what else would you call a super-compact foldable wall charger (1.5 x 1.15 x 2.6 inches and 3.95 ounces) with two USB-C and one USB-A port that's capable of charging your smartphone, tablet, and laptop simultaneously? When you connect just one device at a time — say, a 13-inch 2020 MacBook Pro — you devote all 65W of charging power to it, enough to power it up at the same full speed as the massive Apple wall charger that came with it. That slender design really earns its stripes when you need to plug it into a tight space, either a wall outlet hiding behind furniture or a power strip with other devices hogging all the space. That teeny profile and light weight also make it the perfect travel companion so you can keep all of your devices powered up in a hotel room without scrambling for outlets that may or may not work. The Anker 735 is universally compatible — MacBooks, PC laptops, Chromebooks and Google Pixelbooks, tablets from Apple and Samsung and all their many competitors, earbuds and smartwatches, even handheld gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam Deck — they're all ready for fast, safe power-ups, as many as three at a time. And safe is a key word here — the Anker 735 has GaN II technology for upgraded heat dissipation so even with all that power surging into your devices, nothing gets fried. The pocket-sized Anker 735 Nano II 65W charger, its three ports, and its universal charging compatibility are there for the taking right now at Amazon. It's an incredible $26 price — 35% down from its regular $40 — that should have you seriously considering stocking up to bring fast charging to all the devices in the house and one for the road.

Google's answer to Apple's Handoff is coming with a welcome upgrade for Android (APK teardown)
Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on an Android-wide 'Handoff' feature for multi-device syncing. This feature will enable access to apps and media across your devices, and even sync notifications between them. Apple has a similar Continuity feature called Handoff, albeit without notification syncing. Last week, we spotted an in-development 'App Cast' tool within Google Play Services. Based on the strings, we speculated that Google could allow Android devices to stream apps installed on other hardware linked to your account. It seems Google has bigger plans for App Cast, as it could be one of the tools present in Android's version of Handoff. Yes, Google seems to be working on Android's own version of Handoff.

An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. Google Play Services v25.25.31 beta includes these new strings: Code Copy Text Continue tasks and access apps, media, and notifications across your devices Handoff Sync notifications across your devices Notifications Access your files across your devices Files & media sharing As you can see, the App Cast feature is tied to the upcoming 'Handoff' feature. The strings explain that this ecosystem feature is intended for multi-device syncing, letting users access apps, media, and notifications across devices. As is explicitly mentioned, your notifications will be synced across your devices (finally!), and you will also be able to share files and media between them. We know from the previous APK teardown that you will also be able to access your apps on your primary device remotely on your other devices. Handoff sounds familiar? Well, Apple has a similar Continuity feature called Handoff. Users can start a task on compatible apps on one Apple device and resume the task on a different Apple device, as long as both devices are signed into iCloud using the same Apple account. Samsung also has an App Continuity feature that lets you share and transfer files, answer calls, connect earbuds, enable hotspots, and more across your connected Galaxy devices. It's very clear where Google is getting its inspiration for the Handoff feature. Thankfully, the Google Play Services version of Handoff will also sync notifications, which is a big pain point for multi-device ecosystem users as users end up having to clear actioned notifications across multiple devices. We've previously spotted the notification syncing feature, but at the time, it wasn't very clear whether the feature would be a Pixel-exclusive or be coming to all Android devices. With these new strings now being spotted in Google Play Services under the Handoff umbrella, this is likely an Android-wide feature, as long as you have Google Play Services. Google has yet to announce anything related to Android's Handoff feature. We'll keep you updated when we learn more. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
