We’ve all seen the ads for wireless charging and wondered if it’s really worth it. Is wireless charging somehow better? How does it compare to traditional cable-based charging?
The answer is not as clear-cut as you may think. Not only do you need to consider the practical benefits of wireless charging, but you also have to evaluate how the technology works, what type of device you need to use it, and other factors.
In this article, we’ll explore the pros and cons of wireless charging to help you decide whether it’s right for your needs.
What is wireless charging?
We’ve all experienced seeing our battery charge drop to almost 0% making us panic and run searching for a wire to charge our phone, somehow being unable to plug it in until at least the 3rd try. This is especially nerve-wracking if you’re in the middle of paying a casino game on SlotsLV or answering urgent messages from your boss.
Well, wireless charging solves this anxiety-inducing situation almost completely. Wireless charging is a process of transferring energy from one device to another without the use of wires or cables. The most common type of wireless charging uses electromagnetic induction to transfer energy between two coils.
When an electrical current is passed through the primary coil, it creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field then induces a current in the secondary coil, which can be used to power the device.
How to use a wireless charger
Wireless charging is one of the most popular features on new smartphones, and for good reason: it’s incredibly convenient. But not all wireless chargers are created equal, some are simply better than others. They can have faster charging, or work with only certain types of devices, and some come with extra features that can be useful (or not).
Here’s what you need to know about how to choose the right charger for your needs. Most wireless chargers use either the Qi or PMA standard. Qi is more common and is used by companies like Apple, Samsung, LG, and Sony.
PMA is used by Duracell Powermat and other accessory manufacturers. If you’re not sure which standard your device uses, check the product manual or website.
Additionally, when choosing a wireless charger, there are several things you need to keep in mind such as the charging speed. Some wireless chargers are faster than others. If you want the fastest possible charge, look for a charger that supports fast-charging standards like Qualcomm Quick Charge or Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging.
And not all wireless chargers work with all devices. If you have an iPhone, for example, make sure to get a charger that supports the Qi standard. You should also be on the lookout for wireless chargers that come with extra features like LED display lights, temperature control, and overcharge protection. Consider which features are important to you before making a purchase.
Once you’ve chosen a wireless charger, be sure to read the instructions carefully before using it. Most wireless chargers require you to place your device on the charging pad in the correct orientation in order for it to charge properly.
The pros and cons of wireless charging
There are several benefits of wireless charging over traditional methods. One benefit is that it eliminates the need for messy cables and cords. Wireless charging also offers the convenience of being able to charge your devices without having to remove them from their cases or covers.
Additionally, wireless charging is typically faster than wired charging, meaning you can get back to using your devices sooner. And you can continue using your device without any pesky cords or plugs getting in the way. They are also becoming more common and easier to find, so you’re not limited to using only proprietary chargers from your device’s manufacturer.
However, there are also certain drawbacks to this technology. Wireless chargers tend to be more expensive than traditional chargers.
Moreover, you have to make sure your device is properly aligned with the wireless charger for it to work properly, which can be a bit tedious. They can also be bulkier than traditional chargers, so they may not be as convenient to travel with.
Conclusion
So, should you switch to wireless charging? Ultimately, the decision of whether to use a wireless charger or a traditional cable-based charger will boil down to your personal preference and lifestyle.
Wireless charging is becoming more popular due to its convenience and ease of setup, but traditional chargers still have their place in many people’s lives.
If you’re someone who hates dealing with tangled cords, or you’re always on the go and need the convenience of being able to charge your devices quickly and easily, then wireless charging may be the right choice for you.
On the other hand, if you need reliable fast charging capabilities and don’t mind dealing with cords, then a cable-based charger is probably the better option.

The 1.78-inch AMOLED display offers a 60Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 500 nits. We reviewed the Nord Watch recently and were pleased by the touch response of the display and the versatility of its fitness tracking. The 230 mAh battery provides a week’s worth of juice even on above-average usage. When the smartwatch is on stand-by it can last up to 30 days.
Steelbird Bike Riding Gloves with Touchscreen Sensitivity
Price: Rs 599While it isn’t exactly a ‘tech’ gift, the Steelbird riding gloves are a great accessory that allows riders to handle touchscreen interfaces without taking the gloves off.

If you are a new YouTube creator, standing out in a sea of content can be a really hard task no matter how good your videos are. While there’s no substitute for engaging and good-quality content, you need the help of a bunch of tools to attract an audience online. If you’re wondering where to start out, we’ve got you covered. Here is our list of the 7 best apps for YouTube creators in 2023.Read Also: Upcoming Xiaomi Smartphones in 2023 – The Complete list
YouTube Studio
YouTube Studio is one quintessential app that should be a part of every content creator’s arsenal. YouTube’s official channel management app lets you connect with your community and handle your channel while you’re on the go. The ‘Channel Dashboard’ gives you a brief insight into how your videos are performing and the rate at which your channel is growing. Using the YouTube Studio app, you can sort through the comments on your videos using various filters and effectively moderate the comment section.
TubeBuddy
While YouTube Studio is a great app for channel management, it does little to advance your channel’s growth. This is where TubeBuddy comes into play. Can’t think of a catchy title for your video? TubeBuddy will suggest popular and high-performing keywords to craft the perfect title and tags. You will also find various tools that help you drive traffic to your videos and rank them higher in web searches. If that’s not enough, TubeBuddy also helps you test your thumbnails in advance and gives you an idea of how they will perform once you publish your video.
Adobe Premiere Rush
Need to edit videos on the go? Look no further than Adobe. With Adobe Premiere Rush you can arrange videos, audio, graphics, and photos with a simple drag and drop. You can also add graphics and other animations on top of the videos. The built-in camera functionality also lets you record high-quality videos from the editing app itself. On top of that, Adobe Premiere Rush provides thousands of royalty-free soundtracks to go along with your video.
Canva
If you want people to stay on your video once they’ve clicked on it, you need to retain their attention with crafty edits and interactive animations. While a good editing tool like Adobe takes care of all the cuts and transitions, you also need interesting graphics to go along with it. Having your video interlaced with text, animations, and graphics keeps it from being dry and one-dimensional. The viewers are less likely to move on to another video when there’s more stuff on the screen to hold their attention. Canva makes it incredibly easy to design graphics, thumbnails, banners, and posters with its accessible tools and thousands of templates. You can apply these graphics to your video in the Canva app itself. There’s even an extensive library of stock images, videos, and gifs to help you along the way.
Screen Recorder by InShot
If you create tutorials or gaming videos for YouTube, you definitely need a solid screen recording app that can take clear and high-definition recordings of the screen. InShot’s Screen Recorder app is the perfect tool for this purpose. First off, this app does not attach a watermark to the recordings, making them suitable to be published online. You can record your screen in HD resolution (1080p) at 60fps. There is no time limit to the length of videos. InShot even lets you record your own voice on top of the screen recording, making it incredibly easy to create tutorial videos. Gaming content creators can also record themselves in a small overlay window using the app’s Facecam.
Intro Maker
A good quality intro is one of the elements that separate professional YouTubers from amateurs. Well-recorded intros bring uniformity to your videos. With the Intro Maker app, you can easily create professional intros, outros, and end screens for your YouTube videos. This app has a collection of over 4,000 intro templates along with a plethora of sound effects, stickers, and other graphics. If you’re looking for something more original, you can also design an intro from scratch.
Fiverr
While the apps mentioned on this list will help you manage all creative and editing tasks on your own, sometimes it is not a bad idea to outsource some of the work and let a professional handle it. Fiverr is a platform where you can hire freelancers for various services ranging from scriptwriting, logo design, video editing, animation, and more. If there’s some task that is beyond your expertise, let a professional handle it for you. The price of services on Fiverr begins at $5.Read Also: Infinix Zero 20 with 60-megapixel selfie camera launched in India

But before we move further, let’s understand what 4K resolution is
You’ve probably heard the term “4K,” but you might not know what it means. The phrase relates to the resolution of an image. 4K resolution, often known as Ultra High Definition (UHD), is four times that of normal high definition (1080P).
Whereas a conventional high-definition image has 1,080 pixels on the vertical axis and 1,920 pixels on the horizontal axis for a total pixel count of 2,073,600, 4K resolution more than doubles these statistics. The resolution is named for the number of pixels along the width axis, which is over 4,000 in total at 3,840. A 4K image has a total pixel count of 8,294,400 (more than 8 megapixels). This increase in pixel count results in a crisper, clearer image.

The latest iPhone as a Christmas gift is always a no-brainer and probably the safest gifting choice. The iPhone 14 Pro comes with a new display and Apple’s biggest camera upgrade in years. The notch on the display has been replaced with a pill-shaped cutout which also houses the highly talked about ‘Dynamic Island’. The rear camera unit gets a 48MP primary sensor, a big upgrade over the 12MP lens on the previous version. Processor duties are handled by the new A16 Bionic chipset. iPhone 14 Pro also packs some new emergency features like crash detection and satellite connectivity. Read more about the latest iPhone in our review here.
Sony’s latest flagship headphones, WH-1000XM5, make a perfect gift for an audiophile friend. Sony has been regularly putting out great wireless headphones every year in its 1000XM series, and the 1000XM5 continues that tradition by improving upon the sound profile of its predecessor and being comfortably ahead of its competition. The WH-1000XM5 employs giant 30mm audio drivers to deliver a sensational audio performance. If that’s not enough, these headphones also offer state-of-the-art ANC assisted by 8 microphones. You also get up to 30 hours of playback on a single charge and fast charging support. For more details, read our review here.
Not many smartphones are able to make as big waves in their debut year as the Nothing Phone (1) did this year. While the smartphone may stand out because of its aesthetics (thanks to the see-through back panel design and the Glyph interface), do not be mistaken in thinking that it is a one-trick pony. The rear camera and image processing of the Phone (1) are surprisingly good for a smartphone in the midrange category. Read more about it in our detailed review here. If you’re looking for a powerful smartphone to gift to a tech enthusiast but don’t want to splurge on a flagship, the Nothing Phone (1) stands out as an obvious choice.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is arguably the best Android smartwatch on the market right now. Its BioActive sensors, health and fitness tracking, app integration and ease of accessibility make it an ideal gift for fitness freaks and regular tech enthusiasts alike. When we reviewed the Galaxy Watch 5 last month, we were blown away by the range of its fitness tracking and the accuracy of its health sensors. Even if you are not heavily into fitness, you’ll come to appreciate the density of the health data that the smartwatch is able to track across the day. On top of that, the dial faces and customisation options make it a pretty appealing bling to wrap around your wrist.
The Amazon Echo Dot with Clock makes a great nightstand addition. It is also one of the bestselling Echo devices. It comes with a minimal digital clock LED display and the standard LED lighting at the bottom. With the Echo Dot, you can play ambient sounds and white noise while you go to sleep, set up an alarm using Alexa, or even update your to-do list for the day. You can snooze the alarm by gently tapping on the top of the device.
The recently launched Acer H Series ticks all the boxes for the perfect Christmas gift. This 50-inch Smart TV comes sports a 4k display and a 64-bit Cortex a 55 quad-core CPU with up to 1.3GHz clock speed. The Acer H Series is nearly frameless with just a thick silver border running at the bottom. Designed to be placed in a large living room, the H Series delivers a great viewing experience, one that isn’t easily matched in this price range. The Android TV 11 OS supports all of the OTT apps and the TV comes preloaded with the major ones like Netflix and Prime Video. Acer may be new to the Smart TV market in India but it is consistently delivering great products at really attractive prices. Read our review here.
Looking for a budget-friendly laptop for students? The Lenovo ThinkBook 15 is a great buy at a reasonable cost. The Lenovo ThinkBook 15 features the AMD Ryzen 3 5300U processor and comes preloaded with Windows 11. While the standard variant has 256GB SSD storage along with 8GB RAM, there is also a 512GB SSD storage variant on offer. Brightness for the 15.6-inch Antiglare display is capped at 220 nits, which is optimum for indoor and outdoor usage. The laptop also comes with integrated AMD Radeon graphics.
When it comes to Auto Tech, Hero Electronix has one of the best product portfolios in India. The recently launched Qubo Dashcam can record high-quality footage in 4k (with Sony IMX 415 lens and SIGMASTAR SSC8629G) and also comes with ADAS features like lane departure warning, forward vehicle motion detection, and vehicle ahead alert. On top of that, the dashcam also sports an inbuilt GPS and is capable of taking time-lapse videos. The ‘Loop recording’ feature overwrites old footage to save storage space and the ‘Emergency event recording lock’ automatically saves the video in case of an event.
Looking for a no-nonsense fitness tracking smartwatch without wanting to splurge too much? The OnePlus Nord Watch fits the bill. The 1.78-inch AMOLED display offers a 60Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 500 nits. We reviewed the Nord Watch recently and were pleased by the touch response of the display and the versatility of its fitness tracking. The 230 mAh battery provides a week’s worth of juice even on above-average usage. When the smartwatch is on stand-by it can last up to 30 days.
While it isn’t exactly a ‘tech’ gift, the Steelbird riding gloves are a great accessory that allows riders to handle touchscreen interfaces without taking the gloves off. These gloves will come in handy for electric scooter owners that need to regularly handle the touch interface on their vehicle. Taking the gloves off every time you need to check your phone can be quite an annoyance, especially on pit stops during long rides. At a price of Rs 599, these gloves would make a thoughtful gift for someone that loves to ride.

YouTube Studio is one quintessential app that should be a part of every content creator’s arsenal. YouTube’s official channel management app lets you connect with your community and handle your channel while you’re on the go. The ‘Channel Dashboard’ gives you a brief insight into how your videos are performing and the rate at which your channel is growing. Using the YouTube Studio app, you can sort through the comments on your videos using various filters and effectively moderate the comment section.
While YouTube Studio is a great app for channel management, it does little to advance your channel’s growth. This is where TubeBuddy comes into play. Can’t think of a catchy title for your video? TubeBuddy will suggest popular and high-performing keywords to craft the perfect title and tags. You will also find various tools that help you drive traffic to your videos and rank them higher in web searches. If that’s not enough, TubeBuddy also helps you test your thumbnails in advance and gives you an idea of how they will perform once you publish your video.
Need to edit videos on the go? Look no further than Adobe. With Adobe Premiere Rush you can arrange videos, audio, graphics, and photos with a simple drag and drop. You can also add graphics and other animations on top of the videos. The built-in camera functionality also lets you record high-quality videos from the editing app itself. On top of that, Adobe Premiere Rush provides thousands of royalty-free soundtracks to go along with your video.
If you want people to stay on your video once they’ve clicked on it, you need to retain their attention with crafty edits and interactive animations. While a good editing tool like Adobe takes care of all the cuts and transitions, you also need interesting graphics to go along with it. Having your video interlaced with text, animations, and graphics keeps it from being dry and one-dimensional. The viewers are less likely to move on to another video when there’s more stuff on the screen to hold their attention. Canva makes it incredibly easy to design graphics, thumbnails, banners, and posters with its accessible tools and thousands of templates. You can apply these graphics to your video in the Canva app itself. There’s even an extensive library of stock images, videos, and gifs to help you along the way.
If you create tutorials or gaming videos for YouTube, you definitely need a solid screen recording app that can take clear and high-definition recordings of the screen. InShot’s Screen Recorder app is the perfect tool for this purpose. First off, this app does not attach a watermark to the recordings, making them suitable to be published online. You can record your screen in HD resolution (1080p) at 60fps. There is no time limit to the length of videos. InShot even lets you record your own voice on top of the screen recording, making it incredibly easy to create tutorial videos. Gaming content creators can also record themselves in a small overlay window using the app’s Facecam.
A good quality intro is one of the elements that separate professional YouTubers from amateurs. Well-recorded intros bring uniformity to your videos. With the Intro Maker app, you can easily create professional intros, outros, and end screens for your YouTube videos. This app has a collection of over 4,000 intro templates along with a plethora of sound effects, stickers, and other graphics. If you’re looking for something more original, you can also design an intro from scratch.
While the apps mentioned on this list will help you manage all creative and editing tasks on your own, sometimes it is not a bad idea to outsource some of the work and let a professional handle it. Fiverr is a platform where you can hire freelancers for various services ranging from scriptwriting, logo design, video editing, animation, and more. If there’s some task that is beyond your expertise, let a professional handle it for you. The price of services on Fiverr begins at $5.
