Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. A few years ago, I had a vision of never needing a mobile hotspot again. After all, my iPhone — a gadget that’s never more than an arm’s length away — has that feature, and connecting to it is a doddle if all your devices have the Apple logo. But it’s a poor experience. Try as I might, the connection is almost always unstable and slow (especially when streaming or connecting to a remote system). It’s a ma...

The OnePlus 15R has Top 5 battery life in our chart thanks to its 7,400mAh battery. With 80W charging, it only takes 53 minutes for a 0-100% charge. The phone has a 6.83” 165Hz OLED display (10-bit colors, Dolby Vision) and is powered by the non-Elite Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. Alas, the camera lacks a telephoto lens, which is a downgrade from the 13R. The Xiaomi 15T has a similar display, a 6.83” 120Hz OLED with 12-bit colors and Dolby Vision. This features the Dimensity 8400 Ultra chipset...

I love MagSafe batteries and by this point, I have probably tested hundreds of them. There are plenty of great options out there with different capacities, charging speeds, built-in cables, and diagnostic displays, and there seems to be a MagSafe battery variant for any situation. But the feature I like most is thinness. While it’s great to have 10,000 mAh in a battery, that adds too much extra bulk in most daily cases. So over the last few months, I have been on the hunt for slim MagSafe batt...
