Samsung Wireless Power Sharing Feature

Battery capacity and charging are some of the most important and affecting aspects of smartphones. In case your phone’s battery is just about to die, you’ll surely need to have a charging adapter as well as a cable. However, the Samsung power sharing feature will be like a boon in case you forgot your phone’s charger.

Flagship Samsung smartphone offers Wireless PowerShare feature that allows you to charge other Qi-compatible Galaxy devices including phones, smartwatches, and TWS earbuds. Compared to wired chargers, the wireless power share feature shares quite a reduced current, causing slow sharing on the secondary device.

Still, it’s an impressive and useful feature in case you are away from the house, forgot to keep a charger, or facing electricity connection issues. You can seamlessly charge your Galaxy devices with a Galaxy phone, however, it must have adequate charging itself.

How often do you use it?

Flagship smartphones launched starting the Galaxy S10 series support wireless power share, letting users charge a phone or smartwatch, or earbuds. However, Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, S8/S8+, S9/S9+, Note 8, and Note 9 are devices that can be charged through a phone but lacks power sharing feature.

How it works and how to use?

Having both compatible devices, you need to adjust their position to make sure good connection in between as the placement location of the wireless charging coil varies by the device as foldables need to be in folded condition. However, it can also affect network call reception or data services.

Your primary phone must have to be charged at least 30% to use the PowerShare feature. From the quick settings, you need to tap the toggle of Wireless PowerShare. It could be seen after further expanding the quick settings panel or you may need to add it in quick settings using the pencil tool.

Once done, it’s time to place the PowerShare phone and a compatible device back to back, the charging will begin on the secondary phone automatically. If you want to stop the charging, just ditch the secondary phone from the sharer and that’s it!

Thanks to the One UI software, it will automatically disable the Wireless PowerShare feature after 1 minute when no other device is detected. One more thing, you can use the wired charger to charge your Samsung phone that is already sharing power with another device wirelessly.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 US model packs Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5

The US variant of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. There were reports that Samsung may expand the Exynos chipset to its foldable lineup, which doesn’t seem to be happening, at least in the United States.

Recently, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 US variant was spotted on Geekbench with Snapdragon chip. It isn’t surprising as the company is following its conventional chipset strategy. We expect that it will be the same chipset used in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy.

The Flip 6 smartphone scored 15084 points on Geekbench’s GPU test. Due to its foldable form factor, the device may miss a Galaxy S24-like larger cooling technology. Still, its impressive 15000+ points in the GPU test indicates that Samsung has greatly optimized the software.

The company still has three months remaining in the launch event. More performance improvements will likely be achieved before the Unpacked. The South Korean tech giant will likely unveil the next-gen foldable phones in mid-July.

This year, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra would join the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6. In addition, an affordable variant of Fan Edition branding is also in development. However, the cheaper foldable would miss some pro-grade specs to maintain the price.

Samsung’s new 5G modem fuels satellite connectivity in Google Pixel 9 series

Pixel 9 samsung modem

Google‘s Pixel 9 series is ready to introduce a significant upgrade with emergency satellite connectivity and new Samsung modem. This series aims to solve the persistent connectivity problems seen in previous Pixel models.

According to the information via AndroidAuthority, Samsung Modem 5400 will be integrated with Tensor G4 chips for the Pixel 9 series to bring significant improvements in terms of speed, power efficiency, and stability

The Pixel 9’s modem will support 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN), which means it will enable satellite-based communication. This is particularly important for emergencies where standard network coverage is unavailable.

Moreover, this innovative feature is not exclusive to the Pixel 9. The next-generation Pixel Fold and a 5G tablet, currently under development, will also be equipped with the same modem.

One of the most notable features of this upgrade is the ability to connect with emergency services via satellite, which is crucial for users in areas without cellular coverage. To facilitate this, Google has implemented a system that guides users through a set of questions, allowing for quick communication with emergency responders. For example,

  • What happened?
  • [Are you/Are they/Is everyone] breathing?
  • In total, how many people are [missing/trapped]?
  • What best describes your situation?
  • What is on fire?
  • Are there weapons involved?

Although the release details for the 5G tablet are still unclear, the Pixel 9 series is expected to lead the way in mobile communication technology, ensuring users can remain connected in any location.
