BondE SNAP Charge is a modular power pack for your smartphone

Let’s face it: There’s nothing more frightening than your phone dying on you in the middle of the day. And while smartphones continue to get better, battery life hasn’t seen a significant boost in like, forever.

Until that happens, power banks are must-haves. These portable smartphone battery packs come in all shapes and sizes, some are built into cases, and I even have one built into my wallet.

Unfortunately, none of these solutions are very elegant. If you’re like me, you probably walk around clutching both a phone and power pack with a cable dangling out.

As awkward as this looks, I prefer this to battery cases as I’m not a fan of the extra bulk that usually comes with it. Don’t even get me started about how ugly the iPhone battery case looks.

That’s why I was pretty excited when I came across the BondE SNAP Charge battery system at the Global Source Consumer Electronics Show in Hong Kong last week.

The case is reminiscent of Apple’s own silicon cases in both look and feel — except for the BondE logo at the back, which is how these modular, wireless power packs magnetically latch on.

No wires, no mess. The SNAP Charge has 2000mAh of power, good enough for almost a full charge. The company promises you can get to 60 percent in 30 minutes.

The awesome part is that they’re stackable.

And if you and your friend both have power packs. You can charge one SNAP Charge using the other just by snapping them together.

One quick swipe on the power pack changes the direction of the charge. So you can choose which power pack is master and which is slave.

And it snaps on to a wireless charging pad that can top up your phone and the power pack at the same time.

The BondE SNAP charging system launched in China this week and retails for about US$ 89.

It comes in five colors: red, pink, yellow, teal, and blue and is available for the iPhone 6, 6s, 7, and 8 (and their respective Plus models). There are supposedly models for the Galaxy S and Note line, as well.

Orders can be placed online via www.bonde.shop.

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT

Compatible with most keyboards and mice

Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.

Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.

Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.

While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

Logitech has unveiled its newest heavy-duty gaming keyboard: The Logitech G Pro X 60 Lightspeed gaming keyboard. The latest G Pro series addition is engineered in collaboration with top esports athletes, and promises exceptional performance and precision specifically for gaming.

The gaming keyboard is available in White, Black, and Magenta and retails for PhP 10,955. Customers may also choose between two GX Optical Switches configurations: tactile and linear. These upgraded switches boast faster and more precise actuation, as well as increased durability. The G Pro X 60 has a distinct design, with the keys quite elevated from the keyboard base.

As the model name suggests, the new offering is also the first Logitech product to boast of a 60% keyboard form factor. This portable keyboard allows users to have more space for dynamic mouse movements compared to full-sized keyboards.

The innovative Keycontrol feature, meanwhile, lets users assign up to 15 various shortcuts and combinations per key. Gamers will benefit from being able to tailor the keys specifically to their needs by customizing the keyboard keys with commonly used commands and audio and lighting effects.

The gaming keyboard also comes with Lightsync RGB. Users may choose from about 16.8 million colors and customize each key’s individual color. Connectivity-wise, users may use the keyboard via Bluetooth, USB, and 2:1 pairing with a PRO gaming mouse.
