International giveaway: Nillkin fast wireless-charging kits

Freedom from wires is like the holy grail of consumer tech.
In a perfect world, we wouldn’t need cables or plugs to connect devices, transfer files, get on the internet, or charge batteries.
And we’re getting there, with fast mobile internet leading the charge. Wireless charging is slowly becoming a reality, too, although it has yet to enjoy the ubiquity of WiFi. Many phones like Samsung Galaxy S7 and Note 7 have wireless charging built-in. You just rest them on a charging plate, then charging happens magically.
iPhone users aren’t as lucky. But thanks to third-party accessory makers — you’ve got workarounds. One such brand is Shenzen-based Nillkin, which we first came across when we were looking for aftermarket cases for our OnePlus 3.
Nillkin has an accessory called Magic Tags, which basically gives any smartphone wireless-charging capabilities. The accessory literally looks like a mini-luggage tag — but with a flap you stick onto the back of your phone and a strap-like cable for connecting to your phone’s charging port.
The accessory will work with any wireless charger that supports the Qi standard. Nillkin makes Qi chargers, too — and we have three sets of fast wireless-charging plates and docks to giveaway to y’all.
To enter our giveaway, just complete any of the tasks below. We’ll announce the winner on September 2nd, Friday.
Congratulations to the winners, Albert Balduman, Shazid Hasan Riam, and Ryan de Jesus. We have reached out to you via email. Please check your inbox!

Nillkin products are available in the Philippines through its official distributor.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro Review: Better than AirPods Pro?
Finally, real Active Noise Cancellation out of the box

Samsung has unveiled the newest Galaxy Buds Pro alongside the announcement of the latest Galaxy S21 series.
Other than the new design, better sound quality, and surround sound setup, there’s now a real and intelligent Active Noise Cancellation.
But do these earbuds live up to its ‘Pro’ branding? Watch our Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro review by clicking the video link right here.

Samsung is going from Live to Pro in the True Wireless (TWS) earbuds department with the all new Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro.
Samsung took their sweet time slapping on the “Pro” tag but it seems it’s well worth the wait. Headline features include intelligent Active Noise Cancellation or ANC and IPX7 water resistance among others.
The Galaxy Buds Pro has intelligent Active Noise Cancellation or ANC. It’s smart enough to adjust the noise cancelling levels depending on your situation and surroundings. If you’re out walking, it’ll adjust the noise levels to make sure you still hear if some vehicle is about to run you over. We don’t want anyone getting run over.
It can do this thanks to multiple audio settings that mimic multi-directional surround sound. It has a 6.5mm tweeter and 11mm woofer for better sound.
Additionally, it has IPX7 water resistance making it an ideal companion for when you’re working out. We all know it’s easier to get pumped up when you have your workout playlist blasting in your ears.
If you like to game, it has a Game Mode that reduces audio latency making sure you’re immersed in your gameplay.
It promises up to five (5) hours of Playback with ANC and up to 18 hours total. You can get up to 30 minutes of playback after 30 minutes of charging.
