The pocket-sized power bank just locks into place and you can forget it's there. What's especially nice is it doesn't block the camera lenses at all so there is no need to remove the charger when taking photos or videos.
The magnet ensures it stays perfectly aligned to provide an efficient charge and can really extend the battery life of your phone. The phone charger has a 5,000mAh cell capacity.

Not Just a Phone Charger
While yes this magnetic portable phone charger does exactly that, it also doubles as a phone stand.
PopSockets took off several years ago to a point where you couldn't get onto a train without seeing at least a couple people with one attached to their phones. PopSockets grips make your phone easy to grab onto and old with one hand without risk of dropping. They've become especially helpful as phones have gotten heavier.
With the Anker MagGo portable magnetic charger, while it is lightweight, it certainly will add a bit of heft to your phone. Thankfully, it has a PopSockets grip integrated directly into the design. This makes it easy to handle with one hand and can even be used to stand the phone up horizontally — great for viewing videos the old fashioned way.
The fun part about PopSockets is the customizability they offer, with countless designs to show off your aesthetic and personality. Well the integrated grip is actually swappable so you can attach any PopSocket grip of your choice.
For a limited time, you can pick up the PopSockets x Anker MagGo 5,000mAh portable magnetic battery charger for just $25—a 50% discount from it's original price of $70.

Save Your Batteries, This Solar-Powered Security Camera Is 50% off Right Now

Are you looking to outfit your home with a new smart security camera? While sales events like Prime Day in July are a great time to buy, you can get this excellent Eufy wireless solar-powered 2K security camera today for only $65. The Eufy Solocam S220 is a capable outdoor security camera like any other, only it has a few fancy tricks up its sleeve. You won't have to run a bunch of long power wires or deal with constantly replacing or recharging batteries, something most security cameras struggle with. That's because this outdoor security camera is solar-powered and only needs about three hours of sunlight to keep tabs on your home daily. Eufy's Solocam S220's MSRP is $130, although it is often discounted to under $100. Lucky for you, Amazon just slashed the price by 50%, making this stellar camera only $64.99. So, what does this camera offer, and what can you expect for your money? Well, quite a bit, thankfully. It's easy to mount just about anywhere, although you'll want a spot with plenty of sunshine. Then, pair it with the Eufy app, and you'll get crystal-clear 2K resolution video of all the happenings around your home. While the battery inside is charged by the solar cell, you shouldn't have to deal with it at all. The Eufy Solocam S220 offers night vision thanks to an Infrared LED and movement detection. It also uses AI to detect familiar faces, animals, and more to know when a notification is worth sending. That way, you won't get alerts for a branch blowing in the wind. This outdoor solar-powered security camera only takes about five minutes to install. It has a durable IP67 rating to handle any outdoor conditions, 2-way audio, and custom security zones you can customize in the app, to name a few. More importantly, there's no monthly fee with Eufy, so you buy once and enjoy peace of mind for years to come. If there's a downside, the unit only has 8GB of storage, so storage space is somewhat limited. Either way, this solid camera makes home security a breeze. Grab yours before it sells out.

Lightroom is working on a solution to my most-hated part of photo editing – and I couldn't be more excited

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Between taking photos and editing photos sits one of my least favorite parts of photography: culling, or the process of choosing which photos to edit. As a wedding photographer, culling a gallery of several thousand images takes hours of clicking through to find the best shots. But Adobe Lightroom is working on a new tool that could help speed up the culling process. In a teaser on social media, Adobe shared that developers are working on AI filters, a tool that works to recognize throw-away shots, like shots that are out of focus and blinking portraits. The AI filters, like many of the Lightroom tools, use a slider, allowing photographers to control how strictly to apply these auto-selection filters. A clean-up slider will also help remove accidental shutter triggers, as well as shots that are over- or underexposed. The AI will also be able to auto-group similar shots together, like those taken with burst mode. AI culling tools aren't new – but the tools that exist are third-party platforms and plug-ins that add to the growing number of subscriptions. While I hate culling, my growing subscription aversion has prevented me from buying AI culling software. The idea of getting faster culling without another subscription is one that I can get on board with (albeit one that has recently increased in price). I'm a Lightroom Classic user, and many of the latest AI-based tools have saved me a lot of time. If AI can do to culling what subject selection did to masking, then such a tool would save me hours of sifting through photographs. Sometimes, accidental photos end up as happy surprises – an out-of-focus shot that still captures the emotion of the moment, for example. That's why I'm excited by AI-supportive culling that adds speed yet still leaves the photographer in the driver's seat. But where I think AI culling can save the most time is picking the best shot out of several similar images. I spent a lot of time looking at similar photos to find the one that's the sharpest and discarding the close-eye shots. When I chatted with Adobe during the B&H Bild Expo in New York, Adobe indicated the AI filtering would be coming later this year to both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop. AI-based subject detection has saved me hours on tasks like whitening teeth, without even using generative AI. I have high hopes that the upcoming Lightroom AI Filters tool brings more of the same time-saving shortcuts to culling. Tired of culling too? Browse the best photo culling software.

Tesla vs. Waymo: What is the difference between the vehicles?

Tesla's robotaxis are set to hit the streets of Austin, Texas. When it comes to self-driving vehicles, the EV giant faces stiff competition from the Alphabet-backed Waymo (GOOG, GOOGL), which already has vehicles on the roads in several cities, one of which may soon be New York City. Stifel NextGen Transport analyst Stephen Gengaro has ridden in both vehicles. He shares his key takeaways from his experiences and why, ultimately, Tesla (TSLA) may have a leg up on the rival.
