Modern wireless technology has opened up the door for all sorts of mobile device innovations, even for such mundane activities as charging your phone. First introduced in 2008, the Qi interface rewrote the book on chargers by allowing mobile devices to be powered up wirelessly via inductive charging.

There are now a myriad of affordable wireless charging docks available on the market for Qi-enabled phones, and one of our favorites is the

Satechi wireless charging pad

, which we featured near the top of our list of best wireless chargers. This sleek circular pad is just under four inches wide and less than one-third-of-an-inch thick, and its aluminum housing and metallic finish make it an attractive alternative to other chargers with uninspiring designs.

Satechi’s charging pad provides a 2A power output for quickly charging Qi-enabled Android and Windows devices, including Samsung, Nexus, LG, and HTC phones. Models with a fast-charge feature Satechi wireless charging pad such as the Galaxy S8 will enjoy even snappier recharges, with a 40 percent boost over standard speeds. The dock can charge phones through their cases, and non-Qi devices can work with the pad via compatible charging cases or Qi receiver adapters.

A small blue LED light indicates when the charger is in use and a green light lets you know when charging is complete — just in case your phone’s display is turned off. A rubber cross on the charging pad keeps your device from sliding around on its smooth surface, while rubber feet on the bottom of the unit keep it secure on your desk or table.

Normally priced at $30,

can now be yours for just

after a 50 percent discount. The dock is currently available in four attractive color configurations: A gray aluminum housing with a black charging pad surface, silver-colored aluminum with a white surface, gold-colored aluminum with black, and rose gold-colored aluminum with white.

Apple Mother’s Day Sale: Save big on latest AirPods, Apple Watch, and iPad

The iPad 10.2 being used.

With Mother's Day less than a week away, now is the time to order something if you haven't already. Fortunately, choosing the perfect gift has been made easier as the holiday coincides with lots of irresistible deals on the latest Apple tech. We've rounded up the absolute best discounts that we can find on the Apple AirPods (2nd Gen), AirPods Pro, Apple Watch Series 3 and Series 5, iPad 10.2, and iPad Mini so you can fulfill mom's wish without breaking the bank.
Apple AirPods (2nd Gen) — from $136

What's the difference between the first and second generation of AirPods beside the wireless charging case upgrade? Not much, to be honest. They look exactly the same, although there are some notable improvements underneath the hood of the second-gen, including the H1 chipset, longer talk time, and support for voice-activated Siri. They also remain ridiculously easy to operate and set up for iOS devices, although the lack of waterproofing or workout features is baffling considering the price point (you can take the Galaxy Buds to the gym, and they cost less). Right now, you can get the AirPods 2 with the standard wired charging case for $136 (down from $160) at Verizon and $170 (down from $200) for those with a wireless charging case.

LG for the holidays: Take $400 off the 77-inch LG C3 OLED TV

LG C3 OLED

With Christmas nearly here, we’re guessing there’s at least a handful of shoppers running around stores, scouring aisles for TV deals. And while most of the smaller TVs are at astronomically low prices, the larger, more advanced sets are often still expensive. This is why it’s a great idea to take a look at markdowns on slightly older TVs that are still sold brand-new, like this fantastic LG offer:

For a limited time, when you purchase the LG 77-inch C3 Series OLED through Best Buy, you’ll only pay $1,900. Mind you, this TV once cost $2,300 at full price. We reviewed the LG C3 Series back in 2023, and editor at large Caleb Denison called it “a stellar TV.”
