If you’re looking for extra battery life on your Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge, look no further than Mophie’s new juice pack cases. Not only will they protect your phone and provide extra battery life, they have a feature no other Mophie case has.

These cases offer built-in wireless charging for Qi and other wireless charging technologies. This means that you can recharge the case and the phone at the same time using any wireless charger. Now that’s convenience. Don’t have a wireless charger? No problem, because you can still use a traditional Micro USB cable.

The Galaxy S7 case comes with a built-in 2,950mAh battery, which nearly doubles the 3,000mAh battery that’s already inside the phone. The S7 Edge case comes in at 3,300mAh, which brings the total power to a whopping 6,900mAh,

Each case has a standby button so you don’t have to use the extra juice unless you need it. Based on how they recharge your phone’s battery, Mophie says you’ll get about 60 percent more battery life.

On top of all this, you’re getting a case that will protect your phone from all those annoying dings and scratches.

Both the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge versions go for $99 each. You can also add on a fast charge wall adapter for $21 and/or a memory-flex Micro USB cable for $18. Shipping is free in the U.S. for orders over $50.

Does the Samsung Galaxy S23 have wireless charging?

A person holding the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series packs a slew of features. The phones offer bright AMOLED displays, cameras capable of a minimum of 30x zoom across the lineup, big batteries, and more. While the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the best from Samsung, the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus also pack top-notch features. But does the Galaxy S23 series have wireless charging?

It may seem like a no-brainer question, but it's an important one to ask. Some phones fully support wireless charging, while other phones — like the OnePlus 11 — don't have it at all.

Samsung’s self-repair program launches for Galaxy S21, S20, and Tab S7 Plus

Earlier this year, Samsung announced that it would allow Galaxy device owners the option to repair their gadgets themselves. A few months later, the company's self-repair program has finally gone live. Launching for the Galaxy S21 and S20 lines of smartphones, as well as the Tab S7 Plus, device owners won't need to discard their smartphones and tablets if they're malfunctioning. Instead, they can purchase repair parts and tools for quick, do-it-yourself fixes.

While device repair might sound like a daunting endeavor, Samsung is providing full access to online repair guides that give step-by-step instructions on how to fix specific issues and replace crucial elements. Additionally, replacement parts and repair tools will be available through a handful of retailers, including iFixit, Samsung 837, and Samsung retail stores.
