How 3 Galaxy S23 Ultra camera features completely changed my vacation

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has the most versatile set of cameras on any phone, and it's the phone I took with me to the Mobile World Congress (MWC) event in Barcelona, Spain, last month.

After my work at MWC 2023 was done, I had some free time to explore the beauty of Spain, and in doing so, the Galaxy S23 Ultra helped me capture some amazing shots that wouldn’t be possible on any other device. Here are the three Galaxy S23 Ultra camera features that I used extensively and which helped me make my trip memorable.
The clarity in 10x zoom is mind-blowing

Yes, we really are completely spoiling the OnePlus 11 and Buds Pro 2 launch

The OnePlus 11 and the OnePlus Buds Pro 2.

Do you think you know all about the OnePlus 11? What about the OnePlus Buds Pro 2? It’s probably fair if you do consider yourself well-informed about them both. After all the leaks and OnePlus’s decision to launch the phone and earbuds in China during CES 2023, there’s a good chance you feel pretty clued up on the next big things from OnePlus.

While you may have had a glance at them already, and know the new phone will use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, plus have seen the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 will have Spatial Audio support, have you had a really good close look at the products? No, probably not. But we have, and in the interests of making the launch event almost entirely superfluous, we’re going to show both products off more right now.

Anker’s 150W charger has completely changed how I charge my gadgets

Anker 747 charger next to phones and other devices.

Let's face it: chargers aren't an exciting thing to talk about. Everyone uses them, and they're a necessity for any modern tech gadget. But reading an entire article where someone gushes over how cool a charger is? Sounds pretty nerdy!

Well, buckle up, nerds, because that's exactly what I'm doing for the next few hundred words. A few months ago, Anker sent me the 747 Charger — the latest addition to its GaNPrime lineup of chargers. It's probably smaller than the fast charger you're currently using, has significantly more ports, and is a whole lot smarter, too. It's not the flashiest piece of tech I've used this year, but easily one of the most impactful.
Heavy on ports, light on size
