We’re big fans of Satechi’s devices, with a number of its products claiming spots on our list of the best USB-C chargers, docks and other accessories. If it’s USB-C charging you’re looking for, Satchi’s four-port USB-C PD charger with a 165-watt output is an ideal pickup if you need to charge multiple devices at once when on the go. It’s $24 off with the above code.

A good wireless charger is also something worth nabbing today. Satechi makes a few, but its simple 9-watt Qi charger is a good choice if you just want to place your phone down on your nightstand or desk. Down to $10, it’s actually 75% off right now without the code, and it falls to just $8 with the code. Unlike a lot of wireless chargers, it doesn’t look like a cheap chunk of plastic, thanks to its aluminum build. If you have multiple devices to power up, the Satechi Trio Wireless Charger falls to $96 at checkout and can power up your phone, AirPods and Apple Watch all at once.

There are plenty of other great picks in the sale, including USB-C hubs, computer mice, phone stands and much more. Be sure to check out the entire sale and save while it’s on.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Might Come in 5G and 4G Cellular Models

If the rumor proves true, the 5G Galaxy Watch Ultra would rival the 5G-enabled $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3 that debuted last fall.

Samsung’s next high-end Galaxy Watch could support faster 5G speeds, but if this leak is true, it will depend on where you live. The rumored Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 might come in 5G and 4G cellular models, with availability for each smartwatch depending on the country.

According to the Dutch website Galaxy Club (and spotted by SamMobile), Samsung’s servers may have revealed a series of model numbers that point to 5G, 4G and Wi-Fi-enabled editions of the next Galaxy Watch Ultra, which would succeed the original model that debuted in 2024.

A representative for Samsung did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Galaxy Club website speculates that the 5G edition would be sold in the US and Korean markets, while the 4G edition would sell in the rest of the world. In the US, a 5G version of the Galaxy Watch Ultra would rival the 5G-enabled $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3, which debuted last fall. The 4G edition would have broader compatibility worldwide, since the earlier network is far more established.

It will likely be a few months until we hear anything official about the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Samsung typically unveils its new watches in the summer alongside its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip foldable phones. Last year, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Watch 8 and the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, but otherwise left the prior 2024 Ultra in the lineup for those looking for a larger 47mm smartwatch.
