Mobile Fun have received direct communication from genuine Samsung suppliers detailing the upcoming official line-up of cases and accessories for the new Note 20 smartphones.

What information was sent?

We’ve received full lists of specific Note 20 accessories including cases and replacement S-Pens for the two upcoming Samsung devices.

These accessories will form the entire official range for both devices, with the information informing us of each accessory’s name, colour, EAN and official part number, as seen below.

What does this tell us about the Note 20 series?

What we know for certain is that there will be two devices only, something which falls in-line with recent Note series releases and goes against some of the recent speculation regarding a three smartphone release, similar to the S20 release earlier in the year.

We can also see that both devices will have exactly the same amount of official case options, in the exact same colour choices, something which isn’t often the case with multiple phone variants in the same line-up.

Note 20 Colours?

While we don’t know for certain what colours the Note 20 series will be released in, we can look to the colours of the official accessories for guidance. With black, copper brown, mint, green, brown, silver, white and grey all being listed as colour options for the official case range, it’s not abundantly clear which colours the phone will come in. However when you take a look at the Note 20 S-Pen range and the colours available there, things start to look a little more transparent. With the S Pens coming in black, white, grey, copper and mint, it’s likely that these colours will be the options available for Samsung’s new phones.

Listed for sale

Such is the trust Mobile Fun has with the information received and with whom it was received from, that we’ve already begun taking pre-orders on these Note 20 official accessories, all of which can be found listed on Mobile Fun’s Galaxy Note 20 pages below:

Many new Motorola Edge owners will be wondering if their device supports wireless charging? And unfortunately the answer is no. While the Motorola Edge Plus model does, the standard Edge doesn’t need to be left behind as with a few handy accessories you can enable this modern charging method on your phone, as we’ll detail below.

1. Wireless Charging Adapters

This Olixar ultra thin wireless charging adapter is the perfect way to add wireless charging to the Motorola Edge. With it’s premium build-quality and coil placement, set-up is extremely quick and easy, just plug the adapter into your Motorola Edge’s USB-C port, tuck it around the back of your phone and you’re good to go! Olixar have also designed the adapter to be extremely thin and case compatible, allowing it to work with most cases on the market.

2. Wireless Charging Cases

Popular handsets without wireless charging as standard, are often accompanied by official wireless charging compatible cases that covert the phone and bring it up to modern day standards. Unfortunately it seems as though Motorola have forgotten about this with the Edge, leaving it with very few official cases and at present no wireless charging options that feature the adapter built-in. We’ll keep our eyes out for any official or third party cases that might facilitate this feature and update the article accordingly.

3. Wireless Charging Pads

Now that you’ve upgraded your Motorola Edge with wireless charging, you’ll be in need of a wireless charging pad. 

There’s an abundance of wireless chargers available from various manufactures, however one of our favourites is the Slim 10W Fast Wireless Charging Pad from Olixar. With it’s overall slim and compact design, accompanied with it’s stylish design and fast charging capability, it’s certainly one of the top wireless charging pads available.

Additionally, wireless charging isn’t just limited to charging pads, as there are also wireless charging car holders and wireless charging power banks available, meaning you can really make use of this latest technological advancement.

Wrapping Up

Thanks for reading this article on how to add wireless charging to the Motorola Edge. We hope that you found this useful and any questions you may have had about wireless charging for the Edge have been answered. Although if you do have any further questions, please leave a comment below and we’ll get back to you.

Getting a new phone is a real moment for celebration, as your shiny new device brings with it a staggering amount of promise and potential. You can play games on it, record 4K videos, browse the web or listen to your favourite tunes – all on a diminutive object that slips effortlessly into your pocket (that’s certainly the case with the iPhone SE 2020, which is one of the most compact smartphones money can buy right now).

However, like so many items of consumer electronics, the appeal of the iPhone SE 2020 is improved dramatically when you combine it with a whole host of must-have accessories. With that in mind, we’ve cherry-picked some of our top recommended purchases below.

A Good Case

The iPhone SE 2020 is a gorgeous object to look at, even if it does use a design from a few years back. Apple’s products are famed for their appealing looks, so it seems almost odd to want to cover that up the moment you take the phone out of its box. However, accidental drops or scratches can drastically reduce the allure of your new handset, so a case really should be at the very top of your must-buy accessory list.

If you want a case that provides decent protection without completely covering up the phone’s gorgeous curves, then the Ringke Fusion X comes highly recommended – it supplies adequate protection where it counts but has a transparent back panel so you can still see the phone underneath.

Protect That Screen

While smartphone screens are covered by next-generation toughened glass which is designed to prevent scratches and marks, no material is totally impervious to damage and, without some kind of screen protector, you can expect to see unsightly marks appearing on your phone over time.

Getting a decent screen protector in place as soon as possible is a good idea; the longer you leave it, the more likely you are to pick up blemishes that reduce the value of your device. Olixar’s tempered glass screen protector is cheap and tough, so give that a try – if you plan to re-sell your phone at a later date, you’ll be thankful.

Who Needs Wires?

One of the big selling points of the iPhone SE 2020 is the fact that it supports wireless charging, which means you don’t have to worry about plugging it into the wall socket whenever you need to top it up – just pop it onto the wireless charger and it will gobble up that juice with less fuss.

There are a wide range of chargers on the market but this Olixar effort doesn’t break the bank and is slim enough to fit on any desk or bedside table.

Get The Big Screen Experience

If we were going to be picky with the iPhone SE 2020 then we’d say the screen could be a little larger, but not to worry – if you fancy some big-screen Netflix movies then you can make use of this lightning-to-HDMI adapter which allows you to link your humble smartphone up to your TV.

No 3.5mm Jack? No Problem

Apple ditched the 3.5mm headphone socket a long time ago, so if you’re upgrading from the original iPhone SE, you might find yourself a little lost with a pair of wired headphones.

Don’t worry though, as wireless headphones are cheap enough these days, so making the upgrade isn’t as painful as you might imagine. These stylish earbuds not only connect seamlessly with your phone, but you can also use them to make and take phone calls when you’re out and about.

Apple’s iPad Pro 12.9″ has been updated for 2020 and is packed full of features. If you’ve decided to buy one, keeping your new iPad Pro protected should certainly be on your list.
