Huawei P30 Pro reverse wireless charging (49 of 60)

Reverse wireless charging has always been a weird feature. Ever since we first saw it in the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, it was clear that, while convenient, you usually lost way more power than you transferred to the other phone. But when Samsung first launched the Galaxy Buds with the Samsung Galaxy S10 series, it became clear to me that this feature was way more useful for accessories, which tend to have much smaller batteries.

Aside from the Starks and the Lannisters, few rivalries are more intense than Apple and Samsung. Our sister site SoundGuys took the companies’ latest true wireless earbuds — the AirPods (2019) and Galaxy Buds — for …

In the Android 11 Developer Preview, we’ve got a hint that the Pixel 5 might also end up supporting the feature. In the settings, there’s a menu for a feature called Battery Share. The feature warns that your phone’s battery will discharge faster when using it, and that it works with supported earbuds, watches, phones and more.

If you were really reaching, one could infer that this means the feature will work with the upcoming Pixel Buds 2. If you reached even further, you might determine that this means Google might finally launch a Pixel watch this year. But we won’t get our hopes up.

Do you use reverse wireless charging? What do you think of the feature, and would you like to see it on the Pixel 5? Let us know!

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
