Don't upgrade your phone — just upgrade your phone case with the Zee Smart Core

ZEE CORE SMART CASE, makes your mobile device smarter. Fits and works with all mobile devices.
You don’t need to get a new phone to upgrade your mobile experience. You just need a smart phone case. Meet the newest device from Hello Zee — an “intelligent universal Zee Smart Core” that promises up to 128GB of memory, a full battery charge, LED light, and protection for your iPhone, Android, or tablet.

“The ZEE Core Smart Case is not just your traditional mobile accessory. It’s designed to last through your digital lifetime and offers an instant upgrade to any mobile device that you own,” said Hello ZEE founder Henry Elgrissy. “Imagine never having to worry if your external battery works with your new device or any other device you own, or not having to buy a completely new set of accessories every time you upgrade your phone. That is the freedom the ZEE Smart Core provides.”

Branded as “the most comprehensive multipurpose mobile accessory available,” the Zee Smart Core has been Apple-certified, but is compatible with a wide range of devices. With a 2,600mAh smart battery, wireless charging and micro USB charging capabilities, up to 128 GB of additional internal memory, and a powerful LED light that allows you to take impressive photos and videos regardless of lighting conditions, this is one case that does a lot more than prevent scratches.

You can manage your phone’s charging status by way of the Zee Core app, which can detect when your device’s battery is low and automatically initiate charging (or await your command). Better still, the case allows for wireless charging — just place your device on any Q1 charge pad, and the Smart Case will begin re-powering it. Once your phone or tablet is fully charged, the Smart Case will collect the additional power for itself.

Of course, if you don’t have a charge pad handy, that’s no problem either — you can still charge your phone via the dual use Micro USB charging port featured in the Zee Smart Case.

You can choose from three different options when it comes to the case, which are related to the memory allotment — there’s the 32GB Gun Metal, 64GB Silver, and 128GB Gold. With this additional storage space, you can manage a range of files and assets all from your phone case, and transfer data across operating systems and software. And of course, Zee promises that its built-in encryption will protect your information.

Cases start at $129, and increase in price based on your device model.

Don’t buy a Galaxy S24 Ultra or iPhone 15 Pro Max. Do this instead

“Do I need all that?” That’s the question on the mind of shoppers before they splurge a now-standard $1,000 asking price for a top-tier phone in 2024. Ideally, that dilemma should be there. The likes of Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Max have won laurels for a handful of standout features they offer. But you might not need those standout features at all.

I’ve been on that road, and more frequently than I have the temerity to admit. For some reason, regret comes as part of the $1,200 flagship parcel. That's unless your phone is a part of your creative or work process, or you just don’t care and only want the latest and greatest for the vanity of it. A segment like that certainly exists, but that affluent user base doesn’t dictate the journey of a product.

Don’t update your Google Pixel phone — you might break it

One of the reasons to buy a Google Pixel phone is to be first in line to receive software updates — from new Android versions to important security patches. Unfortunately, one of the latest updates from Google is breaking some Pixel phones.

Over the weekend, a Reddit user on the r/GooglePixel subreddit compiled a list of threads from nearly a dozen Pixel owners reporting issues with their phones after downloading the most recent January 2024 Google Play system update.

I controlled this smart plant with my iPhone and I’m in love

I’ll be honest with you — I don’t have much of a green thumb. I’ve tried to keep flowers alive for at least a week when I am gifted them, but they don’t seem to last more than a few days. I’ve tried to keep the front lawn of my house watered, but that doesn’t always happen every day due to me doing everything else that needs to get done and just being tired.

I do love having plants for decor, but again, dead plants don’t look great. That’s why I tend to lean toward fake plants because, well, they aren’t alive to begin with, but they certainly look the part.
