Nomad’s orange wallet tracker makes the AirTag look chunky and underdressed

Nomad's Stellar Orange collection is for Apple users looking to color-match accessories with their latest iPhones

Most phones accessories are built to be useful, but some look pretty while doing it. And Nomad’s latest limited-edition drop is trying a little harder. The company has launched Stellar Orange collection, which includes new versions of two existing products, namely Tracking Card Pro and the Stand One charger.

The best part? The color is matched to Apple’s latest Cosmic Orange iPhone. This already tells you exactly who this is for. People tend to color-match their gadgets to seem more coherent or seamless, and your wireless charging stand and wallet tracker want to join in as well. While it might not be essential, the consistency in looks does make it oddly satisfying.

Wallet tracker is both playful and useful

The more practical product here is the Tracking Card Pro, priced at $39. It works with Apple’s Find My network and is designed to slide into a wallet like a credit card. Nomad lists it at 85mm x 54mm x 2.5mm, with a 15g weight, a polycarbonate-and-aluminum body, with IPX7 protection.

Its biggest advantage over an AirTag is its design. Unlike Apple’s own smart tag, the Tracker Card Pro slips into your wallet seamlessly, rather than having to shove a thick tracker into a wallet. You don’t have to carry a coin-shaped lump anymore. Best part is that this flat form factor works well with MagSafe card wallets as well as card holders.

Nomad promises up to 16 months on a single full charge, and the card can even be topped up wirelessly using a Qi or MagSafe charger. All of this sounds great, but there’s a catch. It does not support Precision Finding, since Apple still doesn’t allow Ultra Wideband access for third-part trackers.

Shiny new desk charging setup

The Stand One Stellar Orange is the flashier part of the drop, which costs $135. You get a metal-and-glass Qi2 charger with up to 25W wireless charging for MagSafe and Qi2 devices, plus a rear 5W charging spot for AirPods or other Qi-compatible earbuds. It supports iPhone StandBy mode, weighs 575g, includes a 2-meter USB-C cable, and requires a 40W USB-C power adapter that is not included. This variant costs around $10 more the regular black and silver options, but brings that orange iPhone hue.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8: Everything we know about the upcoming clamshell folding phone
Of the three phones expected to arrive at Galaxy Unpacked, the Flip 8 is shaping up to be the most underwhelming.
Three Galaxy Z Flip 7 models next to each other

The Fold 8 Ultra could get a sharper display, a more powerful chipset, a new camera, and a larger battery. Samsung’s purported wider foldable, the Fold 8, is expected to solve the most common problem with tall-body, narrow cover screens by adopting a new aspect ratio. The Flip 8, on the other hand, could only debut with a new chip, and not a Snapdragon one. 

The Flip 7 wasn’t a bad clamshell by any measure. However, it's been one year, and the memory crisis has already hit the smartphone market hard. In a tricky cost-to-margin situation, the Flip 8 could end up getting a price hike without any major improvements, and that might not sit well with potential buyers.

Google Contacts borrows a handy iPhone trick to make sharing your number easier
google-contacts-app

Google is rolling out a small but useful update to the Contacts app on Android that makes it much easier to find and share your own contact details. Instead of digging through settings or creating a separate contact for yourself, you'll now see a dedicated 'Your Info' card at the very top of your contacts list.

The feature gives you quick access to your phone number, email addresses, and other personal details while also adding a faster way to share them with others. The update is arriving with Google Contacts version 4.83.13.940538822 and is rolling out widely (via 9to5Google).
