Charge your earbuds or watch from your phone
Wireless PowerShare, step by step on Samsung and Pixel phones.
Why it helps
The back of your phone can work as a wireless charger, so flat earbuds or a watch can get a top-up anywhere.
What you'll notice
Lay your earbuds case or watch on the middle of the phone's back and it starts charging.
When to use it
When your earbuds or watch run flat away from home, then turn on PowerShare and lay them on the back of your phone.
