Some of my favorite gear

This rapidly tops off my iPhone 16 and adds extra power to my desk.

If you’re looking for a more full-featured Android experience, have a look at Amazon’s Fire 7 Tablet for $40. It works with Alexa and offers 8-hour battery life. If you run out of the included 8GB of storage, you can always grab a microSD card to expand the storage up to an additional 256GB.
