Techniques are described for dynamically changing a power draw from a power source of a portable device based on an audio output of the portable device. In an example, the portable device determines that an audio signal to be output by the portable device is associated with an audio mode. The portable device sets a voltage of a power converter of the portable device to a voltage level based at least in part on the audio mode. An amount of power is supplied from a power source of the portable device to the power converter based at least in part on the voltage level. In addition, the portable device outputs the audio signal based at least in part on the amount of power.

Configurable power delivery for portable devices

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for ring-shaped devices with combined Bluetooth and NFC antenna assemblies. In one embodiment, an example device may include an inner shell, an outer shell coupled to the inner shell, where the outer shell and inner shell together form a first side portion, a second side portion, and a lower portion of the ring-shaped device, a battery, and an antenna assembly that forms an upper portion of the ring-shaped device. The antenna assembly may include a metal substrate, a ferrite layer disposed on the metal substrate, and a metallic loop structure disposed on the ferrite layer.
