Google's official X account for Japan has released a teaser image, suggesting a new device that is likely a unique colorway of the Pixel 10a.

The fix, he told me, was temporary - he didn't have the right part and couldn't get it. This experience revealed a broader shift in how modern products are designed, sold, and owned - one that increasingly treats repair as optional and replacement as inevitable.

The Supertiny is as small as your Airpods case, fitting in your palm or even your pocket. It comes in three global plug formats and packs a single USB-C port to supercharge your laptop.

Phone cases should be fun and protective, with a range of options from ultra-thin to rugged, but most users prefer something in between.

The E Ink screen on the outer panel allows users to check the time, date, battery level, and signal without waking the main display, enhancing convenience.

The Galaxy A37 shares a lot of its core specs with the A57, but is €100/$100 cheaper, which isn't insignificant.

Ken Pillonel, a freelance hardware prototyping consultant, designed a case that adds a Lightning port to the iPhone 17 Pro, allowing users to charge with existing Lightning cables.

People are buying identity as much as they are buying protection. Aulumu, the Shenzhen-based accessory brand with a growing cult following, seems to have understood this from day one. Which is exactly why the brand showed up to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra's launch with two cases that could hardly be more different from each other.

The Tecno Pova Curve 2 features a massive 8,000mAh battery that is not silicon-carbon chemistry, making it a standout in terms of battery capacity and efficiency.

Ulefone's RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro tries to close that split by putting a detachable magnetic action camera directly on the back of the phone, so both jobs start from one object. The module snaps onto the rear chassis magnetically, drawing obvious design inspiration from the Insta360 GO series, and peels off into a fully independent wearable.

The standout feature of the iQOO 15 Apex Edition is its distinctive rear panel design, which utilizes a holographic imaging-based dynamic ink wash painting.

The Ace 6 Ultra is expected to be powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 SoC, featuring a 6.8-inch screen with a 165Hz refresh rate.

Current smartphones lock you into a particular set of hardware features. To get new hardware, you have to replace the whole phone. This concept system lets you add and swap components on a day-by-day and even minute-by-minute basis depending on what you need.

When folded, it's roughly the size of the Mini, maybe even smaller depending on how thick the hinge is. When unfolded, you get a full 6.1-inch or 6.7-inch display, same as the regular iPhone or Pro Max. The people who loved the Mini weren't asking for a smaller screen, they were asking for a phone that didn't dominate their pocket or require two hands for basic tasks. A clamshell gives them that portability without forcing them to squint at a 5.4-inch display.

The Snap-n-Charge is small as power banks go, and only 3,200 mAh/16 Wh. This is good enough for a quick top-up of a smartphone or headphones. And a top-up is what you get -- the capacity is enough for about a 50% top-up for a smartphone or portable speaker, or about three or four recharges of earbuds or headphones. The power bank is housed in a polymer shell that shrugs off impacts and damage from being rattled around pockets and bags with things like keys.

Leaving the house with just a phone and a slim MagSafe wallet is convenient until the jolt of realizing you have no idea where you left that combo. Most wallets and stands solve carry and comfort, but do nothing for the "where did I put it" problem. Moft's trackable stand-wallet is a small tweak to that daily stack, adding a Find My brain without bulking up the back of your phone.
