Qi2 has been absolutely my favorite upgrade for the Pixel 10 generation, and that’s largely because it opens up a new world of accessories.

The Pixel 10 is about as good a smartphone as we’ve seen from Google yet, and you don’t have to take our word for it. Google’s seeing some unprecedented success on the back of its latest hardware launch, and while it’s a far cry from the likes of Apple and Samsung, it’s something worth getting excited about.

The Pixel 10’s Qi2 support opens a new world of accessories, but first in line should be Belkin’s clever little 3-in-1 stand that not only serves as an excellent travel charger, but also just a perfect starting point.

Almost everyone uses a smartphone case as a means of protecting their smartphone, but what if you could have a case that barely actually covers your phone?

It’s iPhone 17 review week, and word on the street is the base model is the one to buy this year. Pitting platforms against each other, Apple has a pretty distinct advantage over the Pixel 10 from the jump, with the iPhone 17 arriving with 256GB in its base $800 configuration, while Google delivers just 128GB for the same price. It’s easy enough to see this as a miscalculation on Google’s part — one it can rectify with next year’s Pixel 11 — but the Pixel 10’s status as a device “designed for AI” really feels at odds with this single decision.

In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a new design trend spreading throughout the entire smartphone industry. No, it’s not titanium — not anymore, at least — and premium flagships are still mostly arriving on store shelves in their usual drab colors. No, it’s the camera bar, a fresh method of styling the prerequisite lens bump you’ll find on every flagship smartphone, and in this case, it’s Google that can claim the credit for influencing its rivals.
