Power banks serve a very simple yet handy purpose. Charge your accessories or phones in a pinch, while on the go. But every now and then, a model comes in with a little more style of functionality–like built-in cables or magnetic/wireless charging. Some can even charge up bigger gadgets like laptops.

But Belkin is doing something a bit different. The Belkin BoostCharge Pro Power Bank 10K with Motion Sensing Light has launched in China for 329 yuan, or approximately $49. Alongside its 10,000mAh battery and 45W USB-C charging, it carries a pop-up LED lamp that can illuminate a hotel room, bedside table, or dark hallway when it detects movement. 

Dead phone or dark room, Belkin has you covered 

The circular light folds into the back of the power bank when unused. Touch controls let users adjust its brightness and switch between lighting modes, while the integrated motion sensor can activate it without fumbling for controls in the dark. This makes it convenient and intuitive.

It can serve as a bedside night light, a small fill light during video calls or photography, and an emergency beacon through its flashing SOS mode. So the power bank is more versatile than your typical portable charging peripheral. A small digital screen displays the remaining battery percentage and houses the light controls. The power bank is available in orange and blue, measures 118 x 60 x 32mm, and weighs 257 grams. It is also certified for air travel. 

The charging hardware remains competitive

The BoostCharge Pro includes a braided USB-C cable that folds neatly into its side, accompanied by a second USB-C port. Either connection can deliver up to 45W and supports USB Power Delivery and PPS. Connecting two devices divides that output into 30W and 15W channels. 

Its 45W ceiling matches the Anker Nano Power Bank 10K, another compact model with an integrated cable and digital display. Belkin’s motion-sensing lamp gives it a more unusual reason to earn space in a travel bag or on a bedside table.

The iPhone X is obsolete now, and so is that aging MacBook Pro
Relax! only the 2018 MacBook Pro is obsolete
iPhone X

The iPhone X and 15-inch 2018 MacBook Pro have officially joined Apple's obsolete products list, marking the end of official hardware service for two devices that once represented the company's future.

Apple updated its support listings to move both products from its vintage category to the obsolete category. That distinction matters because once a device becomes obsolete, Apple discontinues hardware service for it, while authorized service providers can no longer order parts through Apple.

The Pixel 11 Pro is an absolute stealth banger, and its camera finally wants me to experiment
I tried the Pixel 11 Pros, and one tiny light left me wanting more
Google Pixel 11 Pro Matte Obsidian Rear

Google already made some pretty phones, and the new Pixel 11 Pro series just got even better-looking. Recent Pixel Pro models have been among the most premium Android phones I've spent time with, and a few minutes with the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL told me Google is refining the formula even further.

The Pixel 11 was a surprisingly compelling base flagship, and the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL continue the strong first impressions. The phones are lighter, the camera visor is slimmer, the screens are brighter, and the smaller Pro finally gets faster Pixelsnap charging. Google also throws in HiLight and a refreshing new way to experience its camera software.

Two expensive foldables, two very different takes on what your phone should actually do.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Even though both Google and Samsung agree that a book-style foldable can replace your tablet while still retaining the best characteristics of a conventional flagship smartphone, they've built two very different machines to prove it. 

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold leans on Google's software intelligence and a genuinely rare durability rating, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra leans on raw silicon, a 200MP camera, and Samsung's most mature multitasking software yet. So, which one is better for you? Let’s figure it out in this detailed comparison between the two.
