The Pixel 10A is a little too much like last year’s phone

It’s a minimal update. Google didn’t bring many Pixel 10 features down to the Pixel 10A this year. Buy the berry color.

3500 vs 650 ANSI Lumens.

If you’ve even wondered how important that lumen measurement is on projectors…

Here’s the monstrous Nebula X1 Pro next to the little Nebula P1. I’ve got both portable projectors with detachable speakers in for testing, but only one is viewable in ambient mid-day light.

Belkin’s new Switch 2 charging case earns its $100 price.

Belkin’s $100 Charging Case Pro for the Switch 2 looks similar to the $70 version; it’s a thick zip-up case with a 10,000mAh battery, plus pockets for cartridges and an AirTag. But the battery here, cleverly redesigned as a folding stand that magnetically snaps into the case, makes it feel worth the higher cost.

If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

<em>The built-in battery/stand offers just as much versatility as the Switch 2’s kickstand.</em>
<em>A top-down view of how the Switch 2 looks in the Charging Case Pro. To tilt the console’s screen towards you, just fit a finger into the gap near the top to pull the stand’s bracket.</em>
The section that connects to the Switch 2 articulates, letting you adjust the viewing angle as you please. And, no, the outer USB-C charging port doesn’t support video-out. I tried!
