If you try thinking about the most important smartphone accessory, you’d probably first think of protective cases and power banks. In reality, a charger is probably the most critical sidekick to a mobile device, to the point that there were a lot of ruffled feathers when Apple, followed by other manufacturers, started excluding it from smartphone boxes. Admittedly, there is an overabundance of chargers out in the wild, justifying that sustainability strategy, but chargers have seemingly been ignored by designers despite their popularity.

With the emergence of charging technologies like GaN (Gallium nitride), chargers can be even more compact or, conversely, take on less conventional shapes, appearances, and even materials. Designers now have more wiggle room to craft a charger that you won’t hide away in embarrassment but even proudly display on your desk, even when you’re not charging anything.

Designer: Gazelle (Wise Integration)

Like many simple electronics, smartphone chargers are commonly boxy in shape to maximize the space inside while also making the design compact. The last thing you need is to take out a bulky charger that sharply contrasts with your thin and luxurious smartphone but even then, charger designs often look either uninspiring or too technical. Apple mastered the art of minimalist charger design, of course, but not everyone subscribes to that aesthetic.

The Gazelle TheOne offers an alternative that turns the charger into a sleek and elegant design object. Its curvy, pebble-like shape makes it look quite appealing, and the layer of color on top adds a bit of character to the design. It’s definitely larger than your average phone or laptop charger, and it might compete for space on cramped power outlets or strips, but it makes up for that by looking good while being rather visible.

TheOne charger also challenges the status quo by offering a design that’s also more sustainable, attacking the problem of e-waste from a different angle. The charger’s base is made from recycled resin, for example, and the casing makes use of recycled plastics as well. Interestingly, the packaging for the charger, in addition to being fully recyclable, can also be used as a boxy phone holder in the meantime.

Gazelle is able to pull off this unconventional charger design thanks to the use of Wise Integration’s GaN technology. That said, despite the charger’s large size, it is capped at a maximum of 65W. That’s plenty fast for a smartphone or tablet, but it will struggle to keep up with many laptops. At the end of the day, TheOne is a challenge to long-held mindsets that chargers have to be bland and downright unattractive.

Why do flash drives and portable SSDs always come in three shades of black and white? They do carry a certain professional aura to their appearance, but just like our smartphones, they don’t always reflect our personalities and inclinations. They’re also harder to find in the abyss that is our bags, not to mention underneath the shadow of our other peripherals and accessories.

There’s definitely no hard rule about flash storage design, and SanDisk is willing to break the mold and introduce designs that aren’t just functional but also enjoyable and aesthetically appealing, at least to a certain group of users. It definitely has data storage solutions for everyone from all walks of life, but gamers, particularly fans of Fortnite, might be tickled pink (or yellow, in this case) with a special portable SSD and USB flash drive made especially for them.

Designer: SanDisk

SanDisk Fortnite USB Flash Driven and Portable SSD, Peely Edition

Admittedly, there are a few data storage devices that come in other colors of the rainbow, but those are outliers rather than the norm. External hard drives, USB thumb drives, and their newer portable SSD counterparts still have the stigma of being “techy” gadgets for serious stuff only, despite their obvious use in more whimsical situations. Today’s users, however, are a more discerning bunch, and they are turning to designs that better reflect their interests rather than clinging to products made simply to cater to the masses.

Knowing that a large portion of its customers are gamers, SanDisk unveiled two designs that pay particular attention to one of the more popular titles in that industry, Epic Games’ Fortnite. Specifically, the limited “Peely Edition” portable SSDs and USB Flash Storage bear a bright Banana Yellow hue and big beady eyes that will be immediately associated by fans with one of the game’s most iconic character appearances or “skins.”

It definitely gives the storage devices more character, but that bright yellow color has another indirect benefit. It makes the devices easier to spot even in the middle of a chaotic desk or bag. Even if you’re not a Fortnite fan, this limited edition design will undoubtedly bring a smile to your face and brighten up your day, not to mention keep your files secure and always ready for transfer at a moment’s notice.

SanDisk Creator Phone SSD

Granted, you don’t need to adopt a game-like appearance to be fun. You just need to ensure that using the product is effortless and habit-forming, almost like a game. For mobile content creators always on the go, the repeated action of pulling out an SSD from your bag and plugging it into your phone can be tiresome and boring. It definitely wastes time you could be spending actually capturing content instead.

What if you didn’t need to actually take out your portable SSD from your bag in the first place? What if it’s already on your phone all the time or at least most of the time? The new SanDisk Creator Phone SSD tries to answer those questions with a MagSafe accessory that sticks to your iPhone or compatible magnetic case safely and securely, always ready to connect and record instantly to capture those fleeting moments in a flash.

The thin, rounded square device easily slips into your bag or pocket, making it effortless to get going wherever your muses take you. Available in a blue dual-tone color scheme, it also easily stands out without being showy, appealing to some creators who prefer to let their work speak for itself. The durable silicone shell and IP65 water and dust resistance also make the Creator Phone SSD resilient and reliable, able to keep up with your more adventurous pursuits.

PC gaming used to mean being glued to your chair and desk at home, but times have quickly changed for the past years. In addition to gaming laptops that are becoming more powerful while retaining their portable designs, we’re now also seeing a flood of handheld gaming PCs that truly make that dream of portable gaming come true for many PC gamers. And we’re just seeing the start of this PC gaming revolution, with more designs and variety to come!

At CES 2025, Acer is giving an appetizer of those innovations which include an 11-inch handheld with detachable controllers, a foldable phone controller, and a new line of gaming laptops to cater to a diverse range of gamers, needs, and budgets. Of course, with that much power and AI-enhanced features, these mobile computers are also ready to empower designers, artists, and creators to bring their work to life on the go.

Designer: Acer

Acer Nitro Blaze 8 and 11 Handheld Gaming Devices

With an AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS, 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and Radeon 780M graphics, the new Nitro Blaze handhelds are capable of handling many demanding games and applications without tying gamers down to a single spot. The fast 144Hz WQXGA displays, paired with Radeon Super Resolution and AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution technologies, deliver crisp graphics and vibrant visuals even with a lower resolution setting. Peripherals are also no problem with two USB Type-C ports (4 and 3.2) as well as Bluetooth 5.3. The 8-inch Nitro Blaze 8 and 11-inch Blaze 11 deliver everything a PC gamer can want to enjoy their favorite titles on the go and more!

The Acer Nitro Blaze 11 is particularly interesting because of its extra-large screen, which is almost a mini laptop in size. With detachable controllers, it practically becomes a tablet that can do more than just play games. It even has a 5MP front camera for video streaming and video calls. It’s practically a mobile all-in-one computer that lets you bring your entertainment and work with you anywhere you go. The Acer Nitro Blaze 8 and Nitro Blaze 11 will land in North America in Q2 with an SRP of $899 and $1,099, respectively.

Acer Nitro V AI Gaming Laptops

Acer’s Nitro family of laptops has always been a popular choice for users who need an all-around portable PC that’s capable not only of gaming but serious work as well. With the new Nitro V line, Acer is expanding its roster with laptops that have AI built in their very core. Powered by Intel Core 200H series or AMD Ryzen AI processors and coming with display sizes ranging from 14 to 17 inches, these laptops cover a variety of combinations to address the needs of an equally varied audience.

Of course, all members of the Nitro V series boast AI chops that not only improve the gaming experience but also accelerate productivity. Whether it’s using Cocreater in MS Paint for prompt-based image creations or PurifiedView and PurifiedVoice for professional video meetings, the Acer Nitro V gaming laptops promise to handle any task you throw at them with aplomb.

Acer Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller

Mobile gaming traditionally referred to gaming on smartphones but now encompasses handheld PCs as well. Of course, Acer hasn’t forgotten the OG of on-the-go gamers and is launching a controller made especially for smartphones and designed with a unique twist. Or rather, a unique fold.

The Nitro Mobile Controller features a foldable design that makes it easy to put away and shove into your bag when you’re done with a quick round of Fortnite or Mobile Legends. Its adjustable design can also accommodate screen sizes of up to 8.3 inches, which covers most foldable phones as well. The USB-C port provides a reliable connection and 18W pass-through fast charging promises worry-free extended gameplay. The Acer Nitro Mobile Controller goes on sale this quarter for $69.99.

Even with the ubiquity of touch screens, most of use still use keyboards and mice as the primary way to interact with computers, both desktops and even laptops. As common as these devices might be, they weren’t initially designed decades ago with ergonomics in mind. Of course, we now have ergonomic keyboards and ergonomic mice, but that only solves half of the problem.

The other half is that our hands keep dancing back and forth between the keyboard, mouse, and sometimes a separate numeric keypad, which also causes strain. In an effort to solve this lingering issue, this “automatic keyboard and mouse” machine tries to keep your hands in the same position as much as possible by sliding in and out to switch between keyboards, numpad, and mouse, with some help from AI, of course.

Designer: AutoKeybo

Imagine having a desk where, instead of your hand flying sideways between the keyboard and your mouse, those peripherals move on their own and slide under your hands when you need them. And imagine having that happen automatically, without having to manually press a button that will break your flow. Autonomous keyboards and mice are, of course, still in the realm of science fiction, but apparently, we already have the next best thing: an AI-powered tray.

AutoKeybo is hard to describe in words, but once you see it in action, it immediately makes sense while also looking astonishingly odd. At first glance, you see what looks like a giant contraption with a split ergonomic keyboard at the top and a large box for your wrist rest. Once you start typing, however, you will see the magic of a device that will hopefully save your hands, wrists, and shoulders from serious and permanent injury.

The device has a total of four trays in pairs, one stacked on top of the other. The bottom trays house a mouse and a numeric keypad while the top pair holds two halves of the split keyboard. The top trays slide in to give you access to the mouse and numpad below so you won’t have to move your hands away just to reach them. They then slide back out to let you return to your typing without missing a beat. They can even move independently of each other, so you can slide only one tray to access the mouse or numpad quickly without losing access to some of the letters.

All of these happen automatically, or at least without pushing a button. Using AI and a built-in camera, AutoKeybo can detect hand gestures, in this case, splaying out your fingers, to trigger the switching mechanism. To make this possible, this device has a built-in Linux computer that you can actually use as a standalone computer, complete with an HDMI port and USB-C ports. It’s definitely an intriguing design, though it still remains to be seen whether the theory actually holds well in practice.

The iPhone has long been a favorite among content creators, thanks to its cutting-edge camera technology and the ability to capture cinematic-quality videos. This makes it a powerful tool for photographers and videographers who seek both convenience and high performance in their mobile devices. Recognizing this potential, Belkin is stepping in to enhance the iPhone’s capabilities with a new accessory that promises to transform the device into an analog-style shooter. This innovative gadget features an ergonomic grip and a dedicated shutter button, providing users with a tactile photography experience reminiscent of traditional cameras.

The new accessory, aptly named the Stage PowerGrip, is tailored for Apple enthusiasts who appreciate both style and functionality. It features a certified MagSafe-compatible magnetic clip-on mechanism that ensures a snug and secure fit on the iPhone. This design innovation allows users to attach and detach the accessory with ease, providing flexibility in various shooting scenarios. The Stage PowerGrip is specifically crafted for the iPhone 16 setup, integrating seamlessly with the latest Camera Control button introduced with this year’s Apple smartphone.

Designer: Belkin

Belkin introduced this exciting accessory at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where it showcased a range of other intriguing products. These include the BoostCharge Compact USB-C Charger, designed for fast and efficient charging on the go; the BoostCharge Power Bank, which offers extended battery life for multiple devices; the Soundform Isolate over-ear headphones, providing immersive audio quality; and the Soundform Anywhere earbuds, which deliver convenience and superior sound for users on the move.

In terms of aesthetics, the Stage PowerGrip is set to arrive in May and will be available in a palette of vibrant colors, including powder blue, sandbox, fresh yellow, pepper, and lavender. These options cater to diverse tastes, allowing users to personalize their devices while maintaining a sleek and modern appearance. Although the exact pricing has yet to be announced, Belkin has hinted at keeping the cost below $80, making it an affordable enhancement for iPhone users.

Functionality is at the core of the Stage PowerGrip’s design. The Bluetooth-enabled accessory emulates the classic feel of a point-and-shoot camera, complete with a shutter button positioned on top for easy access. A small integrated screen offers users the ability to explore various shooting options, enhancing the overall photography experience. Additionally, the Stage PowerGrip doubles as a 10,000 mAh wireless power bank, equipped with a 7.5W magnetic charging option. This feature ensures that the iPhone Pro Max remains charged throughout the day, catering to the demands of active users who rely heavily on their devices.

For those who prefer traditional charging methods, the Stage PowerGrip includes a USB-C cable, providing an alternative to wireless charging. Furthermore, the accessory functions as a sturdy stand, keeping the iPhone in landscape orientation. This is particularly useful for shooting timed photos or for binge-watching content, as it offers stability and convenience.

The Stage PowerGrip is a versatile accessory that proves invaluable for anyone who enjoys mobile photography or videography. Its ergonomic design not only enhances the shooting experience by reducing camera shake but also provides superior handling for creative endeavors. The added benefit of a built-in power bank means users can forego carrying a separate charging device, streamlining their equipment and making it a practical choice for on-the-go creators.

In an age where mobile is ruling content consumption, Belkin’s Stage PowerGrip is set to become an essential tool for iPhone users seeking to elevate their content creation capabilities. By combining traditional camera features with modern technology, it offers a unique and enhanced user experience. Whether you’re a professional photographer or an enthusiastic amateur, this accessory is designed to meet your needs, offering both style and substance in a compact, user-friendly package.

Let’s face the fact that you can’t part from your phone unless you are a disciplined minimalist. While most phone users register around three to six hours of average screen time every day, avoiding mindless scrolling on your phone has become a rarity in modern times. While some employ the majority of this screen time for productive tasks, most of us out there are stuck in the vicious loop of going back and forth to social networking apps.

Anyway, all that screen time sucks your battery, and that makes carrying a charging cable something of a ritual. At times you tend to forget to keep the charging cable handy in your backpack, only to be left high and dry after all that phone usage. Now that can be scary when the battery is running out and you are expecting an important call from your client.

Designer:  Jinkyo Han

This cool concept wants to eliminate every chance of you forgetting the essential charging cable because now you don’t have to remember to carry one. Yes, the concept proposes a dual utility smartphone case with a lanyard that has a USB-C charging cable attached to it. The smart idea seems easy to implement for a phone accessory maker, and will surely have many takers. I know more than a couple of my colleagues who will fancy buying one as they are into the habit of forgetting their charging cables. Just that the cable doesn’t fly around hanging from the case, there is a small enclosure to plug in both ends for aesthetics and functional easiness.

The functionality extends beyond just protecting your device, or juicing up your smartphone though. It can be used as a secure accessory to hold your big smartphone while taking pictures, making videos, or even going to the extent of shooting action shots without the fear of your expensive phone falling off. If you frequently travel to places that are notorious for phone thefts, having this dual utility accessory makes complete sense. Jinkyo imagines the unisex smartphone case with a charging cable in cool color options like military green, baby pink, or papaya orange for every kind of user.

4. SmartAir Minion Routers

Last year at CES 2024, these adorable SmartAir Minion Routers completely captured our attention with their unique design.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that these adorable figures are fully functional WiFi routers.

What we like

• The camera features built-in illumination that users can customize to their preferred brightness levels.

There’s a certain irony in how we treat our gadgets. We spend hours agonizing over which phone to buy, which laptop to upgrade to, or which smartwatch will best track our lives—only to neglect the tools that connect them all. Accessories, often relegated to afterthoughts, are the unsung heroes of tech. When was the last time you REALLY craved a phone case, or a charger, or a dongle? You don’t, because accessories don’t get the love they truly deserve. They organize our chaos, protect our investments, and, when done right, make our devices even better. However, they don’t garner that excitement that a new phone does – a part of that is because they’re not as well-designed as our primary tech devices.

Instead of following the playbook of “functional but forgettable,” Aulumu crafts accessories that feel essential. Think Teenage Engineering, think 8BitDo, think Nothing – they all built tech with a strong focus on great design – something that Aulumu does pretty well too. From multi-device charging stations to cases that elevate your gear’s look and feel, Aulumu isn’t here to fill your cable/dongle drawer—they’re here to refine your digital ecosystem. Let’s dive into three standout offerings and see how they make the mundane remarkable.

AirPods cases are practical but rarely stylish. The A09 Geometric Case flips that script with its edgy, polyhedron-inspired design.
