Belkin's new Stage Power Grip targets keen iPhone photographers

 

Belkin has unveiled new accessories at CES 2025, including a grip that adds a camera button and a 10,000mAh battery to your iPhone

 

Belkin’s newly unveiled Stage Power Grip is an ergonomically designed accessory that helps you take great shots while reducing shake, Digital Trends reported. It functions as both a button to take pictures and a grip to help you stay steady. It also includes a 10,000mAh power bank that attaches to your iPhone via MagSafe.

The Stage Power Grip has a built-in stand, too, making it easier to position the camera when you want to take timed pictures or you just need a way to prop up the phone to binge YouTube videos. Belkin is likely to release the device in the spring for around $80. Read on for details of its other new accessories ...

Samsung showed me the future of OLED gaming monitors

 

The motion clarity and refresh rate on the Odyssey OLED G6 are truly something to behold

 

Digital Trends’ Jacob Roach had a chance to play around with Samsung’s new Odyssey OLED G6 at CES 2025, and he was mightily impressed. The monitor has a 27-inch display with a 1440p resolution and a staggering 500Hz refresh rate.

Jacob played PlayerUnknown’s Battleground on Samsung's new monitor. “You notice the refresh rate,” he wrote. “That’s more than I can say for most gaming monitors. The game looked incredibly smooth and plenty sharp due to the 1440p resolution. But more important than both is the fact that I felt completely in control of my character. It’s a feeling that’s hard to describe, but one that becomes abundantly clear the moment you sit down and look at the Odyssey OLED G6” ...
