Thanks to the advent of smart wallets, you can enjoy features such as RFID blocking, device tracking, and modern design. Below are a few of our favorite smart wallets to date.
If you’re looking for a gorgeous wallet that can hold just about everything, look no further. Bellroy’s Travel Wallet offers plenty of space for credit cards, cash, and your passport. There’s even a travel sized pen for completing declarations forms.
In addition to sporting lots of space, the Bellroy Travel Wallet also has RFID protection built in. With RFID protection, you don’t need to worry about unsavory individuals skimming your credit card or passport information.
What makes the Bellroy’s products so unique, however, is the company’s commitment to sustainability. Bellroy responsibly tans its leather under gold-rated Leather Working Group environment protocols and carefully chooses sustainably produced textiles for linings in its products.
Here to ensure that you have a wallet that is not only slim but also secure is Ekster, the smart wallet brand that partnered with Tile to launch a solar-charged, RFID-blocking smart wallet. You won’t have to dig around to access your credit card or ID — simply click a button to pop out your desired piece of plastic. And since many credit and debit cards have RFID and NFC technology embedded inside, the Ekster can block anyone trying to access them. RFID hacking isn’t as commonplace as you may think, but this protection can certainly provide some peace of mind.

What's happened? This week, China's Quality Certification Center released information about a battery (EB-BS04898ABY) with a maximum capacity of 4,855mAh. That's the same capacity as was previously seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and fans have taken this certification to mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see a capacity increase after all.
The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models have had the same battery capacity for the last five years.
What's happened? Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, a budget-friendly alternative to the Galaxy Tab S10. The device has been rumored for months, but this is the first time Samsung has officially acknowledged its existence.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will have a 10.9-inch display and a peak brightness of 600 nits — a bit on the lower side, versus the iPad Pro's maximum brightness of 1,600 nits.
