Google Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: I tested both Androids, and it's pretty darn close

The Pixel Watch 4 doesn’t fix a longtime Fitbit problem, and I hate it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-02 03:30:11

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Google unveiled the new and improved Pixel Watch 4, yet one of my long-standing asks remains unanswered: true multi-device support. With AI coaching arriving in October, I’d love to see Fitbit allow more than one active device per user. When brands like Garmin and Apple handle this seamlessly, its absence is starting to feel less like an oversight and more like a conscious trade-off. If you could use a Fitbit along with the Pixel Watch, would you do that? 104

The Pixel 10 Pro is the wrong Pixel to buy this year

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-02 14:30:32

The dust has settled from the latest Made by Google event, and the Pixel 10 family is as good as ever. It builds on the hardware upgrades that Google introduced on the Pixel 9 series and packs more new AI-powered features than I could have dreamt when I first put my SIM in a Pixel device. And I, for one, cannot wait to move my SIM into yet another brand-new phone by Google — but not the one you might expect. There are reasons to go Pro… but not quite as many C.

Some Pixels are bricked and Google apparently won’t help revive them

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-02 14:36:40

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Redditor has claimed that many owners of older Pixel phones are suffering from bricked devices. The problem purportedly occurs after switching slots, flashing certain ROMs, downgrading the OS, or installing the June 2025 update. Google is apparently refusing to provide recovery bootloader images to fix the issue. Tinkering with Android phones has become an increasingly complex endeavor, as phone brands and Google step up software protections. Unfortuna

The Jonas Brothers music video isn’t the camera flex Google hoped for

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-02 16:30:22

I don’t mind the Jonas Brothers. I grew up when they starred in movies like Camp Rock and watched them make a few appearances at Penn State over the four years I was there. Honestly, their music is decent — even if I don’t make the biggest effort to seek it out. So, I was happy to go into the debut of their “I Can’t Lose” music video with an open mind, mainly since it was shot on the Pixel 10 Pro that I’m so eager to review. But now that I’ve replayed it a few times, I’m not sure the partnershi

The ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Success Story Could Be a Turning Point for Cinema

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-11-04 00:45:13

This weekend, movie history was made. For the first time ever, Netflix had the number one movie at the box office with its megahit KPop Demon Hunters. However, while every single other film distributor would’ve celebrated this fact, the streamer didn’t report the numbers. Instead, it put the version of the film in theaters immediately onto its streamer. The message was clear. This wasn’t meant to be a huge money grab or play for theatrical dominance. It was more of a thank you to the fans who st

With a triple camera setup (including a new dedicated telephoto camera), Qi2 magnetic charging, and the same Tensor G5 chip inside the Pixel 10 Pro models, is there any reason not to buy the $799 Pixel 10?

TL;DR Google is offering free yearly AI Pro and Google One subscriptions to those who pre-order the Pixel 10, and will compensate those who already pay for those services. But if you cancel your pre-order, Google will cancel your existing subscription, besides revoking those benefits. If you re-order another Pixel 10 device, you may not be eligible for these perks as they are limited to once per customer.

Google’s rollout of Bluetooth audio sharing on Pixels has been a mess

TL;DR Google’s new Pixel Buds 2a lack Bluetooth audio sharing, highlighting a confusing and inconsistent implementation of the Auracast feature across Pixel devices. The feature is mysteriously disabled on the Pixel Buds Pro 2 when paired with a Pixel phone and artificially blocked on budget A-series phones.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: I compared both Androids, and here's the winner

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-11-05 00:00:20

Joseph Maldonado and Kerry Wan/ZDNET The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has finally arrived, and it isn't taking on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a generational design leap. Instead, it competes by adding quality-of-life features -- a couple of which are industry-firsts for a foldable phone. If you are ready to upgrade from a slab phone to a foldable one, now is the best time to do so. However, it can be confusing to make a decision when both Google and Samsung book-style foldables are so good this year.

Taking a look at my old Palm IIIx – by Paul Lefebvre

We’ve been doing some cleaning and purging here at Chez Lefebvre and stumbled across a relic. While cleaning, my wife was going through a box of what she thought contained old folders and notebooks, but hidden inside an old Franklin Covey Planner (also a relic and popular in the 90s) was my original Palm IIIx! This particular planner actually had a slot inside to contain the Palm itself, which is why it got lost for so long! As I recall, I bought this Palm IIIx in September 1999 and I feel like

The new Pixels are here, and, to be frank, they’re a bit of a mixed bag in terms of upgrades. Perhaps one of the most significant changes to last year’s formula is that the Google Pixel 10 now features a third camera, bringing longer-range zoom capabilities to Google’s more affordable model and bringing it closer to the best camera phones. For the same $799 price tag as last year, the Pixel 10 has become much more appealing to the series’ photography fans. But is there still a good reason to gr
