If you’re on the fence about whether to snatch up a $450 Nintendo Switch 2, or if you’re still hemming and hawing about that upcoming Xbox handheld made by Asus, there’s one more device that looks set to make your wallet scream bloody murder. We haven’t seen hide nor hair of Lenovo’s Legion Go 2 for about six months now, but leaks suggest it could be the sequel handheld you were actually looking for, thanks to a major screen upgrade that neither Nintendo nor Xbox is offering for its current-gen
The biggest original film to arrive on Netflix this July is undoubtedly Happy Gilmore 2. The Adam Sandler sequel has been 30 years in the making and marks the return of one of his most iconic characters, Happy Gilmore, a Boston Bruins-obsessed hockey fan who turns his mean slapshot into a professional golf career. Happy Gilmore 2 is set to premiere on Netflix on July 25, and features most of the original film's cast; Sandler is joined by Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, Dennis Dugan and Ben S
Dozens of xAI employees expressed concerns—and many objected—when asked to record videos of their facial expressions to help "give Grok a face," Business Insider reported. BI reviewed internal documents and Slack messages, finding that the so-called project "Skippy" was designed to help Grok learn what a face is and "interpret human emotions." It's unclear from these documents if workers' facial data helped train controversial avatars that xAI released last week, including Ani—an anime compani
Even more attention is being given to food labels than usual. With people becoming increasingly conscious about their health, more ingredients are being scrutinized, especially additives. Xanthan gum is one such additive found in many foods, from salad dressings to gluten-free baked goods. It's even found in personal care, industrial and pharmaceutical products. Research suggests that xanthan gum can lead to several health benefits, such as relieving constipation, lowering blood glucose levels

AI companies are pushing agents as the next Great Workplace Disruptor, but experts say they’re still not ready for prime time. AI agents often struggle to make decisions by themselves, hallucinate frequently, can’t cooperate with other agents, fail at confidentiality awareness, and integrate poorly with existing systems. Industry pioneers like Andrej Karpathy and Ali Ghodsi have said that, like the deployment of autonomous vehicles, humans need to be in the loop in order for agents to succeed.
Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (2024) is receiving the One UI 8 update with Wear OS 6 earlier than expected. The rollout has started for T-Mobile, AT&T, and Google Fi models in the US, as well as in some overseas markets. New features include better notifications, new gestures, improved health tracking, and more personalization options. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and Watch Ultra (2025) are the first smartwatches to get Wear OS 6 upda
With less than a month to go before Google’s big Pixel 10 event, the time for new Google phones is almost upon us. And with four new models expected, it’ll soon be time to choose which new Pixel is right for you. The Pixel 10 Pro is shaping up to be a solid compact flagship, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL should be an excellent choice for folks who want a bigger handset. And if it’s a foldable you’re after, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a lot going for it, too. But after the latest Pixel 10 leak, I’m sta
While I wasn’t expecting a major design shakeup, Google revealed the design of its new Pixel phone, almost a month before the official launch event. You can take a look for yourself on the front page of the Google Store. A short video teaser reveals one of the upcoming Pixel 10 smartphones. The device bears a similar appearance to the Pixel 9, with a back design that makes the camera unit protrude from the frame, similar to the Pixel 9 Pro. Oh, and an additional camera — if this is the base Pix
Hypershack Hypershack is a standalone, private space designed for tinkering and learning with 4D objects in Virtual Reality. There are some elements designed to help get oriented in the 4d world: there are small particles falling down, i.e. moving towards negative y-axis. The speed they are falling depends on the orientation of the observed 3d space in the 4d world, the closer the 3d space is aligned with y-axis, the faster the particles fall. If you rotate the 3d space to be perpendicular to

If your family and friends are on Apple services like iMessage and FaceTime, stick with an iPhone. If you’ve been deep on Samsung, stay on Android. Know that switching between the two has never been easier. Phone makers promise varying lengths of long-term software and security support ranging from just one year to as many as seven. These updates not only ensure you get many of the latest features but also keep your phone secure. Phone cameras have gotten better over the past five years. Don’t
A team of astronomers have discovered a curious figure in the universe. It is two distant galaxies colliding with each other to form a larger structure. From Earth’s perspective, the junction of the disks resembles the number eight lying down, similar to the infinity symbol (∞). Because of this resemblance, the researchers—who are based at the universities of Yale and Copenhagen—have nicknamed it the “Infinity Galaxy” and have detailed their discovery in a paper published in the Astrophysical J
Google TL;DR Google has scheduled its next Made by Google hardware event for August 20. The company is expected to introduce the Pixel 10 series, Pixel Watch 4, and maybe even some new Pixel Buds. With one month to go until showtime, the Google Store has started promoting the upcoming Pixel 10. We’re just one month away from August 20, when Google intends to introduce its latest hardware lineup at the company’s Made by Google event. That’s looking like it’s going to involve a nice assortment
Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an impressive book-style foldable that tackles many of the long-standing quibbles plaguing the Fold series for years. I spent a weekend with the device, and was floored by how much its reduced weight and thickness made it feel like a standard candy bar phone when folded. The cover screen is wider and more usable, the interior display is larger at eight inches, and the new 200MP camera sensor means imagery isn't a big sacrifice this time around.

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has announced that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 display can withstand 500,000 folds, double that of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. That means the Galaxy Z Fold 7 can endure over 10 years of daily use, assuming about 100 folds a day. The fold rating for the Fold 7’s display comes from a test conducted by Bureau Veritas, a global testing and certification company Samsung Display has finally revealed what we’ve wanted to know for many days — how many folds can the
Android Headlines Google’s new Pixel 10 lineup is coming next month, and as usual, leaks are pouring in from all corners. The latest one gives us a sneak peek at four rumored colorways for the standard Pixel 10: Obsidian, Indigo, Frost, and Limoncello. Honestly, we’re pretty excited about that palette.

HBO Max hosts a variety of frightening flicks, from classics like The Silence of the Lambs to newer offerings like the period horror film Sinners. The options change often, so if you aren't feeling HBO Max's current spooky selection, it's worth swinging back by later. HBO Max recently reinstated the HBO portion of its name and starts at $10 per month or $100 per year. You can also get the streaming service free with a Doordash DashPass annual plan.

It's hard to express just how good this game is. Sandfall Interactive's Claire Obscur: Expedition 33 feels as impactful and genre-defining as ground-breaking Japanese-style roleplaying games before it, like Final Fantasy. It mixes classic turn-based combat with real-time action gameplay, giving the combat a new yet familiar feel. The story pulls you in right from the start with its melancholy tone and gorgeous French setting, and the cast of characters will no doubt be forever etched into video

Google The next Made by Google event isn't until next month, but Google has spilled the beans early by officially unveiling the Pixel 10. The Google Store has been updated with a new header video showing off the upcoming smartphone. The short clip only displays the device from a single angle, but still manages to reveal quite a lot. Also: The best Google Pixel phones to buy in 2025 The Pixel 10 bears a striking resemblance to the Pixel 9, sporting the same isolated camera island on the back.
There are a lot of ways to deal with gadget leaks. If you’re Apple, maybe a lawsuit is your style, but not everyone is as litigious, and that’s okay. Take Google, for example, which responded to Pixel 10 leaks by… just showing us the whole-ass phone. Here’s Google’s next mobile device in all of its glory, folks: Pixel 10 series sign up page is live on the Pixel Store now. pic.twitter.com/wE1UIbABXj — Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) July 21, 2025 The official image, which is live on Google’s own
Google has lifted the curtains on the Pixel 10, its flagship phone for 2025, via a short clip posted on the Google Store homepage on Monday. The Pixel 10 will likely be fully revealed at a Made by Google event in New York on Aug. 20. The teaser video simply shows the back of the device with the Pixel's prominent oval-shaped camera bar, along with a flash and sensor of some sort. It follows a similar design to past Pixels, but whereas the Pixels 6, 7 and 8 all had camera bars that ran edge-to-ed
David Imel / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s been dealing with the fallout of bad batteries on the Pixel 4a and Pixel 6a. So far, that’s involved updates that limit charging capacity after a certain number of cycles. While there was a trick to avoid that update on the Pixel 4a, Google seems to have closed the loophole. This year, Google has found itself forced to confront and deal with an awkward problem that’s been casting a shadow across its otherwise largely well-received Pixel smartphon
As is tradition, Google has already shown off at least one of its new Pixel phones before it's announced. The front page of the Google Store currently features a short video teasing one of the Pixel 10 smartphones the company is announcing on August 20. If you take the webpage literally, then Google's video is showing off the base Pixel 10, which has a similar look to the Pixel 9, with some key differences. Those include a new grayish-blue finish, a tweaked back design that makes the back of th
