Survey shows 9 out of 10 people demand this camera feature on base Pixel 10

Google One of the most intriguing and persistent Google Pixel 10 series rumors is that the base Pixel 10 could finally get a telephoto camera. This should theoretically enable much-improved camera zoom without splashing out on a Pro phone. I personally welcome this news, but do readers feel the same? We ran polls on the website, our Twitter page, and our YouTube channel. The results are finally in, and here’s how you voted. Do you want the Pixel 10 to have a zoom camera?  The results were c

The Fujifilm X-E5 proves familiar isn’t always a bad thing

is a supervising video producer who also reviews gadgets and photography gear. He has over a decade of experience as a reporter and photojournalist, previously at Recode. The X-E5 is Fujifilm’s tiny powerhouse. It’s part of a line of cameras that has often been described as similar to the X100, except with an interchangeable lens. But the X-E line has evolved this year and is taking on a new shape. It used to be seen as a budget option, but at $1,699, that can no longer be said. Despite the fa

Here’s the real problem with Nothing’s quirky Phone 3 design

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I love Nothing’s semi-transparent design language. Its debut Phone 1 was the first Android phone in a long time that I can remember being just as happy to look at as I was to use (if only because it didn’t work in the US). Then, I watched Nothing refine its style over a few generations of mid-range and budget phones, reworking its Glyph interface and camera placement until it found a combination so cute that Wall-E might fall in love with it. Now, though, I thin

Rumor: iPhone 17 Pro could have three unexpected camera upgrades

We’re probably about six weeks away from Apple announcing the iPhone 17 Pro. Much of what we expect to see has been leaked for months, but a new rumor has surfaced about some unexpected camera upgrades. According to Joe Rossignol at MacRumors, the site received an anonymous tip sharing unverified information based on an ad being produced for the upcoming flagship iPhone: The tipster claimed to be familiar with an iPhone 17 Pro commercial that is allegedly being produced by Slovenian company Di

I'm Impressed by This $550 Phone's Camera and Screen, but the Trade-Offs Are Important

CNET's key takeaways The Motorola Edge goes for $550, which is one of the lowest prices out there for a phone with such a bright screen and an impressive 3x telephoto camera The Edge's light weight and curved screen make it very pocketable It comes with only two years of software support and three years of security updates, which is very low for a phone that's over $500 When I tested the $550 Motorola Edge, I was surprised that it includes a telephoto camera at that price, and that it's

Best Home Security Cameras for Apple HomeKit and Siri in 2025

Today’s home security cameras come packed with features, not to mention testing out compatibility with the Apple Home app. We test in several different ways in our homes and CNET offices to really check out everything these cameras can down. Set up and camera quality As we set up cameras, we pay close attention to their design and how fragile or durable it is, as well as what features they have -- for example, how easy it is to change batteries or insert a microSD card. And, of course, we spen

OnePlus Nord 5 review: selfie-centric midranger

The OnePlus Nord 5 does exactly what the company’s Nord phones have always done: deliver strong specs at a relatively low price. It’s one of the more powerful phones at this price point and should easily outstrip Samsung and Google’s more expensive alternatives. This is a function-over-form phone, one where the key selling points are a powerful processor and long battery life, which are the boring mainstays that tend to matter the most in midrange models like this. The problem for the Nord 5 is

My Pixel 9 Pro is removing all color and warmth from my photos, and I’m sick of it

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority I have long been a proponent of the Pixel camera. From my Pixel 2 XL to the 4 XL, 5, 6 Pro, 7 Pro, 8 Pro, and 9 Pro XL, I’ve used a Pixel as my personal phone and my primary camera since 2017, taking over 10,000 photos in the process. For years, my Pixel phone’s camera was near flawless, at least compared to everything else on the market. It took clear, accurate, and well-detailed photos in every situation. Darkness or light, in movement or steady, up-close or

How to buy the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Watch 8 series

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 features several notable upgrades over its predecessor. For starters, at 8.9mm, it's almost as thin as the S25 Ultra's 8.2mm and 26 percent thinner than the Fold 6. It also has some updates to its image quality, including a jump from a 50MP to a 200MP main camera. It also offers a 10MP 3X optical zoom camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera and a 10MP cover screen selfie camera. Plus, the screen is a smidge bigger at 8 inches, up from 7.6 inches. The Fold 7 also features mult

I Want Apple to Steal These Android Camera Features for the iPhone 17

The iPhone 16 Pro already has a great camera system capable of taking photos so good you'd think they were taken on pro-level mirrorless cameras. I love the quality of all three rear lenses, and while I like recent features, such as the Photographic Styles and Apple's ProRaw image format, I think there's more the company can do to help photographers take their best ever photos. I've spent 14 years reviewing iPhones and Android phones from all brands for CNET, and as a professional photographer

Samsung could finally tackle shutter lag with this Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A long-time leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will retain the same 200MP main camera as its predecessors. This main camera sensor will apparently be accompanied by a wider aperture. This latest leak comes after a wild rumor that the S26 Ultra would offer a larger 200MP sensor. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has been on the market for just over six months, but we’ve already encountered a ton of Galaxy S26 Ultra leaks. We previously heard that the new pho

Wyze's New Lamp Socket Can Smarten Up Your Outdoor Lighting. Here's How It Works

Looking for a way to smarten up your outdoor lighting? The Wyze Lamp Socket v2 is now available and it has some upgrades over its predecessor. Wyze released the first version of the lamp socket in 2021 but a lot has changed since then and the socket may no longer be compatible with all of your upgraded smart home tech. Wyze has made a few changes that may be welcome upgrades, such as higher bulb wattage and improved quality. So what's new with the Wyze Lamp Socket v2? Here's what we found and

The once most-overlooked Fujifilm camera might become my favorite

Right now, there are five Fujifilm cameras that are using the exact same 40MP sensor. So picking the right one for you can be confusing, but fret not. Most Fuji cameras offer similar results, and your choice might come down to just the form factor. The good news is that Fujifilm’s latest camera, the X-E5 , is packed with top features in a form factor that has won me over. This year, the X-E5 grew in size and price. The $1,700 camera is slightly larger and heavier than the X-E4, borrowed a new l

I finally found a thermal camera that works on iPhone and Android

ZDNET's key takeaways The Topdon TC992C Duo Thermal Camera is available now for $269 on Amazon. It's an accurate and reliable thermal camera for iPhone, Android, and Windows. It's a bit more expensive than some of the other thermal imaging cameras. View now at Amazon I'm a big fan of having a thermal camera (or two) as part of my repair kit. I use them for all sorts of applications, from detecting faulty components on circuit boards to figuring out where that pesky draught is coming from in w

The S25 Ultra is more expensive to make than the S24 Ultra, and it’s thanks to this part

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A new report reveals that the Galaxy S25 Ultra costs a little more to make than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Samsung reportedly spent an estimated 21% more on the phone’s processor. The report also found that camera, casing, and RF costs were lower than last year’s phone. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra launched way back in January, and it maintains the same $1,299 price tag as last year’s phone. However, a report suggests that the latest Ultra phone costs more to

This is my favorite camera phone of the year, and I wish I could tell you to buy it, but I can’t

Odd camera designs are all the rage right now, and the latest HUAWEI flagship is jumping right into this trend. The Pura 80 Ultra is the Chinese company’s latest effort, and once again, it doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the photographic experience… but it comes with a familiar set of caveats for anyone keeping up with HUAWEI’s situation. I recently took the phone on a trip to Dubai and took a whole bunch of samples to test it out, and I think it’s my favorite camera phone of 2025. Because

I May Upgrade to the iPhone 17 Pro Max If These 6 Rumors Are True

From the first plus-sized iPhone Pro Max models, I've stuck with the regular configuration because the size and weight suited me better. But for many of those years I couldn't help but look over at my friends enjoying their larger screens and sometimes exclusive camera features like optical stabilization or the 5x telephoto camera. So as we get quickly closer to September when new iPhone 17 models are expected, several leaks about the iPhone 17 Pro Max have caught my attention and made me recons

Nintendo's Mario Party Upgrades for Switch 2 Feel Like Unnecessary Gimmicks

Maybe, some day, Nintendo will make games that are just focused on using the new camera and mouse-control features on the Switch 2. In the meantime, there's the update to Super Mario Party Jamboree that hits this week. Nintendo's already delivered a killer one-two punch with Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza for Switch 2 but the upgrade for Jamboree, while charming at times, doesn't exactly live up to expectations. The $20 upgrade, with the unwieldy title Super Mario Party Jamboree Swit

The Pixel 10 is proof that the iPhone camera strategy isn’t working for Google

Google will launch the Pixel 10 series phones on August 20, and we’re excited about the standard Pixel 10. Leaked renders show that the base phone could offer a triple rear camera system for the first time, as a telephoto camera joins the main and ultrawide shooters. This is a major strategic shift for the standard Pixel flagship phone. However, this also signals Google’s acceptance that it’s no longer copying Apple’s strategy for base flagship phones. An overdue move for standard Pixel phones

iPhone 17 Rumors: Everything to Know, From a Slim 'Air' Model to Fresh Colors

The anticipated reveal of Apple's newest iPhone is just around the corner. For months now, rumors have been swirling about what the upcoming device, likely called the iPhone 17, could look like, from a redesigned camera module to fresh colors to a slimmer "Air" version of the handset. The phones are expected to debut in early September. Perhaps the biggest looming question is whether iPhones could get pricier, especially with tariffs. President Donald Trump has said Apple will have to pay a 25%

The Galaxy Z Flip 7’s new cover screen camera tricks will elevate your selfie game

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR The Galaxy Z Flip 7’s larger cover screen greatly improves the camera experience, allowing for much better selfies without unfolding the phone. A revamped camera UI offers more on-screen controls optimized for one-handed use, an enhancement that is also coming to older Z Flip models. Other new features like cover screen effects and FlipShot add visual indicators and customization options to the cover screen while taking photos. People often buy clamsh

Nest Aware is getting pricier, but users says the service isn’t keeping up

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR Nest Aware users are unhappy about rising prices despite worsening service quality. Users are bringing up issues with broken video history playback, unreliable familiar face detection, and more. Many are switching to alternatives like Ubiquiti or Reolink that offer better reliability and local control without subscription fees. Google recently increased the prices of its Nest Aware and Nest Aware Plus subscriptions, but many users say the service isn’

Why you can't color calibrate deep space photos

Why you can't color calibrate (deep) space photos: Jul 21, 2025 Color is the most disputed part of astrophotography. It seems like no two images have the same colors, and the internet is full of disputes over what colors are correct or natural. Human vision and perception are very complex. This description is hugely simplified as to fit in a blog post. If you want details, consult a textbook. Roughly speaking, our eyes have four types of photoreceptors. The most abundant, rods, provide a bla

GoPro’s refreshed Max 360 action camera is down to an all-time low price

The newest version comes with a long-lasting Enduro battery and an upgraded mounting system, making it compatible with all standard tripod mounts. Your purchase also includes two protective lens caps, a mounting buckle, and a microfiber bag to easily transport everything. The original GoPro Max was

The Morning After: This is the Pixel 10 (or maybe the Pixel 10 Pro)

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

Google Teases Pixel 10 Ahead of August Reveal

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

It appears that Google will be adding a third back camera to the base Pixel 10 this year, based on what Android Headlines reports are official renders of the rumored phone. The third camera will be a telephoto camera, Android Headlines says, with the other two cameras being a primary sensor and an ultrawide.

Apple’s new iPad Pro could get another front-facing camera

Apple’s upcoming iPad Pro could appease fans of both landscape and portrait mode by including two front-facing cameras.

This clever feature from Apple’s next iPad is something Android tablets also need

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Apple’s upcoming iPad Pro M5 will reportedly include two front cameras — one on the landscape edge and another on the portrait edge. The change will allow users to better use both portrait and landscape orientations for selfies or calls. Android tablets should also adopt this approach for its practical benefits. Most big launches are done for this year, but we still have two heavyweights to look forward to in the coming months. Google will launch the
