ZDNET's Kerry Wan takes a photo with the Google Pixel 10 Pro camera. Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Isaac Reynolds has been working on the Pixel Camera team at Google for almost a decade -- since the first Google Pixel phone launched in 2016. And yet, I think it's fair to say that he's never been more bullish about the technology that Google has integrated into a phone camera than he is with this year's Pixel 10 Pro.

Google will not have to divest its Chrome browser but will have to change some of its business practices, a federal judge has ruled. The ruling comes more than a year after the same judge ruled that Google had acted illegally to maintain a monopoly in internet search.

Google critics think the search remedies ruling is a total whiff

Today’s ruling is a reminder of Google’s sweeping power over the online economy, but the limited remedies ordered by the court demonstrate why we need additional rules of the road for Big Tech. That’s why we must pass my bipartisan American Innovation and Choice Online Act to stop dominant platforms like Google from continuing to unfairly preference their own products over competitors’ — which hurts consumers and entrepreneurs, and stifles innovation.

Google Pixel 10 series review: Don't call it an Android

After 10 generations of Pixels, Google's phones have never been more like the iPhone, and we mean that both as a compliment and a gentle criticism. For people who miss the days of low-cost, tinkering-friendly Nexus phones, Google's vision is moving ever further away from that, but the attention to detail and overall polish of the Pixel experience continue with the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL.
