I Took Hundreds of Photos With the Pixel 10 Pro XL in Paris. These Are My Favs

The phone's hardware hasn't changed much from last year, with a 50-megapixel main camera, a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 48-megapixel telephoto camera offering 5x optical zoom. With the new processor and a host of software improvements, Google says it's made its best camera phone yet. To test the company's boasts, I headed out onto the streets. I was testing the Pixel 10 Pro XL, which has an identical camera setup to the base Pixel 10 Pro. Note, too, that to reduce file sizes for displa

Exclusive: Google Pixel Watch 4 Teardown Shows Easy Repairability

Google’s first Pixel Watch was fashionably late to the wrist computing party, arriving in 2022 when the market was already quite mature. And while the smartwatch has since cemented its place among top-tier wearables, it has one red flag: It isn’t repairable. For the past three generations, Google has been replacing broken Pixel Watches instead of repairing them. “Watches and wearables are still fairly nascent," a spokesperson explained at a 2024 Climate Week panel when asked why the watch wasn'

Google Pixel 10 Series, Pixel Watch 4, Pixel Buds 2a: Specs, Features, Release Date

Nearly a decade ago, Google announced the first Pixel phone at an event in San Francisco. When Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai took the stage that day, he talked about the mobile-first to AI-first transition. “I believe computers should adapt to how people live their lives, rather than people having to adapt to computers.” That vision is still playing out on the Pixel phone, which is now in its 10th generation. Google is unveiling its Pixel 10 series Android smartphones today. The lineup is comprise

An Exclusive Look at Reliability Labs, Where Google Stress Tests Pixel Hardware

Smartphones are durable, powerful devices we carry everywhere. They get slightly better every year, too.

Google has formally announced the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL, and their hardware upgrades can be summed up in two letter/number combinations: G5 and Qi2.

They mostly cost the same as last year’s devices — $799 for the Pixel 10, $999 for the 10 Pro, and $1,199 for the 256GB 10 Pro XL, though Google got rid of the cheaper 128GB Pro XL variant. They also look an awful lot like last year’s phones, with a few specs tweaked here and

‘Alien: Earth’ Finished Its First Major Arc With Action and Intrigue

The second episode of Alien: Earth ended on not just a cliffhanger; it was a cliff-jumper. A xenomorph grabbed Joe (Alex Lawther) and jumped off a ledge, sending his sister Wendy (Sydney Chandler) on a quest to rescue him. That’s where episode three picked up, and the showdown resulted in not just a fun, gross action set piece but also some tantalizing teases of where things will go the rest of the season. Episode three of Alien: Earth is called “Metamorphosis,” and while that certainly could r

Several weeks ago, I published an open thread highlighting how underwhelming the Pixel 10 leaks had been up until then.
