Google’s new Pixel 10 teaser is more like an Apple diss track

TL;DR Google has released a new teaser for the Pixel 10 series. The teaser features the Pixel 10 Pro in its Moonstone colorway. The tech giant appears to take a shot at Apple and its unreleased AI features. We’re only weeks away from the launch of the Pixel 10 series. Google is using the time between now and then to hype everyone up by releasing teasers. We got our first teaser two weeks ago, officially revealing the Pixel 10 Pro in the new Moonstone colorway. A second teaser has now been rel

Every angle of the Pixel 10 Pro gets exposed in latest leak

Google TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro has leaked once again. This leak shows off the device from every angle, except the top and bottom. The Pixel 10 series may be the worst-kept secret around.

Despite that, we’re not turning down any new opportunities to learn more about Google’s next flagship. With that said, more renders of the Pixel 10 have leaked, this tim

Google Pixel 10 ‘Soon’ teaser goes hard on iPhone’s AI Siri delays [Video]

With a little over two weeks until the announcement, a new Pixel 10 “Soon” teaser from Google heavily needles how Apple hasn’t been able to ship the Siri AI upgrades for the iPhone 16. The 30-second “Google Pixel 10 | Soon” teaser uploaded on Monday to the Made by Google YouTube channel is set to an instrumental version of “The Next Episode” by Dr. Dre. Apple of course acquired Beats by Dr. Dre in another dig. As the narration plays, we see stylized shots of the Pixel 10 Pro in Moonstone. If

Show HN: I spent 6 years building a ridiculous wooden pixel display

August 2, 2025 TL,DR: I built the world's most impractical 1000-pixel display and anyone in the world can draw on it If you just want to play with it, goto kilopx.com. The backstory Six years ago I had an idea to build a large, inefficient display with a web interface that anyone could interact with. I've enjoyed Danny Rozin's unconvenional mirrors over the years and was inspired by an eInk movie player that played at 24 frames per hour that got me thinking about a laborious display that cou

The element that stands out most is how easy it is to use. Android phones often get a bad rap for being overly convoluted. And to be fair, that's often well justified.

Perfecting anti-aliasing on signed distance functions

← index Doing anti-aliasing on SDF is not as straightforward as it seems. Most of the time, we see people use a smoothstep with hardcoded constants, sometimes with screen space information, sometimes cryptic or convoluted formulas. Even if SDFs have the perfect mathematical properties needed for a clean anti-aliasing, the whole issue has a scope larger than it appears at first glance. And even when trivial solutions exist, it's not always clear why they are a good fit. Let's study that together

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 be fooled by how many cameras a phone has ot the number of megapixels; more is not necessarily better. Phones are large in general with the smallest ones having a 6.1-inch screen and large models topping ou

7 ways Google could make a Pixel Flip the best flip phone foldable out there

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google is preparing to launch the Pixel 10 Pro Fold this month, marking the company’s third foray into the foldable phone space. What if you want a pocket-friendly Pixel foldable, though? Unfortunately, Google hasn’t launched a Pixel Flip, and we don’t expect one any time soon. That means Samsung and Motorola are the only globally available options if you want a foldable flip phone. That’s a real shame, because I can think of several ways that Google could ma

Gemini Will Overshadow the Best Upgrades to Google’s New Pixel Buds and Pixel Watch

My gut tells me that Google is going to use its Pixel devices launch event on August 20 to talk a lot about AI—specifically Gemini and how it’ll be woven into the Android-powered devices in a deep way. Google so poorly safeguarded the reveal of its entire Pixel hardware lineup that it only makes sense for the company to focus its upcoming event on AI rather than the gadgets themselves. That’s what I’m thinking about as I see the daily leaks for the Pixel 10 family and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, alo

Survey says more than half of Pixel 9 owners aren’t always happy with their camera

Over the weekend, I published an article discussing my frustration with my Pixel 9 Pro’s cameras, especially in darker and warmer environments . I showcased several examples, from the least noticeable to the most glaring, where the photo that I see in the viewfinder on my phone and the final image I get after processing are so different that it feels jarring to witness that transformation. My conclusion was that the Pixel camera seems to be working extra hard to fake a white balance that isn’t

Google Pixel 10 leaks have been in full force over the last couple of weeks, and one of the latest leaks is one of the most important yet: Pixel 10 pricing.

Google’s Pixel Tablet is $190 off for a limited time

During the most recent Prime Day, the Google Pixel Tablet with Wi-Fi and 256GB of storage briefly dropped to just $309 ($190 off) — but the deal disappeared in a matter of hours. Fast forward to today, and the deal is back, but this time it’s available at Best Buy. Unfortunately, the discount is for today only (or until supplies last) and doesn’t include the speaker dock. The Pixel Tablet hit the scene back in 2023, so by tech standards, it’s relatively old. That being said, the discount certai

Pixel Watch 4 US pricing leak has a pleasant surprise for cellular fans

TL;DR Google’s expected to launch the Pixel Watch 4 at its August 20 event. A new leak claims to expect base pricing to match last year’s, but LTE models may be cheaper. We also hear about charging speeds, which could be 25% faster than the Watch 3. With August now on our doorstep, Google’s next hardware launches are almost upon us, and we’re quite literally counting down the days until the Made by Google event scheduled for August 20. That’s bringing us the Pixel 10 family, sure, and while t

Pixel Buds 2a leak spoils the last mystery leading up to Google’s launch

TL;DR The Pixel Buds 2a have leaked. The renders show Google’s earbuds in the new Iris colorway. The Pixel Buds 2a are also believed to come in Fog Light, Hazel, and Strawberry colors. In the next few weeks, we’ll be saying hello to Google’s new hardware. The launch should include the Pixel 10 series, the Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a. While there have been plenty of leaks about the next generation Pixel phones and smartwatch, we haven’t heard much about these new earbuds. That starts to c

This hidden Pixel camera setting gave my photos the pop they've been missing

Kerry Wan/ZDNET One reason why the Pixel phones are so popular is the camera. There's a depth, a level of clarity, and brilliant/accurate colors that most phone cameras cannot match. Also: How to clear your Android phone cache (and why it greatly improves performance) Google is always trying to one-up itself by improving the Pixel camera with every iteration.

Kerry Wan/ZDNET There's been no shortage of Pixel 10 leaks leading up to its expected August launch event -- even Google has taken part in it.

I’m not convinced about the Pixel 10 Pro’s 100x zoom, and you shouldn’t be either

The Google Pixel 10 series is just a few weeks away, and I’m keenly waiting to see what these new phones offer. One of the most intriguing and persistent rumors is that the base model will have a telephoto camera, but what about the Pro phones? It sounds like Google could maintain the same 48MP 5x cameras seen on the Pixel 9 Pro series. However, a trove of marketing material shared by veteran leaker Evan Blass has revealed that the Pixel 10 Pro phones could get 100x zoom. I’m not convinced that

The company also says that Pixel phones are better than MediaTek-powered devices if you want to emulate PC titles: When it comes to simulating PC environments, if you have to choose a Mali device, Pixel phones are still your best option.

How one single image may have convinced me to buy the Google Pixel 10

Google Pixel 10 leaks have been nonstop over the last few weeks. From device renders and specs to Tensor G5 details, little has been left to the imagination. What we’ve seen so far has painted a promising, if not overly exciting, picture for Google’s next phones. The Tensor G5 should be the highlight, thanks to its new 3nm design and Google’s switch from Samsung Foundry to TSMC. The base Pixel 10 getting a telephoto camera is exciting, too. While the leaks have been fine, I haven’t seen anythi

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold dimensions tell a grim yet promising story

Late last week, we got a sneak peek at the upcoming Pixel 10 series’ dimensions. While all phones in the line-up are getting heavier than their predecessors in the Pixel 9 series, it’s the Pixel 10 Pro Fold that jumped out to me, mostly because it’s eschewing the entire foldable industry’s trend right now. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is slightly narrower than the 9 Pro Fold (while also sporting smaller bezels and a larger outer display), but it’s a little thicker when unfolded, even thicker when fold

Google Pixel 11 rumors: Release date, codename, camera features, and everything else we know so far

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Although we’re still waiting for the Google Pixel 10 series to launch, we already have substantial information about the Pixel 11 series. This is courtesy of a significant Google Chips division leak from the Android Authority team. Will the Pixel 11 bring noteworthy changes to Google’s lineup? The answer might be yes, though whether these changes are improvements will likely depend on individual preferences. Let’s explore the current Pixel 11 rumors and a short

Google Pixel 10 launch: What we expect to see at the Made by Google event on August 20

After largely focusing Google I/O 2025 on the ways the company wants Gemini to change everything from searching the web to filmmaking, Google is finally ready to launch new hardware. The next Made by Google event is on the books for August 20, and Google has already confirmed what at least one of its new Pixel 10 phones will look like. Google remains as leak-prone as ever, so nearly all the new hardware the company is expected to announce has all ready been reported on in one form or another. W

TL;DR The prices for the entire Google Pixel 10 series have leaked. It appears there won’t be any price increases this year. However, the Pixel 10 Pro XL may have a new starting price. A question we have long had about the Pixel 10 series is whether there will be a price hike. With the ongoing tariff situation, there seemed to be a good chance that we could see higher prices. Those fears may have been put to rest, however, after the most recent Pixel 10 leak. The prices of the entire Pixel 1
