Google will throttle your Pixel 10’s battery, and there’s nothing you can do about it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-13 17:00:00

TL;DR Google has confirmed that its Battery Health Assistance feature can’t be turned off on the Pixel 10 phones. This feature gradually reduces your phone’s charging speed and battery to “stabilize” battery performance and aging. This also comes after a string of Pixel A series phones suffered from major battery issues. Google introduced a Battery Health Assistance feature on the Pixel 9a earlier this year. This feature gradually drops your phone’s charging speed and battery voltage in the n

5 reasons I’d get the Pixel 10 over the Pixel 9a

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-13 17:00:53

The Pixel 10 has just launched, and it’s already turning out to be everyone’s darling. The phone feels like a big step up from its predecessor on nearly every front, so much so that Google’s budget champ, the Pixel 9a, feels like it’s been left further behind. And honestly, it doesn’t even look like part of the family either without that recognizable camera visor. It’s a close cousin at best. With their apparent differences, you already sort of expect that I’d prefer the Pixel 10 over the 9a, w

Fusion is always 10 years away, it seems. To expedite development, some scientists have turned to the prospect of cold fusion—a hypothetical technology that seeks to achieve fusion at room temperature with simpler machines. Needless to say, no one has achieved this vaunted goal, but a team of chemists believes they’re getting closer.
