Google finally confirms Pixel 10 launch event — here’s everything to expect

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google has set an August 20 date for its next Made by Google event. The company intends to “share the latest on our Pixel phones, watches, buds, and more.” In addition to the Pixel 10 series, we could see the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a make their debut. Every year’s new Pixel lineup is an exciting one for devoted Android fans, but 2025 is really shaping up to be something special. With the TSMC-made Tensor G5 chip, the Pixel 10 series promises to

Mark Your Calendar: New Google Pixel Phones Are Coming on August 20

Buckle up! Google is throwing a party next month. Samsung announced its new Galaxy Z Fold 7 (check out my review here), the Z Flip 7, and the Galaxy Watch 8 and 8 Classic last week, and Google is going next before Apple will likely do its annual iPhone and Apple Watch event in September. Google has just announced an event for August 20, where it will “introduce the latest addition to our Pixel portfolio of devices.” Whatever could Google be hinting at? I’m sure it couldn’t be the Pixel 10, Pixe

Want to keep using Microsoft 365 in Windows 10 after October? You can - with caveats

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Microsoft is due to cut off support for Windows 10 in October. That means no more security patches, bug fixes, or technical help for the OS (unless you pay for extended security updates or can make the free options work for you). But what does that entail for Microsoft 365? In a recent online support article, Microsoft revealed the status of its popular office suite once Windows 10 becomes persona non grata. First off, Microsoft would rather all Microsoft 365 users

Google’s next Pixel Fold might be completely dust-proof

Google’s upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be the first dust-proof foldable. A new leak published by Android Headlines says the Pixel 10 Pro Fold may come with an IP68 rating, which would make it completely dust-tight and allow it to withstand continuous submersion in water. To compare, Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Motorola Razer Ultra have

New photographer? Here's the camera I recommend (and no, it's not a Sony)

ZDNET's key takeaways The Canon EOS R100 mirrorless camera is a great starter for aspiring photographers. It features a 24-megapixel sensor for great image quality and color and can capture 4K (UHD) video at 24 frames per second. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a flip-out preview screen.

Pixel 10 series FCC filing confirms connectivity features, hints at Samsung modem

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro XL have passed through the FCC website. Both phones apparently have satellite support, and there are hints of a Samsung modem once again. Meanwhile, the Pro version has Thread and UWB support while the standard model misses these features. Google is expected to launch the Pixel 10 series in the coming weeks, and we’ve already seen a steady stream of leaks. However, the latest leak comes via the company’s own regulatory

The best Alexa smart speaker I've tested isn't an Echo

ZDNET's key takeaways The Sonos Era 100 is a $249 smart speaker that I recommend to most people, audiophile or not. In addition to a full, booming sound, the Sonos speaker produces crystal-clear vocals that enhance any song and has hands-free Alexa for voice control. Since the Era 100 is built for smaller spaces, it doesn't support spatial audio or Dolby Atmos like its larger sibling, the Era 300. View now at Amazon When Sonos reached out to me to discuss the launch of a new line of smart spe

Don't Want to Upgrade to Windows 11? Microsoft Offers Free Windows 10 Security Updates

The era of Windows 10 is almost at an end. In October 2025, Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 and stopping security support. Initially Microsoft was offering a one-year extended security update for $30, but we've got good news. Microsoft has added a free option, allowing you to stick with Windows 10 for another year. However, in order to access it, users will need to use cloud backup and connect it with their OneDrive account. The ability to get free updates on Windows 10 is a pretty b

Clashes between web and X11 colors in the CSS color scheme

In computing, on the X Window System, X11 color names are represented in a simple text file, which maps certain strings to RGB color values. It was traditionally shipped with every X11 installation, hence the name, and is usually located in <X11root>/lib/X11/rgb.txt . The web colors list is descended from it but differs for certain color names.[1] Color names are not standardized by Xlib or the X11 protocol. The list does not show continuity either in selected color values or in color names, an

Pixel 10 Pro Fold may not be skinny, but it might have a larger battery

TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to have a slightly larger cover display. Google may have also increased the Fold’s battery capacity. The foldable should have a Tensor G5 chip with 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options. Recently, there has been a growing number of Pixel 10 series leaks as we inch closer to the eventual launch date. However, there isn’t nearly as much information about Google’s next foldable as there is about the rest of Pixel 10 family. That gets correc

Office problems on Windows 10? Microsoft’s response will soon be “upgrade to 11.”

Microsoft’s advertised end-of-support date for Windows 10 is October 14, 2025. But in reality, the company will gradually wind down support for the enduring popular operating system over the next three years. Microsoft would really like you to upgrade to Windows 11, especially if it also means upgrading to a new PC, but it also doesn’t want to leave hundreds of millions of home and business PCs totally unprotected. Those competing goals have led to lots of announcements and re-announcements and

Not again: Sony’s WH-1000XM6 hinge shows signs of cracking

TL;DR A WH-1000XM6 user has reported a broken hinge, even after using the headphones “carefully.” While there has only been this one report so far, Sony supposedly redesigned the XM6 hinge to prevent this. The problem echoes an issue that plagued the previous XM5 model. The flagship Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are barely two months old, but a new report is raising concerns about their durability. Specifically, it’s an issue from the predecessor device we had hoped was in the past. A Reddit po

I've tested dozens of smart locks, but I keep this one for its handy keycard feature

ZDNET's key takeaways The Aqara U100 smart lock was originally priced at $230, but it is currently discounted to $135. This smart lock is the most versatile I've tested; it offers a variety of unlocking options, a user-friendly app, and easy integration with Apple Home. The Aqara U100 drains the battery quickly, and the app doesn't always alert users, resulting in reduced performance within four months of use. $189.99 at Amazon $179.99 at Best Buy more buying choices The Aqara U100 Smart Lock

Chartchai Sansaneeyashewin/Getty Images Windows 11 is about to celebrate its fourth anniversary and runs on hundreds of millions of PCs worldwide. When it debuted in 2021, the new version of Microsoft's flagship operating system was arguably an incremental change to Windows 10, with a fresh look and feel on top of core code that was practically identical to its predecessor. The more important change, it turned out, was a new set of hardware compatibility requirements that made many existing PC

I May Have Found the Best Travel Camera

The dictionary used the long scale system, which is based on powers of a million. According to the
