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

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-30 22:37:52

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

GM to challenge China’s LFP monopoly with upgraded battery factory

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-07-31 03:04:11

GM said Monday it is working with joint venture partner LG Energy Solution to upgrade its Ultium battery factory to make lithium-iron-phosphate cells for the automaker’s low-cost EVs. The factory’s overhaul will give LFP production in the United States a significant boost. Despite being invented and commercialized in the U.S., today the vast majority of LFP cells are currently made in China.

GM, LG to upgrade Tennessee plant to make low-cost EV batteries

Ultium Cells, a joint venture between General Motors and LG Energy Solution, said Monday it's upgrading its facility in Spring Hill, Tennessee, to make low-cost electric vehicle battery cells. GM said the lithium iron phosphate battery cells — abbreviated LFP based on the elements' chemical symbols — could be significantly cheaper than battery packs used in some EVs, in part because they don't require expensive minerals like cobalt and nickel that are used in standard lithium-ion batteries.

Which smartphone has the best battery life? I tested dozens to find the winner

If there’s one thing we all want from our next smartphone, it’s more battery life. Thankfully, battery cells are bigger than ever, while processors are increasingly frugal. This means that many, but certainly not all, flagship and mid-range handsets can take us through a day without leaving us suffering from battery anxiety. However, some phones are definitely better than others at lasting through more demanding work/life balances or taking lighter users through a second day. Not to mention, th
