You shouldn’t buy the best Android phone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-01 09:00:12

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Last week, I came across a now-deleted Reddit thread from a Google Pixel user who discussed their perceived satisfaction when using a Google Pixel 9a versus the more expensive Pixel 9 Pro. The original poster detailed their experience buying the most expensive Pixel out there, not being happy with it, returning it, and buying the Pixel 9a instead, and ending up much more content with the cheaper phone despite their (very tech-savvy) friends’ constant taunting a

Don’t just buy a Pixelsnap Charger without thinking about your USB ports

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-01 17:57:03

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Some new Pixel 10 owners are running into trouble with Google’s Pixelsnap Charger due to insufficient power input. When buying a charger, make sure that the device you want to power it with is capable of meeting its listed needs. Google requires 35W of input to use the Pixelsnap Charger at full 25W output. Charging phones is finally exciting again! Well, maybe “exciting” is overselling it — and not so much “again,” we guess — but charging is absolutel

Google’s Pixel Flex 67W charger is USB-C protocol perfection — but there’s a pretty huge oversight

Google Pixel Flex Dual Port 67W USB-C Fast Charger Google's 67W dual-port charger supports the latest and greatest USB Power Delivery standards and impressive split-power capabilities that'll effortlessly fast-charge your new Pixel and much more. However, Pixel-priority charging causes headaches when mixing and matching gadgets.

Google Pixel 10 Pro XL looks like one of the most repairable phones of 2025 in teardown video

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-02 13:57:45

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR YouTuber JerryRigEverything has conducted a teardown of the Pixel 10 Pro XL. The teardown reveals just how easy it would be to repair the flagship phone. Google made the battery and display especially easy to remove. As other brands continue to make their smartphones increasingly difficult to repair, it appears Google has gone the opposite direction with the Pixel 10. The Pixel 10 Pro XL has now been fully disassembled in a new teardown video. This vi

Beyond package management: How Nix refactored my digital life

(You can find my Nix config over on Github) I'm a disorganised person. My workflow is to bounce around a codebase for days/weeks at a time and when I come up for air I'll usually have left a slew of configs, tools, scripts, repos scattered around my computer like the socks near the bed, or the pile of paperwork on my desk. After a while I reach a point where it all becomes unmanageable. I'll wade on (unproductively) until I can't go any further, then reset my laptop and spend a week reconfiguri

The iPhone 17 looks great, but I’d still choose the Pixel 10 over it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-02 20:30:44

Robert Triggs / Android Authority At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel about the iPhone 17. To me, all of the leaks pointed towards another year of the same old, same old. But then, Apple unveiled its base-level flagship, and it had some tricks up its sleeve. It gave the base iPhone 17 a 120Hz refresh rate, an updated chipset, and doubled its base storage — not to mention a 48MP ultrawide camera. And you know what? Those are all significant upgrades. They’ll make the iPhone 17 Apple’s best yet.

A Telegram user alerted us about the feature, and we confirmed it’s working on our Pixel 9. Last year, Gemini introduced a split-screen shortcut for large-screen Android devices such as foldables and tablets. The feature worked on Samsung devices, the Pixel Tablet, and the Pixel Fold.

Google is one of the most ardent proponents of generative AI technology, as evidenced by the recent launch of the Pixel 10 series. The phones were announced with more than 20 new AI experiences, according to Google. However, one of them is already being pulled from the company's phones.

It appears that the screws that hold the ring to the magnetic panel are becoming loose. One of the more exciting aspects of the Pixel 10’s launch was the announcement of the new Pixelsnap accessories.
