Possible Google Pixel 10a back cover makes a very early (and very sketchy) appearance

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-18 04:33:12

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR An image of a “Google Pixel 10A engineering back cover” has emerged online. The back appears to be slightly different from the Pixel 9a. It’s only been a few months since the release of the Pixel 9a, but that’s not going to stop leakers from going after its successor. We’ve already heard a few rumors about the Pixel 10a, such as its codename. Now a new potential leak may give us a few more details about the next entry to Google’s mid-range line. On the C

Pixel 10 Pro’s new display tackles eye strain, but it’s not the leap I wanted

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Google Pixel 10 rumors are coming thick and fast these days as we close in on the launch date in just a few months. Last week, we learned the upcoming phone’s Pro models will likely ship with a 480Hz PWM display — a first for the Pixel series. High PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) rates aren’t new to smartphone displays; we’ve already seen phones boasting thousands of Hz. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra offers a 1,920Hz PWM rate, the OnePlus 13 clocks in at 2,160Hz, and the H

A wide range of band materials and colors are also said to be coming, including two-tone leather, crafted leather, active, metal mesh, performance loop, woven, and more.

I test all the best Android phones every year, and these are the ones you should buy in 2025

It’s a funny thing, this idea of calling something the best. After all, everyone wants to think that their favorite of anything is the best — the best album, book, or cup of coffee — but that can’t always be true. And, when you apply the idea of being the best to a category as wide open as Android phones, which can come in different shapes, sizes, and prices, the task becomes even greater. However, I think I have a pretty good idea of what makes an Android phone great. I test and review dozens

5 reasons why Google’s Pixel software is better than Samsung’s One UI

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority Sorry, Samsung, but I’ve always been a Pixel fan. Although I’ve appreciated a Galaxy device here and there and had a soft spot for Samsung’s hardware ever since I brought home the Galaxy S10 at the end of college, I’ve always been happiest with a Google device in my pocket. For a while, I wasn’t quite sure why I felt so strongly about preferring Google’s experience over Samsung’s, but after a few recent updates, I’ve come around to a simple fact: Google’s Pix

A mandatory update for Google’s mid-range Pixel 6A phones is coming next week that is meant to reduce the risk of the battery overheating on some devices. According to a support page post, Google is issuing the mandatory Android 16 update starting July 8 to all Pixel 6A devices. However, only users with “Impacted Devices” will see any effect on their battery.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority One UI 8 beta is already rolling out to Galaxy Watches, and I’m equally annoyed by and in awe of it. The reason is that I was a Galaxy Watch 4 user back in 2021, but I migrated to Google’s wearable when the first Pixel Watch launched. My decision was mostly guided by my desire to stay within Fitbit’s ecosystem, which had many years of my personal activity and health data.
