The Pixel 10 Pro has the display upgrade your poor eyes have been begging for

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro series introduces a new “sensitive eyes” setting that doubles its display PWM rate to 480Hz. The option is limited to the Pro models, with partial support on the Pro Fold, and none on the base Pixel 10. This is Google’s first significant step toward helping flicker-sensitive users, but it could go further. OLED screens are great for deep blacks and rich colors, but they also have a hidden flicker problem. It’s caused by PWM dimming, w

Google’s not done yet, with a new Android Canary release arriving for testers

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR Google started its Android Canary program earlier this summer. So far that’s meant a new Canary release on roughly a monthly cadence. Today Android Canary 2508 has landed for users interested in trying it out. Google, you do know that other days of the week exist, right? Because so far this Wednesday, Google has been getting stuff done like it’s planning to shut down operation at the end of the day ahead of a nice, long four-day weekend. A few hours ba

I went hands-on with every Google Pixel 10 phone, and this model stole my heart

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Pixel 10 lineup brings welcome changes across all models. Base Pixel 10 suits most, but power users will prefer Pro XL. Pro XL is the sleeper hit with top performance and endurance. Get more in-depth ZDNET tech coverage: Add us as a preferred Google source on Chrome and Chromium browsers.

I tried the standard Google Pixel 10 and didn't miss the Pro models one bit

Kerry Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Google Pixel 10 packs the Tensor G5 chipset, a new telephoto lens, and other long-awaited hardware upgrades. On the software side, the Google Pixel 10's AI suite can predict your needs, edit photos for you, and more. While packing all of these upgrades, the Pixel 10 still retails for $799.

Google Pixel 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S25: The choice is clear for me

While Google’s Pixel line has gained momentum over the years, I’ve always felt that Samsung’s Galaxy S series was the safer bet. It delivered a more premium build, faster internals, and a strong reliability track record. But with the Pixel 10 series now officially announced, Google seems to have addressed those shortcomings head-on. That begs the question: Is the Pixel 10 good enough to take on the Galaxy S25 series? While we haven’t had extended time with Google’s flagship phones yet, even on

FTC Sues Gym Chains for Making It Hard to Cancel Memberships

The Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit against the operators of several gym chains, including LA Fitness, on Wednesday over allegations that they make it too difficult to cancel memberships. And that’s probably welcome news for anyone who’s had the displeasure of trying to cancel with their gym. The companies being sued by the FTC are Fitness International and Fitness & Sports Clubs, which own gym chains like Esporta Fitness, City Sports Club, and Club Studio. The largest chain, LA Fitnes

Made by Google 2025: Everything Announced - Pixel 10, Pixel Watch 4, Pixel 10 Pro Fold

Even though the Pixel 10 leaks and rumors felt as if they arrived in a steady firehose before today's Made by Google event -- compelling the company to release a teaser video pre-announcing the new phone's existence a month ago -- Google still delivered details it somehow managed to keep private until it was ready to share. And that delivery was refreshingly fun for a tech event. The Tonight Show host Jimmy Kimmel led the proceedings in a very late-night talk show format, bringing on several sp

Microsoft is working on a fix for PC shader stutter

Microsoft is creating a new "advanced shader delivery" feature for the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally handhelds that might make loading games faster and more stutter-free. The company teased the upcoming feature alongside the announcement of the launch date for the first Xbox-branded handhelds and the company's new compatibility system for figuring out if games will run well on handhelds. Shader stutter is a widespread issue in PC gaming that doesn't occur on consoles because of their uniform hardware. You

The AI Battle’s Newest Warrior Strikes a Major Blow to Big Tech

The ongoing slugfest between tech players racing to get the most intuitive and powerful AI may have just gotten a brief knockout punch. The slammer that landed? A new version of DeepSeek’s increasingly impressive V3.1, which has a whopping 685-billion-parameter system and can deliver about $1.01 per complete coding task, compared to a beginning price of $70 for traditional systems. 🚨 BREAKING: DeepSeek V3.1 is Here! 🚨 The AI giant drops its latest upgrade — and it’s BIG: ⚡685B parameters 🧠L

Forget the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Foldables Should Look Like the Microsoft Surface Duo

Google almost got it right with the first Pixel Fold. As Google unveils its latest foldable, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, at this year's Made by Google event, I keep thinking about the original Pixel Fold. Released in 2023, it was far from a perfect phone. It was underpowered, had a thick inner bezel and couldn't open completely flat. Even then, it was a beautiful device with a shiny stainless steel chassis that felt substantial in the hand. Not only that, it was wide. The passport-like form factor m

Pixel 10 Pro vs Galaxy S25 Ultra: I know which one I’d get

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the smartphone equivalent of an all-inclusive holiday and costs about as much. Packing a massive screen, an impressive camera array, and plenty of push for even the pickiest power user, it’s not a smartphone you simply settle on. But, flagship devices only have a brief time in the sun before something new and potentially better comes along. The latest pretender is from Google and is in the form of the Pixel 10 Pro.

The Pixel 10 series is here, and this is the one I’d get

Google’s Pixel 10 series has inspired various views from me and my colleagues, even weeks before its official launch. There’s little doubt that the company smashed the copy-paste shortcut when designing the Pixel 9 line successor, and for some, this similar aesthetic just isn’t good enough. However, you’ll notice a few standout additions and improvements if you peer deeper into the Pixel 10 trio’s specs sheets and feature files.

Gemini is launching in early access on smart displays and speakers in October, Google announced in a new blog post. Gemini for Home will replace Google Assistant on the company's smart home devices, and will apparently be available in both free and paid versions, implying Google is interested in expanding its subscription business, not unlike Amazon is with Alexa+.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is officially out for PC and consoles

Ubisoft and Evil Empire's long-awaited The Rogue Prince of Persia is finally out and available for purchase.

Say farewell to the AI bubble, and get ready for the crash

Most people not deeply involved in the artificial intelligence frenzy may not have noticed, but perceptions of AI’s relentless march toward becoming more intelligent than humans, even becoming a threat to humanity, came to a screeching halt Aug. 7. That was the day when the most widely followed AI company, OpenAI, released GPT-5, an advanced product that the firm had long promised would put competitors to shame and launch a new revolution in this purportedly revolutionary technology.

I'm Stoked That Google Made the Pixel 10 a $799 Value-Packed Feature Monster

The Pixel 10 has arrived. It has a bigger battery, support for faster charging, new AI-powered tools and new cameras including one with a 5x telephoto lens (the first on a non-Pro Pixel phone). After years of Google raising the price on its standard Pixel phone, it's nice to see the company pack the Pixel 10 with features while keeping the starting price at $799, the same as last year's Pixel 9. The Pixel 10, announced at the Made by Google event, builds on last year's excellent Pixel 9 design

The 12 Best Eye Creams of 2025

According to dermatologist Dr. Sheila Farhang, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Avant Dermatology & Aesthetics, eye creams can provide real benefits if you choose the right product and ingredients. "In my opinion, you really should invest in the product you're putting on your eyes daily because [the eye area] is the thinnest skin on our body and is super sensitive to allergens/irritation and you want it to work and have science to back it up -- especially for the anti-aging/fine lin

An Exclusive Look at Reliability Labs, Where Google Stress-Tests Pixel Hardware

Smartphones are durable, powerful devices we carry everywhere. They get slightly better every year, too. Whether that's through improved glass technology that's more shatter- and scratch-proof, or screen size adjustments to ensure the best experience in your hand. Take the just-announced Pixel 10 Pro Fold, for example. It's now IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, just like most flagship candybar phones. Just a few years ago, the hinge mechanism on folding phones was still having problems
