Forging connections in space with cellular technology

The Intuitive Machines IM-2 Mission in March marked a milestone moment for cellular technology capable of withstanding the rigors of space travel, a level of connectivity that will be critical in fueling any future space economy.

Google will throttle your Pixel 10’s battery, and there’s nothing you can do about it

I held the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and these are the 4 things that impressed me about it

I won’t deny that the first leaks of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s renders and dimensions left a sour taste in my mouth. I was expecting Google to repeat what it did with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold — one of my favorite foldables from last year — and release a slimmer, more powerful workhorse. If Samsung had finally woken up and understood that lighter weight and single-handed comfort and usability were paramount for foldables, it only made sense that Google would answer back with a better proposition. Alas,

Pixel 10 vs Pixel 9: Here’s why I’m tempted to upgrade

Autumn isn’t usually the time to compare a newly launched phone to its direct predecessor. The upgrades over a device from a year ago are typically so minimal that one should stick to their existing phone for a couple more years before considering an upgrade. But the new Pixel 10 is a little different this time around. The Pixel 10 is getting improvements in nearly every single department, making it feel like a proper generational leap. On an individual level, these may seem like little upgrade

The Pixel 10 Pro has a smart home feature that might make it future-proof

TL;DR The Google Pixel 10 Pro includes a built-in Thread radio, a crucial piece of hardware for the future of the smart home. Thread is a low-power mesh network that offers a more reliable and faster connection for smart home devices compared to Wi-Fi.

Google’s commitment to seven years of software support for the new Pixel 10 series is bold, as the phone’s state-of-t

Gemini Live is becoming a more helpful digital assistant that can match your mood

I’ve used the three Pixel 10 slab phones, and I’ll say this: Don’t judge a book by its cover

It’s hard to believe we are on the tenth generation of Pixel phones. Not only is it hard to believe because the OG Pixel launched nine years ago (seriously; I’m so old), but also because it’s so rare for Google to actually stick with any kind of product for that long. Regardless, here we are with the Google Pixel 10 series — and it might just be the company’s most important launch ever. I had the opportunity to go hands-on with all the devices launched at the 2025 Made by Google event, but here

5 reasons I’d get the Pixel 10 over the Pixel 9a

The Pixel 10 has just launched, and it’s already turning out to be everyone’s darling. The phone feels like a big step up from its predecessor on nearly every front, so much so that Google’s budget champ, the Pixel 9a, feels like it’s been left further behind. And honestly, it doesn’t even look like part of the family either without that recognizable camera visor. It’s a close cousin at best. With their apparent differences, you already sort of expect that I’d prefer the Pixel 10 over the 9a, w

5 reasons I’d get the Pixel 10 Pro Fold over the Galaxy Fold 7

When the Galaxy Z Fold 7 arrived earlier this year, I recommended it over the Pixel 9 Pro Fold thanks to its superior processing power, slimmer and lighter design, and impressive camera upgrades. Now that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is here, the game changes again — but which is the better buy when it comes to Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs Galaxy Z Fold 7? Good question. Honestly, it’s a closer call this time, largely because the Fold 7 still gets so much right. Even so, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is a strong step

Google announces Tensor G5: What’s new with the Pixel 10 processor?

Google has just announced the Pixel 10 series, and all four phones are powered by the Tensor G5 processor. Tensor chips have traditionally enabled a variety of great Pixel-only features, but have also lagged behind rivals when it comes to peak horsepower and efficiency. Nevertheless, the Tensor G5 is a landmark processor for the company as it’s the first Tensor chip made by TSMC instead of long-time partner Samsung. So what do we know about this silicon? A cooler, more frugal Pixel chip (in th

Pixel 10 Pro Fold is here: Is this the Galaxy Z Fold 7 rival you’ve been waiting for?

Google has launched the new Pixel 10 series, featuring new Pixelsnap accessories thanks to the magnets built into the phone. While these magnets will steal the

After trying the Pixel Watch 4, I can’t wait to ditch my Pixel Watch 3

I always underestimate what effect a smaller bezel and larger display will have on me when I see a new product. It happened with many Pixel phones and watches before, where I based my early opinion on online renders. The real thing, though, ends up being 10 times better. And this is precisely what happened when I saw and tried the new Pixel Watch 4 for the first time. There’s something more elegant and refined about Google’s new smartwatch, but that’s not all.
