Even with three cameras, the Pixel 10 isn’t the Pixel phone I want

Thanks to Google’s nonchalance about early announcements, we’ve already seen how the new Pixel 10 series is going to look. The biggest upgrade by far is coming to the base model, which is, for the first time, getting a third camera lens on the back. It’s such a big upgrade that it makes the Pixel 10 the perfect phone for most people — you won’t be missing out on the usual differentiator between the Pro and non-Pro models. But here’s the thing: the Pro and non-Pro Pixels remain two different ent

Forget Reddit, Google wants gamers to use the Play Store as a forum (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a new, in-app community forum for gamers within the Play Store. The feature will allow users to create posts, share tips, ask questions, and start discussions around games. We’ve been tracking a new forum-like feature within the Google Play Store for many months. Initially, the clues weren’t sufficient to reach a conclusion, so we refrained from sharing them. But now we’ve seen enough of them to preliminarily conclude that Google

A promising Sega Saturn emulator brings major improvements in a beefy update

TL;DR The Ymir emulator for PCs has received a major update that improves performance and compatibility. The Sega Saturn emulator also now offers screenshot functionality and support for two notable Saturn controllers. The Sega Saturn is one of the more complicated retro video game consoles to emulate, but we’ve seen several solid emulators over the years. Most recently, a developer released the nifty Ymir emulator for computers, and it’s just received a major update. Ymir is a Sega Saturn em

As a Pixel Watch fan, here are the 3 reasons I’m excited about the Pixel Watch 4

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority I’ve been a Google Pixel Watch user and fan since the original launched in 2022. I wore it every day — except when I was charging it — and then upgraded to the Pixel Watch 2 and later to the 45mm Pixel Watch 3. In the last three years, you could hardly see me without Google’s smartwatch strapped to my wrist, and for good reason. I love the Fitbit integration and the fact that I can keep my existing fitness data rolling without wearing a standalone tracker. The

OnePlus 15’s SuperBlack could be the blackest black color we’ve seen on a phone

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR The upcoming OnePlus 15 may feature a brand new design, including a “black hole”-inspired aesthetic featuring the SuperBlack color and a new camera island design. The phone is rumored to come with a 6.78-inch flat LIPO display with a 1.5K resolution and symmetrically thin bezels. Other leaks suggest the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chipset, a 50MP triple camera, and a 7,000mAh battery. Once the Pixel 10 series launches, we’re

This Gemini UI change should’ve been the default from the start (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google could move Gemini’s AI model switcher to the bottom of your smartphone screen. This would make it easier to switch AI models with one hand compared to the current UI. Google could also bring a UI tweak to Gemini’s video menu. Google’s Gemini chatbot lets you choose between several AI models for your specific needs. You can use the flash models if you value quick, responsive answers, or the Pro models if you need more in-depth answers. Now, it

Fortnite returns to the App Store in another country after court ruling

Fortnite returned to the App Store in the US back in May after a federal court ruling, and is now set to return in Australia too after a similar judgment there. While Epic Games celebrated the ruling, the fate of the app in other countries still remains far from certain – and its availability in the US may be temporary … A quick recap Epic Games was thrown out of Apple’s App Store rules by introducing its own in-app payment system, bypassing Apple’s 30% commission – a blatant breach of Apple’

The new Preview app has a fun interactive Liquid Glass easter egg

As part of the overall redesign, Liquid Glass has been implemented throughout iOS 26, changing how app icons, toolbars, tab bars and system controls look and behave. But Apple is also open to just having a bit of a fun with the new material, like the completely-over-the-top refraction effect when you pull down the Lock Screen. With beta 6, Apple hid another fun Liquid Glass easter egg inside the Preview app on iPad. See the video after the break … Preview is a new app available on iPadOS 26 th

The Morning After: The best Switch 2 games (so far)

A couple of months since the Switch 2 launched, we’ve all got to grips with the new magnetic-latching Joy-Cons, the jump in graphic fidelity and (honestly) the wait for a next-gen Zelda or Mario title. With the arrival of Donkey Kong Bananza, the new console has its first entirely new breakout platformer hit, we asked the Engadget team for the must-have games on the Switch 2. TMA (CD Projekt Red) With a leap in processing power, the Switch 2 can now handle ostensibly huge games like Hitman and

Saint Paul cyberattack linked to Interlock ransomware gang

The mayor of Saint Paul, Minnesota's capital city, has confirmed that the Interlock ransomware gang is responsible for a cyberattack that disrupted many of the city's systems and services in July. On July 29th, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz activated the National Guard in response to the crippling cyberattack that had affected St. Paul's digital services and critical systems. The city requested Minnesota National Guard's cyber protection support due to the cyberattack's impact exceeding St. Paul

The Best Line Length

What’s a good maximum line length for your coding standard? This is, of course, a trick question. By posing it as a question, I have created the misleading impression that it is a question, but Black has selected the correct number for you; it’s 88 which is obviously very lucky. Thanks for reading my blog. OK, OK. Clearly, there’s more to it than that. This is an age-old debate on the level of “tabs versus spaces”. So contentious, in fact, that even the famously opinionated Black does in fact

Alienware 16 Area-51 Review: If Only the Display Was as Fantastic as the Mechanical Keyboard

The new Area-51 laptop feels like Alienware in a way that its most recent gaming PCs like its mammoth Area-51 desktop have not. The gaming laptop is extra: extra glowy, extra clicky, and all too over the top. The bottom panel sports a massive window where you can peer directly at the fan components. The only way you’d catch a glimpse of the rotating fans and the tint of RGB is if you lift up your laptop as if you were looking for a quarter that rolled under your dresser. The Razer Blade 18 has a

The Best Whitening Toothpaste of 2025, According to Dentists

Why we like it: Colgate Optic White Pro Series toothpaste is one whitening toothpaste that Dr. Fatima Khan, a dentist in Houston, Texas, recommends. Some of her reasons for recommending it include its trusted brand name and its 5% hydrogen peroxide whitening agent. Unlike other whitening agents that work by removing stains on the surface of the tooth, hydrogen peroxide can get inside the tooth so it whitens intrinsically as well as extrinsically. Sachar also recommends this toothpaste, saying,

'Japanese Walking' and Walking Pads Keep Trending, but Is That Actually Exercise? We Asked Fitness Experts

Whether you're using an under-desk treadmill or walking pad or going on a "hot girl walk" outdoors, it's safe to say that people are interested in walking as exercise. And now, "Japanese walking," or interval walking training, is having a moment. The Washington Post reports that Japanese walking originated from a 2007 study in Japan, which concluded that high-intensity interval walking may protect middle-aged and older people from increases in blood pressure and decreases in muscle strength and

This iOS 26 Feature Lets You Stop iPhone Spam Calls In a Few Easy Steps

Apple released the second public beta of iOS 26 on Aug. 7. The update brought a handful of new features, like a new Liquid Glass design and the ability to change your alarm's snooze length, to the iPhones of developers and beta testers. It also gave developers and beta testers an easy way to stop spam callers from bothering them with a new call screening feature. Call screening isn't an Apple Intelligence feature, so any iOS 26 compatible iPhone, like the iPhone 14 Pro, will get this feature wh

Central American Beaches Are Being Overrun With Local and Foreign Plastic

A Powerade bottle from 2001 was found on Yaya, a Peruvian beach south of Lima. A Coca-Cola bottle from 2002 was found on Robinson Crusoe Island, a World Biosphere Reserve, in Chile. These were the oldest of all the bottles collected. These discarded pieces of packaging were collected in a new macro-study that looked at the origin of plastic bottle pollution on beaches and cities along Latin America’s Pacific coastline. The research—the first to be conducted on a regional scale, thanks to a citi

Lisa Su Runs AMD—and Is Out for Nvidia’s Blood

A piece of advice if you’re meeting with Lisa Su: Wear sneakers. Su, the leader of AMD, moves fast these days, though I suspect that’s always been the case. Her company's chips underpin the artificial intelligence that’s changing the world at breakneck speeds. To hear Su and literally everyone else in semiconductors talk about it, the US is in an AI race with China—and the rules keep changing. The Trump administration has once again shifted its stance on what kind of chips can and can’t be ship

Apple’s AI Ambitions Leave Big Questions Over Its Climate Goals

Here’s a simple question: Is the current top iPhone better for the environment than the top iPhone was five years ago? Let’s take the iPhone Pro series. If we’re looking at recycled and renewable materials, it’s an easy yes. Compare the iPhone 11 Pro, released in September 2019, with the iPhone 16 Pro, released in September 2024, and there has been good progress—from a few smaller components and packaging to now at more than 25 percent of the whole phone. There's work to do, of course, but that

The Rise of the US Military’s Clandestine Foreign War Apparatus

The 2020s are shaping up to be one of the most violent decades in modern history, with American-sponsored proxy conflicts and shadow wars smoldering all over the world, from Ukraine to Yemen to Gaza. The United States enables and prolongs these wars not by sending troops to fight in them, but by trafficking arms to the belligerents, providing intelligence to its favored proxies, and using covert operations, especially assassinations, to shape geopolitical conditions. At the forefront of these cl

Epic says Fortnite is coming back to iOS in Australia

Epic Games has announced that it’s bringing Fortnite back to iOS in Australia, after the country’s federal court ruled that Apple and Google’s app marketplaces are anticompetitive. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said on X that Fortnite will be made available on iPhones via the Epic Games Store “at a date to be determined,” while the company navigates the complexities of Australia’s antitrust ruling. Epic sued Google in Australia in March 2021, after suing Apple in November 2020. A single court is handlin
