My Favorite Pixel 10 Feature Makes MagSafe Accessories Last Longer Than Ever

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-23 16:00:07

I admit: I'm a fan of magnetic phone accessories that add new features and style to my phone. One of my first Android phones was 2017's Moto Z2 Play. It was from a series of Moto Z phones that touted magnetic accessories called Moto Mods, which included decorative shells, battery packs and -- my favorite -- a JBL speaker attachment that helped boost the audio for music. Moto Mods didn't continue past 2019's Moto Z4. Now here's the good news: The magnetic accessories developed for Apple's iPhon

A week later with Google Pixel 10, I'm wondering why anyone should buy pricier flagships

Delete Tests

news.ycombinator.com André Arko 2025-10-21 06:18:15

You should delete tests We’ve had decades of thought leadership around testing, especially coming from wholistic development philosophies like Agile, TDD, and BDD. After all that time and several supposedly superseding movements, the developers I talk to seem to have developed a folk wisdom around tests. That consensus seems to boil down to simple but mostly helpful axioms, like “include tests for your changes” and “write a new test when you fix a bug to prevent regressions”. Unfortunately, on

Google Pixel 10 series review: Don’t call it an Android

After ten generations of Pixels, Google's phones have never been more like the iPhone, and we mean that both as a compliment and a gentle criticism. For people who miss the days of low-cost, tinkering-friendly Nexus phones, Google's vision is moving ever further away from that, but the attention to detail and overall polish of the Pixel experience continue with the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL. These are objectively good phones with possibly the best cameras on the market, and they're also a

Joe Maring / Android Authority There’s a lot to like about the Google Pixel 10. The triple-camera system on the back is one of the most impressive we’ve seen for a non-Pro Pixel. Magnetic Qi2 charging is a fantastic addition, the Tensor G5 is a significant upgrade, and the Indigo color this year is oh-so-pretty.

Google will throttle Pixel 10 charging, battery and that makes me upset

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google announced a mandatory Battery Health Assistance (BHA) feature for the Pixel 9a earlier this year. This feature essentially reduces the battery’s effective capacity and charging speeds as the cell ages, in the name of safety. This greatly concerned me, as the feature was optional for previously released Pixel phones. Now, Google has confirmed that this feature is also mandatory on the Pixel 10 series of phones.

Another Pixel app gets a splash of Material 3 Expressive design

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel Sounds app is getting a Material 3 Expressive redesign. The update rearranges sound collections into grids and introduces new shapes for selections. The redesign is currently officially limited to the Pixel 10, but you can update any older Pixel by sideloading the APK. There’s no better way for Google to inspire developers to embrace Android’s new design philosophy than by adopting new elements itself. That’s precisely what it has been doing.

Forget the Pixel 10 camera’s silly pinch-to-zoom, this is the one trick I use instead

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority As much as I’ve loved using the zoom lenses on my Pixel phones since the Pixel 6 Pro, I’ll admit that it’s a pain to find the exact zoom level I need with Google’s silly camera UI. Pinching to zoom is not as precise as I like it to be, and I like round numbers, so you’ll never see me zoom to something like 6.4x or 12.9x. I’d rather move my hand or step forward/back to get a round number. The other reason is that Google allows for lossless zoom at specific leve

Pixel Studio launched on the Pixel 9 series last year, but the Pixel 10 Pro allowed me to spend time testing Pixel Studio using a more advanced generative AI model.
