Google’s new Pixel 10 promo videos dial the weirdness up to 11

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-22 11:22:24

TL;DR Google has published new promo videos for the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro. The Pixel 10 clip is classic Google, criticizing Apple fans for their “vanilla” choices. The Pixel 10 Pro spot, on the other hand, is far more ethereal, and is more about making an impression. Google does a lot of things very, very well, but you don’t have to be an iPhone fanboy to recognize that Apple is just running circles around the company when it comes to promotional efforts.

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-10-22 15:00:37

Apple’s new iPhone Air has been in users’ hands for several days, and even longer with reviewers. And so far, there’s been a surprisingly positive consensus on two key areas expected to be weaknesses for iPhone Air: durability and battery life. iPhone Air’s durability and battery life have impressed I’ve been using my iPhone Air since early Friday morning, and so far am loving it. But despite reports of high demand for the base iPhone 17 and 17 Pro line, sales for the iPhone Air don’t seem to

Is this rugged Android phone with a 22,000mAh legit? My verdict after a week of stress tests

I was ready to channel my inner photographer with the nicer cameras, not worry too much about charging it every night, thanks to better battery life and -- very exciting to me -- to have a phone in a new Barbie pink color.

Next to the flashy redesign of the iPhone 17 Pro and the ultrathin, ultralight iPhone Air, the iPhone 17 may feel quite plain. But I'm here to tell you that I don't think there has ever been a better base model in the annual iPhone lineup.
