Google Pixel 10 series rumors: Everything we know so far

The Google Pixel 9 series features a slightly revamped design, three different Pro models, a stronger emphasis on AI, and plenty of other changes. It also represents one of the biggest deviations from the Pixel formula that we’ve seen in years. Despite several notable changes, the Pixel 9 still retains several of the most criticized aspects of the Pixel series, including limited storage options and a less competitive SoC compared to other phones. With all of this in mind, what can we expect fro

Pixel Watch 4 might bulk up its fitness features to help you get ripped

TL;DR A new leak suggests the Pixel Watch 4 will add a dedicated strength training experience. Users may get custom interval workouts, real-time guidance, and advanced post-workout metrics. The report also mentions improved run tracking, swim and cycling features, and dual-band GPS. If you’re the kind of person who hits the gym more than the track, the upcoming Google Pixel Watch 4 may finally have something tailored specifically to your needs. According to a new report from Android Headline

Pixel Watch 4 pricing leak could mean good news for those fearing a hike

TL;DR A new Pixel Watch 4 leak has revealed that the pricing may remain unchanged from the Pixel Watch 3 in Europe. Unless there are any tariff impacts, this suggests US prices may also remain flat, starting at $349. With the upgrades to the specs of the Google wearable looking modest, it would be logical that there would be little to no price hike. It’s not too long now until we meet the Pixel Watch 4. While we’ve managed to get some insight into the specs and colors of the next Google weara

We Consulted Fitness Experts to Learn the Truth About Vibration Plates for Weight Loss

Step aside mom jeans, scrunchies and denim on denim, there's another trend making a comeback. Vibration plates are trending once again. Similar to the mid-20th-century vibrating belt machines, vibration plates have been said to provide the body with various benefits and can even be a tool for weight loss.

5 reasons I won’t spend more than $500 on my next phone

Joe Maring / Android Authority The phones we all like to talk about the most are incredibly expensive. The base Galaxy S25 starts at $800, while the Ultra launched at $1,300. The Pixel 9 goes for $800 as well, and you’ll need at least $1,100 for the XL model. That’s a lot of money. And don’t even get me started on foldables. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold goes for $1,800, while the latest Galaxy Z Fold 7 costs even more at $2,000. I love technology, especially phones, but I’m not paying that much for m

I ditched my $1,000 Android phone for Google’s $500 one, and I barely noticed a difference

Joe Maring / Android Authority In the world of writing about Android phones on the internet, it’s very easy to focus solely on the big flagships — the Google Pixel 9 Pros, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultras, and OnePlus 13s of the world. Those are the phones with the best and flashiest specs, and they’re often the most fun to talk about. But equally important, if not more so, are more affordable handsets. Expensive flagships may be exciting, but they aren’t the phones that everyone is buying. After us

The Morning After: The next Google Pixel event kicks off on August 20

What can you expect from Google’s Made By Pixel event? Well, according to the media invite we got (brag), it’s promising new Pixel phones, watches, buds and more. Last year, that was true. The same event gave us the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Buds Pro 2. I think that was everything? As for that “and more” part, recent rumors suggest Google is working on Pixelsnap, a proper response to Apple’s MagSafe tech. Android phones have been slow to ad

The Pixel Watch 4 might not become e-waste if you damage it

Google is hosting its annual Pixel event on August 20, which will likely feature the Pixel 10 series and the Pixel Watch 4. The new Pixel phones are expected to retain the physical design of last year's phones, but a new report claims Google's smartwatch is getting an important hardware upgrade—it may finally be repairable. Google has stuck with the same design for all three generations of the Pixel Watch, making changes only to internal components, displays, and charging. Even with the year-to

Pixel Watch 4 upgrades could include a repair-friendly design and new emergency tools

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR With the Pixel Watch 4, Google may finally introduce a new construction that’s more conducive to hardware repairs. A new Breathing Emergencies tool could detect with your oxygen levels fall too low. Google may also bring satellite support to the Pixel Watch 4 for communication during emergencies.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Specs vs. Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold: How Each Fold Phone Compares

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 debuted the biggest redesign the book-style folding phone line has seen thus far. The new phone has a body that's slim enough to feel like a standard phone when closed and unfolds to reveal an 8-inch display. This reimagining also comes at a higher $2,000 price, making it easily the priciest phone of its category compared with similar offerings like Google's $1,799 Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Zuckerberg and Meta investors reach settlement in $8B privacy case

In Brief Mark Zuckerberg and other current and former Meta executives have settled a lawsuit filed by a group of shareholders.

It’s too late for a Google Pixel flip phone

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Just think about it: A Google Pixel Flip. Honestly, it sounds like my dream phone. It’d combine my favorite form factor with my favorite Android skin, and I’d never need to recommend anything else again. I’d have Google’s top-notch image processing to balance out the often-limited flip phone cameras, years of updates to look forward to, and a cover screen experience that only needs a proper app drawer to leap ahead of Samsung’s Flex Window. And yet, I can’t s

Why Google’s August 20 event could make or break its Pixel lineup

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Pixel fans, our time has almost come. Yesterday, Google confirmed that its next Made by Google event is scheduled for August 20, and it’s on this date that we’ll see Google’s latest batch of Pixel hardware. Although Google hasn’t officially said what it’s announcing, we have a good idea of what to expect.

I Usually Find Android Phones Too Complicated, but the Pixel 9 Pro Is Different

CNET's key takeaways I've been using Google's Pixel 9 Pro for months. I like its solid overall performance and quirky new AI skills. The element that stands out most is how easy it is to use. Android phones often get a bad rap for being overly convoluted. And to be fair, that's often well justified. Samsung's Galaxy S25 range, for example, has deep menu systems for messing about with nearly every aspect of the phone, along with features like the Edge Panel sidebar and a variety of Samsung's

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google has set an August 20 date for its next Made by Google event. The company intends to “share the latest on our Pixel phones, watches, buds, and more.” In addition to the Pixel 10 series, we could see the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a make their debut.

Google will host its next Made by Google event on August 20, the company announced today. In a media invite, it promised the event would feature new Pixel phones, watches, buds "and more."

It's easy to make that deduction, especially going by pre

Mark Your Calendar: New Google Pixel Phones Are Coming on August 20

Buckle up! Google is throwing a party next month. Samsung announced its new Galaxy Z Fold 7 (check out my review here), the Z Flip 7, and the Galaxy Watch 8 and 8 Classic last week, and Google is going next before Apple will likely do its annual iPhone and Apple Watch event in September. Google has just announced an event for August 20, where it will “introduce the latest addition to our Pixel portfolio of devices.” Whatever could Google be hinting at?
