Pixel 10’s Camera Coach helps you get better at taking photos

TL;DR The newly announced Google Pixel 10 phones offer a Camera Coach feature. This uses on-device AI to analyze your scene and make step-by-step shooting suggestions. The feature can suggest you try different angles and framing, ask the subject to look at the camera, and more. Google has just announced the Pixel 10 series of phones, and there are plenty of features worth knowing. However, one of the most intriguing camera-related additions is a so-called Camera Coach feature. Camera Coach i

Google's Pixel 10 'Camera Coach' uses AI to help you take the best photos

With the arrival of the Pixel 10, the spotlight is on the cameras that Google's phones are known for. Compared to the Pixel 9's dramatic camera bump, however, this year's improvements are mainly iterative. The base model got the biggest hardware update with the addition of a third camera. Otherwise, Google focused mainly on AI processing this time, particularly with a new feature designed to help users improve their photos and a Gemini AI addition that lets you edit photos using only your voice.

I Took Hundreds of Photos With the Pixel 10 Pro XL in Paris. These Are My Favs

The phone's hardware hasn't changed much from last year, with a 50-megapixel main camera, a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 48-megapixel telephoto camera offering 5x optical zoom. With the new processor and a host of software improvements, Google says it's made its best camera phone yet. To test the company's boasts, I headed out onto the streets. I was testing the Pixel 10 Pro XL, which has an identical camera setup to the base Pixel 10 Pro. Note, too, that to reduce file sizes for displa

I Tested Google's Pixel 10 Pro XL in Paris, and I'm Impressed

At The Verge, we like to ask “What is a photo?” when we’re trying to sort out real and unreal images — especially those taken with phone cameras.

Improvements to OCaml code editing: the basics of a refactor engine

Refactoring features have contributed to the popularity of editors like IntelliJ, as well as certain programming languages whose editor support offers interactive mechanisms to manage code — Gleam being an excellent example. Even though OCaml has some features related to refactoring (such as renaming occurrences, substituting typed holes with expressions, and case analysis for pattern matching), the goal of my internship was to kickstart work on a robust set of features to enable the smooth inte

The White House just joined TikTok

While it was President Joe Biden who signed the law that would force ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok or face a ban, it’s his successor, Donald Trump, who has yet to fulfill his promise of arranging a deal to keep TikTok running, legally, in the United States. The current deadline for a deal is September 17th. Still, it hasn’t stopped Trump’s administration from creating @WhiteHouse on TikTok, which published its first post on Tuesday night: a video celebrating Trump’s accomplishments. The

Is the Camera Control button one of the biggest iPhone flops? [Poll]

A random report from an account with zero track-record for anything claims that the iPhone 18 will drop the Camera Control button as too few people are using it. The claim is entirely meaningless, but I strongly suspect that it’s right in one respect: that hardly anyone is using the feature … The Camera Control button was introduced in the two iPhone 16 Pro models a little under a year ago, and Apple made a pretty big deal of it at the time. A hardware control was something I’d wished for pri

Before you roll your eyes at the Gen Alpha in your life for using made-up words, you might want to check the latest update to the dictionary.

XenoRAT malware campaign hits multiple embassies in South Korea

A state-sponsored espionage campaign is targeting foreign embassies in South Korea to deploy XenoRAT malware from malicious GitHub repositories. According to Trellix researchers, the campaign has been running since March and is ongoing, having launched at least 19 spearphishing attacks against high-value targets. Although infrastructure and techniques match the pllaybook of North Korean actor Kimsuky (APT43), there are signs that better match China-based operatives, the researchers say. Multi

Image Fulgurator (2011)

The flash projects the image on the slide through the lens and onto the object. This action is triggered by a built-in sensor that recognises flashes from nearby cameras. That way, the projection can automatically be synchronised with the moment of exposure of any nearby camera using a flash. The Image Fulgurator is housed in a regular single reflex camera case since most of the camera’s elements were re-used for the construction of the Image Fulgurator. This makes it possible to unnoticeab

Think twice about using numbers supplied by Google’s AI Overviews

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s AI Overviews have been sharing the wrong customer support numbers in some of its summaries. This has resulted in certain users contacting scammers instead of the company they were searching for. Google is reportedly aware of the issue. Most AI tools have disclaimers that some of the information they provide might not be factual. But this hasn’t stopped companies from rolling out chatbots to more apps and search engines, leading to many instance

The weirdest tool I own is also one of the most useful (and it's $10 on Amazon)

The device has a 1080p HD camera with LED lights at the tip. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET I have a number of inspection cameras, and they're fantastic for getting eyes into places that you normally can't get to. But they're typically large and bulky, designed for mechanics and HVAC engineers, which limits their usability when it comes to inspecting device ports or probing around cracks and crevices looking for a lost fastener. Also: I replaced my MacBook charger with this compact wall unit - a

The Nothing Phone 3 is a fun, flawed, but overall worthy semi-flagship

Nothing Phone 3 The Nothing Phone 3 tries to be an Android flagship while skipping out on just a few key areas like the chipset and top-end materials. But, with new perks like faster wired charging, improved cameras, and official US carrier support, as well as that signature hardware and software design flair, this is the easiest Nothing Phone to recommend to date. What even is a flagship Android phone these days? Sometimes, I think I know. Other times, I have to shrug and wonder. And yet, not

iPhone 17 Rumors: Everything to Know, From Redesigned Cameras to an Upgraded Display

Key takeaways: The iPhone 17 could feature a redesigned camera bump, though it may not be as drastic a difference as the Pro models. A higher refresh rate could be coming to the full lineup, potentially enabling the baseline iPhone to have an always-on display. Prices remain uncertain with tariffs, but they'll likely go up, given it's been years since Apple raised the price of the iPhone. The anticipated reveal of Apple's newest iPhone is just weeks away. Rumors have been swirling about what

Camp Snap CS-8 Review: Simple Video Capture

The Camp Snap CS-8 doesn’t care about frame rates, bit rates, or whether your footage is stabilized to unerring levels of steadiness. It doesn’t want to replace your iPhone or compete with your mirrorless camera setup. What it offers instead is something far simpler and more deliberate: the feeling of shooting video for the sake of it. Much like Camp Snap’s point-and-shoot still camera from 2023 (the company’s only other major product), it’s a throwback to when cameras didn’t think for you and

iPhone 17 vs. 17 Air, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max: All the Rumored Specs Compared

Normally, we wait until phones are released to compare them, but Apple's next iPhone models are so eagerly awaited that we'll make an exception. We're basing our comparisons on the most credible rumors of what's coming in the iPhone 17 series, including a potential superthin iPhone 17 Air, to give readers an early sense of how the new series of phones may look. Last year's iPhone 16 series added a handful of upgrades on its predecessors, most notably the new Camera Control key. While the basic

Need a New iPhone or Android Phone? Keep This in Mind Before You Buy

The iPhone 16 Pro, Google Pixel 9 Pro and Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra, share many things, from their amazing performance to their incredible camera setups. Throw in their huge, vibrant displays and the host of funky new AI skills and it's no surprise that these flagship phones are all among the best phones you can buy in 2025. It's also no surprise that these fan-favorite phones have something else in common, too: massive prices tags. Costing $1,000 and more, today's best phones are out of reach

Apple TV+ releases the first 'Peanuts' musical in 37 years

Apple is making good on its promise to release new Peanuts content with today's premiere of Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical. It's the first Peanuts musical in 37 years, with the last one, Snoopy: The Musical, debuting way back 1988.

The 40-minute special directed by Erik Wiese is centered around Charlie Brown's

HORI's Piranha Plant camera for Switch 2 drops to $40

The HORI Piranha Plant camera for the Nintendo Switch 2 is on sale for just $40, which is a discount of $20 and a record-low price. This is a great deal for those who own a Switch 2 and want to take advantage of the camera functionality in games like Mario Kart World and that recently-released campfire sim. This was designed specifically for Nintendo's new console, so it's a plug-and-play affair. It's actually cheaper than the official Switch 2 camera with this sale and it looks a whole lot coo

I wanted to love Sony’s Xperia 1 VII, but its outdated priorities made that impossible

Sony Xperia 1 VII The Sony Xperia 1 VII packs some of the most powerful photo and video features on the market into a robust build that finally sees a long-term update pledge to match. Sadly, the camera quality doesn't always live up to the promise, and it struggles to stand out on any other merits. It'll delight a niche audience, but it's far too average for such a high asking price for everyone else. It’s been a little while since a Sony phone passed my desk, so I was chomping at the bit to g

Thank You Apple for Fixing the Camera Navigation in the Latest iOS 26 Beta

Apple released the third public beta of iOS 26 on Aug. 14. It brought new features, including Liquid Glass design and call screening, to developers' and beta testers' iPhones. Thankfully, it also reverted the way you switch between photo modes in your Camera app. With Apple's redesign of the Camera app in the iOS 26 beta, the company had initially inverted the way you navigate between camera modes. So, after years of swiping in one direction to get to a photo mode, imagine my surprise when I sw
