Kerry Wan/ZDNET There's been no shortage of Pixel 10 leaks leading up to its expected August launch event -- even Google has taken part in it. While early renders and marketing imagery point to a family of phones that look nearly identical (if not the same) as the last generation, the biggest feature upgrade with the Pixel 10 series may actually be hidden in plain sight.

Matrix Is Not Safe for EU Data Privacy

Matrix has long been promoted as the future of secure, decentralized communication. Backed by an open protocol, a vibrant developer community, and bridges to legacy systems, it promises interoperability and freedom from vendor lock-in. But when viewed through the lens of EU data privacy law, Matrix, and its commercial champion, Element, poses significant and underappreciated risks. For public-sector organizations, critical infrastructure, and privacy-conscious enterprises in the EU, the questio

The Google Pixel 10 series is just a few weeks away, and I’m keenly waiting to see what these new phones offer. One of the most intriguing and persistent rumors is that the base model will have a telephoto camera, but what about the Pro phones? It sounds like Google could maintain the same 48MP 5x cameras seen on the Pixel 9 Pro series. However, a trove of marketing material shared by veteran leaker Evan Blass has revealed that the Pixel 10 Pro phones could get 100x zoom. I’m not convinced that

Yesterday, Android Authority published an exclusive report detailing what Samsung’s Galaxy S26 lineup could look like next year. And based on what we know, Samsung could be releasing one of the biggest Galaxy S shakeups we’ve ever seen.

Sometimes, picking a pair of headphones feels like an impossible choice. There are lots to choose from, and the barrier to entry is enough to send haptic chills down one’s spine. If there’s one thing that most can agree on, it’s that Apple’s AirPods Max are probably the standard for people considering headphones in the U.S., especially if you already own an iPhone.

Asus Chromebook CX14 Review: What You Get for $429
