Pixel 10 Pro renders bring a hint of color to an otherwise conservative palette

TL;DR A new leak may give us our first look at the colorways of the Pixel 10 Pro. The colorways are said to include Moonstone, Jade, Porcelain, and Obsidian. The colors are a little more muted compared to the leaked colors for the Pixel 10. The Pixel 10 series is set to launch in about a month, but Google has already started providing teasers. The company shared a short video clip of one of the Pro models on the Google Store, revealing what looked to be a new steely gray color. If you’re wond

After sharing the first official leaked renders of the Pixel 10 yesterday, today Android Headlines has shared images of the 10 Pro too. It looks almost identical to the base model, but will apparently launch in a more muted set of colors. Android Headlines reports that the black and white finishes are the familiar “Obsidian” and “Porcelain” that Google has used before. The g

Forget the Pixel 10 Pro. Here’s why the base Pixel 10 could be the best Pixel to buy this year

With less than a month to go before Google’s big Pixel 10 event, the time for new Google phones is almost upon us. And with four new models expected, it’ll soon be time to choose which new Pixel is right for you. The Pixel 10 Pro is shaping up to be a solid compact flagship, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL should be an excellent choice for folks who want a bigger handset. And if it’s a foldable you’re after, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a lot going for it, too. But after the latest Pixel 10 leak, I’m sta

The Morning After: This is the Pixel 10 (or maybe the Pixel 10 Pro)

While I wasn’t expecting a major design shakeup, Google revealed the design of its new Pixel phone, almost a month before the official launch event. You can take a look for yourself on the front page of the Google Store. A short video teaser reveals one of the upcoming Pixel 10 smartphones. The device bears a similar appearance to the Pixel 9, with a back design that makes the camera unit protrude from the frame, similar to the Pixel 9 Pro. Oh, and an additional camera — if this is the base Pix

Best Samsung Phone of 2025

If your family and friends are on Apple services like iMessage and FaceTime, stick with an iPhone. If you’ve been deep on Samsung, stay on Android. Know that switching between the two has never been easier. Phone makers promise varying lengths of long-term software and security support ranging from just one year to as many as seven. These updates not only ensure you get many of the latest features but also keep your phone secure. Phone cameras have gotten better over the past five years. Don’t

Google Says ‘Screw It’ and Shows Us the Whole Pixel 10

There are a lot of ways to deal with gadget leaks. If you’re Apple, maybe a lawsuit is your style, but not everyone is as litigious, and that’s okay.

Google Teases Pixel 10 Ahead of August Reveal

Google has lifted the curtains on the Pixel 10, its flagship phone for 2025, via a short clip posted on the Google Store homepage on Monday. The Pixel 10 will likely be fully revealed at a Made by Google event in New York on Aug. 20. The teaser video simply shows the back of the device with the Pixel's prominent oval-shaped camera bar, along with a flash and sensor of some sort. It follows a similar design to past Pixels, but whereas the Pixels 6, 7 and 8 all had camera bars that ran edge-to-ed

Google just forced some Pixel 4a holdouts to finally install their battery-nerfing update

David Imel / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s been dealing with the fallout of bad batteries on the Pixel 4a and Pixel 6a. So far, that’s involved updates that limit charging capacity after a certain number of cycles. While there was a trick to avoid that update on the Pixel 4a, Google seems to have closed the loophole. This year, Google has found itself forced to confront and deal with an awkward problem that’s been casting a shadow across its otherwise largely well-received Pixel smartphon

Google shows off the Pixel 10 less than a month before its launch

As is tradition, Google has already shown off at least one of its new Pixel phones before it's announced. The front page of the Google Store currently features a short video teasing one of the Pixel 10 smartphones the company is announcing on August 20. If you take the webpage literally, then Google's video is showing off the base Pixel 10, which has a similar look to the Pixel 9, with some key differences. Those include a new grayish-blue finish, a tweaked back design that makes the back of th

It appears that Google will be adding a third back camera to the base Pixel 10 this year, based on what Android Headlines reports are official renders of the rumored phone. The third camera will be a telephoto camera, Android Headlines says, with the other two cameras being a primary sensor and an ultrawide.

5 Android phones you should buy instead of the Galaxy Z Fold 7

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 doesn’t officially hit store shelves until later this month, but it’s already established itself as one of the most exciting foldable releases of the year. With its impressively thin and light design, larger screens, and better cameras, the Z Fold 7 makes a strong argument for being the folding phone to buy in 2025. Although the US isn’t teeming with foldable handsets the way other markets are, there are still options to choose fro

TL;DR The colors for the vanilla Pixel 10 have leaked. The colorways are said to be Obsidian, Indigo, Frost, and Limoncello. Notably, the frequently used Porcelain colorway is missing. Google has used quite a few interesting colors for the Pixel line since its inception. We even recently voted on what we think are the best of the bunch. As we draw closer to the eventual launch of the Pixel 10, we’re preparing to see what colors the next generation will sport. If you don’t mind getting spoiled

I still prefer my Google Pixel 9 Pro over the expensive flagships - and it's not even close

Adam Breeden/ZDNET Last year, I was emphatic that my time with Pixel phones was over because Google had announced it was planning to inject even more AI "goodness" into Android. I saw that as an opportunity to jump ship. My goal was to buy the Nothing Phone 3. Then, as fate would have it, Nothing CEO Carl Pei announced that his company was going all-in on AI, and the next Nothing Phone would leverage the technology in ways no other device had. Foiled again. Also: This hidden Pixel camera set

The best colors we’ve seen on Google Pixel phones

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Google will finally launch the Pixel 10 series next month, and leakers have apparently already revealed all the colors. These shades include Obsidian and Porcelain, with Lemongrass and Indigo adding a much-needed splash of color. So we thought now would be a good time to choose our favorite Google Pixel phone colors ever. I asked the Android Authority team to choose their favorite shades, tallied their choices, and created this list. Do note that we excluded the

After six years, it’s finally time for me to switch back to a Pixel

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority In my five years working as an Android journalist, I’ve been known as the Samsung guy. That’s been an accurate description, but it may surprise you to learn that I used to be a Nexus/Pixel fanatic, using every Google flagship from the Nexus 6 to the Pixel 3XL. That changed toward the start of 2019, when I became tired of how unreliable Pixels were for me in a few areas and started to use Samsung phones exclusively. Recently, I got to spend a month with the Pi

When to make LODs: Understanding model costs

When to make LODs Jason Booth 3 min read · Dec 26, 2021 -- Listen Share Understanding model costs I’m always amazed at how often I hear people talk about “poly counts” in modern rendering, as if that’s even a thing. But lore has a way of sticking around forever, far past its point of being useful. And quite frankly, I’m constantly seeing artwork created in substandard ways because of this lore. First, the cost of rendering something doesn’t really have much relation to how many polygons it ha

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

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.

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
