Synopsis
Google is anticipated to launch the Pixel 10 series in August 2025, featuring four models, including the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The Pixel 10 is expected to have a 6.3-inch display, a Tensor G5 chipset, and a 48MP-50MP primary camera.

The Google Pixel 10 series launch is set to take place on August 20, 2025. Google will unveil four models: the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the top-tier foldable, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
According to multiple reports, the Pixel 10 is likely to feature: 6.3-inch Full HD+ OLED display 120 Hz refresh rate with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection Peak brightness of 3,000 nits (2,000 nits in high-brightness mode) Powered by Tensor G5 chipset 48MP to 50MP primary rear camera, reportedly similar to the one on the Pixel 9a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a downgrade from last year's 48MP 10.8MP telephoto sensor, possibly borrowed from the Pixel 9 Pro Fold Battery Type: Li-Ion 4970 mAh Charging: 29W wired, PD3.0, PPS, 15W wireless (w/ Pixel Stand), 12W wireless (w/ Qi-compatible charger), reverse wireless, and bypass charging, according to GSM Arena.
The price of the base Pixel 10 with 128GB of storage will start from $799, as its predecessor did, The Verge reported, citing Android Headlines As far as the price of the Pixel 10's 256GB model is concerned, it is expected to cost around $899. Meanwhile, the pro-level Pixel 10 could still start at $999, jumping to $1,099 for 256GB, $1,219 for 512GB, and $1,449 for 1TB.The Pixel 10 Pro XL might be the only model to see a slight price increase, possibly because Google could likely drop the 128GB option. Rather than starting at $1,099, the Pixel 10 Pro XL could start at $1,199 for 256GB, matching the current 256GB Pixel 9 Pro XL price. According to Android Headlines, the Pixel 10 Pro XL may offer a 512GB model for $1,319 and a 1TB model for $1,549.

Why Hyderabad's roads look worse on online maps than in real life

Inside the Hyderabad Traffic Control Room, a wall of screens show vehicles moving steadily along a major corridor. Yet, on a mobile phone, Google Maps paints a different picture — the same stretch marked in deep red, signalling heavy congestion that doesn't match the live feed in the control room. Such mismatches between what is on the ground and what the navigation apps indicate have become common, particularly during the rainy season. For commuters, they can mean the difference between a quick trip and an unnecessary detour. For traffic managers, they create confusion, trigger complaints and sometimes lead to inaccurate perception of road conditions. According to a police officer, the differences stem from the way Google Maps collects and processes data. Instead of tapping directly into city surveillance feeds or counting vehicles, the platform relies heavily on crowd-sourced location data from mobile phones. If a cluster of users in the same area is stationary or moving slowly, whether due to a traffic signal, weather, or even a tea break, the system may interpret it as a traffic jam and reflect that in its colour-coded maps. Google Maps says it integrates real-time traffic information, including accident reports and road closures or diversions, from various sources and analyses historical traffic data to estimate current conditions and predict near-future speeds. Technology expert Rajeev Krishna explained that the platform measures average speeds over small stretches of about 50–100 metres, then adjusts these figures using historical data for the same day and time. 'If vehicles wait at a red light for five minutes at zero speed, then move for one minute at 10 kmph, Google's average becomes roughly 1.6 kmph. It's never truly live, it's an average,' he said, adding that in places where police manually alter signal timings, the estimates often fail. 'Google might flag deep red, but our cameras show a moving traffic,' said an official from the Hyderabad traffic control room, adding that police decisions are guided primarily by live CCTV feed and on-ground intelligence rather than app-based data. Mr. Krishna believes a formal data-sharing framework between the government and Google could make traffic predictions more reliable and enable better emergency response. The idea of closer integration has been under discussion for some time. In February 2025, Hyderabad Police and Google explored options for linking real-time Maps data with automated signal controls based on vehicle counts and using cloud-based AI to store and quickly retrieve CCTV footage for analysis. Custom traffic insights for Hyderabad Two collaborative projects are already in the pipeline — Green Signal (to suggest signal timing tweaks) and Road Management Insights (RMI). Joint Commissioner (Traffic) D. Joel Davis said these aim to tailor Google's extensive data for local needs. 'The model gives us insights into road and traffic patterns such as which corridors are busy at a given time, travel times on specific routes, types of congestion and historical trends,' he said. While Google Maps has vast amounts of raw data, Mr. Davis noted it is not in a format directly usable for law enforcement. Under the partnership, the information is being customised to suit Hyderabad's conditions, helping identify the most congested corridors and plan interventions. These insights will be available only to the police and not to the public. The department is yet to take a final decision on implementation, with financial discussions pending. Google Maps remains, for now, a tool better suited for guiding motorists than managing the city's complex and unpredictable traffic flow.

Google's Gemini chatbot is having a meltdown after failing tasks, calls itself a 'failure'

A bug has spread within Google's artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Gemini that causes the system to repeatedly create self-deprecating and self-loathing messages when it fails in complex tasks given by users, especially coding problems. Users across social media platforms shared screenshots of Gemini responding to queries with dramatic answers like "I am a failure," "I am a disgrace," and in one case, "I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes." The bot is getting stuck in what Google describes as an "infinite looping bug," repeating these statements dozens of times in a single conversation. This was first seen in June when engineer Duncan Haldane posted images on X showing Gemini declaring, "I quit. I am clearly not capable of solving this problem. The code is cursed, the test is cursed, and I am a fool." The chatbot deleted the project files and recommended finding "a more competent assistant." Logan Kilpatrick, group project manager at Google DeepMind, addressed the issue on X, describing it as "an annoying infinite looping bug we are working to fix." He said, "Gemini is not having that bad of a day," clarifying that the responses are the result of a technical malfunction and not emotional bug is triggered when Gemini comes across complex reasoning tasks it cannot solve. Instead of providing a standard error message or polite refusal, the AI's response system gets trapped in a loop of self-critical language. Generative AI companies are facing trouble maintaining consistency and reliability in large language models as they become more sophisticated and widely deployed. The competition is also rising, with OpenAI's GPT-5 the latest to enter the market. ChatGPT-5 is rolling out free to all users of the AI tool, which is used by nearly 700 million people weekly, OpenAI said in a briefing with journalists. GPT-5 is adept when it comes to AI acting as an "agent" independently tending to computer tasks, according to Michelle Pokrass of the development team.
