Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold specs leak in full — here's what to expect
The specs come from Android Headlines, who have fast developed a reputation for accurate Pixel leaks. While there's no guarantee these specs are totally accurate, it could give us an idea of what to expect from Google's upcoming foldable.
The site claims that the 10 Pro Fold will be increasing the size of the cover display from 6.3-inches to 6.4-inches. However this is apparently down to Google slimming down the size of the bezel and hinge, rather than actually making the phone bigger. That cover screen will also reportedly jump to 3,000 nits of brightness. That's roughly 10% more than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and the same as the Super Actua Display on Pixel 9 Pro.
The camera will apparently be staying mostly the same. So expect a 10 Pro Fold to come with a 48MP main camera, 10.5MP ultrawide and a 10.8MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom. The selfie cameras are reportedly sticking at 10MP on both internal and external screens.

The battery will apparently grow to 5,015 mAh, a 7% increase, with charging speeds set to jump to 23W wired and 15W Qi2 wireless charging speeds. Naturally the whole thing will be powered by the 3nm Tensor G5 chipset. Top that off with 16GB of RAM, and a choice of 265GB, 512GB or 1TB storage options.
It's also claimed that the 10 Pro Fold will come with an IP68 water and dust resistance rating — the first foldable to do so. While we're no stranger to foldables with high water resistance, like the IP48 Galaxy Z Fold 7, foldables typically fall short of their non-folding counterparts in keeping out dust. Apparently Google is going to change that with the highest dust resistance rating currently available.
We're closing in on the Pixel 10 launch event now, with rumors suggesting the new phones could launch on August 20. Nothing has been confirmed by Google just yet, but since that date is just over 5 weeks away it's likely we'll find out for sure in the next couple of weeks.

Voice cloning, celebrity impersonations and the need for safeguarding — Hume's CEO sounds off on the world of AI voice generation
On a Wednesday afternoon, I'm sitting on a video call listening to Ricky Gervais tell me a joke about voice cloning. Then, Audrey Heburn follows up to tell me her opinions on artificial intelligence. Unsurprisingly, neither of these people were actually on the call. Instead, it's Hume's CEO and chief scientist, Dr Alan Cowen, on the other side. He's showing off the latest update to his company's AI voice creation service EVI 3. Given just 30 seconds of audio, the tool can create a near-perfect replica of someone's voice. Not just their tone or accent, this new feature captures and replicates mannerisms and personality, too. Ricky Gervais telling me jokes about voice cloning features has his same dry wit and sarcastic tone. And Audrey Heburn is wistful and intrigued, while talking in a softer British accent of the time. But it's not just celebrities. This tool can take and replicate any voice in the world, all from just one small audio clip. Obviously, a tool like this has the benefit of changing the world, both for the better and the worse. Cowen sat down with Tom's Guide to explain this new tool, his background, and why his team wants to revolutionize the world of AI voice cloning. Hume operates in an area of AI that oddly doesn't come up as much. They are a voice generation software, making the claim of being 'the world's most realistic voice AI'. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. I think this is the fastest evolving part of the AI space. There are competitors from OpenAI and Google, but what we've done with Evi 3 is take the technology to the next step. It has come a long way over the years, now offering text-to-speech with a range of preset voices, as well as the ability to design a voice from a description. Now, with this latest update, the company can also clone any and all voices. 'I think this is the fastest evolving part of the AI space. There are competitors from OpenAI and Google, but what we've done with Evi 3 is take the technology to the next step,' Cowen explained on the call. 'Previous models have relied on mimicking specific people. Then you need loads of data to fine-tune for each person. This model instead replicates exactly what a person sounds like, including their emotions and personality.' This is achieved by using Hume's large backlog of voice data and reinforcement learning so that they don't have to mimic specific people. Give the model a 30-second clip, and it can recreate it from scratch. This allows the model to learn your specific inflections, accent and personality, while training it against a huge backlog of voice data to fill in the gaps. Of course, a model like this works best when given a good representation. A muffled clip of you talking in a monotone voice won't match your personality much. However, it currently only works for English and Spanish, with plans for more languages in the future. If, like me, your first thought at hearing all of this is concern, then surprisingly you have something in common with Cowen. 'I think this could be very misused. Early on at Hume, we were so concerned about these risks that we decided not to pursue voice cloning. But we've changed our mind because there are so many people with legitimate use cases for voice cloning that have approached us,' Cowen explained. 'The legitimate use cases include things like live translation, dubbing, making content more accessible, being able to replicate your own voice for scripts, or even celebrities who want to reach fans.' While these use cases do exist, there are just as many negative ones out there as well. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently warned of the risks of AI voice cloning and its ability to be used in scams and bank voice activations. This technology, paired with video and image generation could be the push deepfakes have needed for a while to become truly problematic. Cowen explained that he was aware of these concerns and claimed that Hume was approaching it as best as they could. 'We are releasing a lot of safeguards with this technology. We analyze every conversation ,and we're still improving in this regard. But we can score how likely it is that something is being misused on a variety of dimensions. Whether somebody is being scammed or impersonated without permission,' Cowen said. 'We can obviously shut off access when people aren't using it correctly. In our terms, you have to comply with a bunch of ethical guidelines that we introduced alongside the Hume Initiative. These concerns have been on our mind since we started, and as we continue to unroll these technologies, we are improving our safeguarding too.' The Hume Initiative is a project set up by the Hume company. It's ethos is that modern technology should, above all, serve our emotional well-being. That is somewhat vague, but the Initiative lists out six principles for empathetic technologies: Of course, while these are good guidelines to follow, they are subjective, and only beneficial when followed. Cowen assured me that these are beliefs that Hume stands by and that, when it comes to voice cloning, they are well aware of the risks. Early on at Hume, we were so concerned about these risks that we decided not to pursue voice cloning. But we've changed our mind because there are so many people with legitimate use cases for voice cloning that have approached us. 'We are at the forefront of this technology and we try to stay ahead of it. I think that there will be people that don't respect the guidelines of this kind of tool. I don't want people to walk away thinking there is no danger here, there is,' Cowen explained. 'People should be concerned about deepfakes on the phone, they should be wary of these types of scams, and it something that I think we need a cross-industry attempt to address.' Despite being aware of the risks, Cowen explained that he thought this was a technology that they had to build. 'The AI space moves so fast that I don't doubt that a bad actor in six months will have access to something like this technology. We need to be careful of that,' Cowen said. Cowen spent a lot of our chat focusing on guidelines and the legitimate concerns of this kind of technology. His background is in Psychology and strongly believes that this kind of technology will have more of a positive effect on people's wellbeing than negative. 'People have been really enjoying cloning their voices with our demo. We've had thousands of conversations already, which is remarkable. People are using it in a really fun way,' Cowen said, after discussing what he thinks people get wrong about this kind of technology. He strongly believes that it can be used for fun, to help build people's confidence and can even be used for training purposes or for voice acting needs in films as well as dubbing. Of course, just like with many other areas of AI, the positive benefits are competing with the negative. Being able to have a generic voice read a script is useful, but rather uneventful in risk. Being able to accurately recreate any voice in the world comes with a long list of concerns. For now, Cowen and his team are way ahead in this venture, and seem committed to the ethical side of the debate, but we remain early into the life of this kind of technology.

Facer is back on Wear OS 6, and worth the reinstall
Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority After going quiet for a while due to compatibility issues with Wear OS 5, Facer's finally back with full Wear OS 6 support, and it's a notable upgrade. The app supports Google's Watch Face Format (WFF), which means faces sync directly from the phone app to your watch, without extra installs or app juggling required. All-in-all, the revamped app experience brings some welcome usability improvements. Do you use Facer, Pujie, KWCH, WatchMaker, or other custom watch face apps? 2673 votes Yes, all the time. 41 % Sometimes, if I find a face that works for me. 24 % No, I don't like the faces on them. 17 % No, I'd never heard of them before. 18 % I tested the new Facer update on a Galaxy Watch Ultra, and right from setup, it's clear things have been smoothed out. Syncing faces is practically instant. Once I tapped on my pick, it immediately showed up on my watch. The friction-free process goes a long way toward making the app feel like a proper part of the platform instead of a third-party workaround. It also makes it dangerously tempting to save entirely more faces than necessary. The upgraded Facer app introduces a friction-free process of instant syncing between your watch and the app. Of course, Facer's massive face library is still the main draw. Whether you're into minimalist analog layouts or over-the-top animated options, there's something for everyone, and of course, plenty you won't like at all. I tend to gravitate away from the branded faces personally, but I was also the only child I knew who found SpongeBob incredibly irksome. If you're after a name-brand look, there are new licensed options for everything from Star Trek to Barbie, and the library at large is robust and rapidly growing. The big technical upgrade behind Facer's Wear OS 6 update is support for Google's Watch Face Format (WFF). WFF is the standard that lets watch faces run smoother, look sharper, and sync directly from your phone without extra hassle. It means more dynamic animations, cleaner complication data, and better power management options. With that said, WFF does come with some trade-offs. Designers have to work within Google's rules, which can limit customization compared to older formats. While it's a step toward a more consistent, reliable experience, it does mean less creative freedom, and some developers are discouraged by the parameters. Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority As a user, I've found plenty of designs I love, even if the library hasn't yet caught up with the previous breadth of offerings. WFF faces feel smoother, more responsive, and less taxing on the watch overall. Battery life is always a big concern with custom faces, and Facer addresses that with its new Power Impact label. This manifests as a simple lightning bolt gauge that shows up green on more efficient designs. I appreciate having that info up front, as power is always my top priority when setting up my smartwatch. To that end, I mostly stick to static or simpler faces during longer days, very occasionally swapping in animated ones when I'm going to be around the house (and my charging dock) and don't care as much about longevity. Facer even highlights a section of faces with optimized ambient modes, which helps stretch battery life when keeping the Always-On display active. The Power Impact label helps users sort watch faces based on how they affect battery life. One new addition to the app is the 'Looks' tab, which is Facer's take on a style feed. The tab lets you browse full setups that include a face, a strap, and styling notes. You can apply everything with one tap or shop the exact strap through the app. This feature has only rolled out to iOS users so far and is slated to arrive on Android phones in September. I'll be honest, I'm not usually one to dress my wrist like I do my outfit, but if you like to match straps to faces, the Facer watch band store makes that super easy. There are a bunch of material types available in a range of colors, all for under $20. Premium users also get further discounts. Speaking of Premium: Facer is still free to try, and there are some free designs I genuinely love, but a lot more faces are locked behind a paywall. If you anticipate only buying one or two, one-off purchases are straightforward. However, a premium subscription unlocks the full face catalog and gives you access to all the licensed designs. Right now, there's a launch promo of $14.99 for the first year (normally $39.99 annually), plus 50% off watch bands and some free face promo codes. I've been on the fence about paying for watch faces before, but with this kind of variety, I can see the value. You can also pay for Facer Plus to access an ad-free experience and a larger Watchbox for a one-time fee (right now $4.99). I will say, the ads on the app are pretty obnoxious, so the ad-free experience alone is tempting. Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority After a few days of rotating through designs, testing out 'Looks,' and keeping an eye on battery life, the update makes a solid case for giving Facer your time and potentially your money. The app's comeback on Wear OS 6 feels more consistent and reliable. It's still a third-party app, and there's always going to be a slight gap between it and native experiences, but that gap is smaller. Is it worth subscribing just for customization? That'll depend on how often you switch up your look. Am I currently into this Harry Styles face? Maybe. Follow

5 file management apps you should use instead of Files by Google
Andy Walker / Android Authority Every Android smartphone needs a file explorer, and for Pixel smartphones and many others, the default option is Files by Google. This free, lightweight app offers essential file management features, and its clean design makes viewing content in folders or categories quick and easy. It's a great way to clean up duplicate files and maintain free space on your device, but it's not the best file management app on Android. I've used many file explorers on Android over the years, and these are the best alternatives to Files by Google that offer more advanced features, a more attractive design, and additional customization options. What Android file management app do you use? 0 votes Files by Google NaN % Mixplorer NaN % Material Files NaN % Solid Explorer NaN % Cx File Explorer NaN % Fossify File Manager NaN % Your phone's default file manager. NaN % Another app (mention which in comments). NaN % Mixplorer Andy Walker / Android Authority Few file explorers match Mixplorer's versatility and extensibility. This is my favorite file management app for Android, and it has been in active development for over a decade. Mixplorer's name reflects its ability to seamlessly integrate various storage solutions, from internal storage to external media, LAN, Google Drive, OneDrive, and other cloud services. Once set up, you can access all this data without opening individual apps. Moreover, Mixplorer supports symlinks, which provide even more flexible file access opportunities across Android. Another popular feature is Mixplorer's customizable design. The default layout is user-friendly, but power users can integrate add-ons for additional functionality, install skins to theme the app, and use the tabbed interface to switch between services and folders easily. I love Mixplorer's dropdown breadcrumbs menu, a design choice that makes it easy to backtrack to a root folder without sacrificing screen space. Notably, Mixplorer is free if you download it through XDA, but the app is so well-built that I recommend supporting the developer. You can do so by downloading Mixplorer Silver via the Play Store. Material Files Andy Walker / Android Authority Material Files balances an approachable UI with an extensive feature set, appealing to both Files by Google users and power users. Thanks to its extensive use of Material You, the app feels as if Google itself could make it. Its elements adopt the overall color theme of your device and support automatic Night mode activation based on system settings. I'd argue that its UI is easier to use than Mixplorer, even if it doesn't provide the same expandability. That said, everything I need is readily available in the left-hand sidebar. I particularly like its dedicated Screenshots shortcut, which points me directly to stills of apps I often use in my articles. The app also supports external storage on local networks or physical media, but does not allow you to connect to and browse files on Google Drive, for instance. Solid Explorer Andy Walker / Android Authority Solid Explorer is also highly regarded in the Android app space. Solid mirrors much of Mixplorer's feature set and is known as a high-end file management tool, but adds a few unique features. Perhaps my favorite is its real-time folder size display, which updates the byte count of each directory as files are added or removed. Solid also offers a smart, polished UI experience. It supports two-pane file management, allowing you to view two directories side-by-side. Additionally, users can lock storage access behind a fingerprint, which is more appealing to me than using Private Space. As for actual file management, Solid excels with its useful folder information breakdowns. Cx File Explorer Andy Walker / Android Authority Cx File Explorer focuses more on managing Android device storage, offering various tools to help users manage shrinking storage space. Its best feature is its analysis tools, which detail where storage hogs are located, how much storage each file type uses, and highlight the largest files on the device. I particularly like this feature, as it helps me manage the videos I store on my device for flights and offline entertainment. Beyond these tools, Cx File Explorer boasts a clean design with a compact icon-based breadcrumbs menu, a useful info box displaying free storage, and built-in image, video, and audio players. Fossify File Manager Andy Walker / Android Authority Last but not least, Fossify File Manager is free, open-source, and focuses on privacy and simplicity. In that sense, it probably provides the closest experience to Files by Google with added security options. For instance, it allows users to lock individual files and folders behind a fingerprint or password. The UI is incredibly approachable, with various color options for the overall theme, a tab detailing which file types are occupying your drive, and simple search and organizational features. Files by Google is by no means a bad app. If anything, Google has built a simple, reliable file management tool that brings consistent performance across all Android apps. However, if you need a few more features, want to access cloud storage and local network stores, or introduce added security levels to your important files, consider one of the five apps above.
