Pixel 10: Google's base flagship model features Tensor G5, new telephoto camera, bigger battery, Pixelsnap (VIDEO)
As per what you may expect, the 2025 iteration of Google's flagship smartphone brings together a number of upgrades which revolves around performance, camera, and AI features.
Just like the 9th generation Pixel phones, the new Pixel 10 can only be obtained with just one screen size which is 6.3-inch.
In fact, the Pixel 10 screen still carries plenty of characteristics from its predecessor such as OLED panel, 1080 x 2424 resolution, pixel density of 422 PPI, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and dynamic refresh rate range of 60 to 120Hz.
However, Pixel 10's display has a much higher peak brightness of 3000 nits as opposed to Pixel 9 which maxes out at 2700 nits.
At the core of the Pixel 10 is the new Google Tensor G5 processor which is also being used on the Pixel 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold. Unlike its Pro siblings though, the Pixel 10 only has 12GB of RAM instead of 16GB.

Another fresh feature that the Pixel 10 shares with its Pro sibling is the support for the Pixelsnap magnetic accessories. This implementation also allows the new phone to support Apple MagSafe accessories too but Pixel 10's Qi2 wireless charging capability is still limited to 15W.
Meanwhile, one of the biggest upgrades that Google has implemented on the Pixel 10 is by implementing a tri-camera setup.
While it still features the 48MP main camera and 12MP ultrawide camera, Pixel 10 also has a new 10.8MP telephoto camera that also comes with 20x Super Res Zoom capability.

However, no changes to the front-mounted camera though as Pixel 10 still has a 10.5MP Dual PD autofocus selfie camera as per its predecessor.
Similar to Pixel 9, Google claimed that Pixel 10 has a battery life of more than 24 hours. That being said, it is actually being powered by a much larger 4,970mAh battery.
In Malaysia, the Pixel 10 is now available for pre-order and will be released into store on 28 August with a starting price of RM3,999.
Running on Android 16, the new phone can be obtained in several colourways including Indigo, Frost, Lemongrass, and Obsidian. — SoyaCincau

Germany's Ecosia proposes stewardship to run Google Chrome

REUTERS/Arnd Wiegmann/File Photo/File Photo STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -Germany's Ecosia, a nonprofit search engine, said on Thursday it has submitted a proposal to assume a 10-year stewardship of Alphabet's Google Chrome web browser. According to the proposal, Google would legally separate Chrome into a foundation, retaining ultimate ownership and intellectual property rights and give Ecosia operational responsibility for 10 years, Ecosia said. Ecosia plans to reinvest part of Chrome's profits in climate action under Ecosia's governance, with the remainder returned to Google as compensation for the stewardship. Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Earlier in August, Perplexity AI made a $34.5 billion unsolicited all-cash offer for Chrome, a bid far above its own valuation as the startup reaches for the browser's billions of users pivotal to the AI search race.

China's DeepSeek unveils faster AI model with domestic chip support
BEIJING, Aug 21 — Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek released on Thursday an upgrade to its flagship V3 model that the company says has a feature that can optimise it for Chinese-made chips, along with faster processing speeds. The focus on domestic chip compatibility may signal that DeepSeek's AI models are being positioned to work with China's emerging semiconductor ecosystem as Beijing pushes to replace US technology in the face of Washington's export restrictions. DeepSeek shook the technology world this year when it released AI models that compete with Western ones like OpenAI's ChatGPT while offering lower operational costs. The upgrade to DeepSeek's V3 model follows two other recent updates to its core models — an R1 model update in May and an earlier V3 enhancement in March. For domestic chip support, DeepSeek said in a WeChat post its DeepSeek-V3.1 model's UE8M0 FP8 precision format is optimised for 'soon-to-be-released next-generation domestic chips'. The company did not identify which specific chip models or manufacturers would be supported. FP8, or 8-bit floating point, is a data processing format that allows AI models to operate more efficiently, using less memory while running faster than traditional methods. The DeepSeek-V3.1 features a hybrid inference structure that enables the model to operate in both reasoning and non-reasoning modes, the company said in a WeChat post on Thursday. Users can toggle between these modes using a 'deep thinking' button on the company's official app and web platform, both of which now run the V3.1 version. The company will also adjust the costs for using the model's API, a platform that allows developers of other apps and web products to integrate its AI models, starting September 6, the statement showed. — Reuters

Public sector data digitalisation policy being drafted, says Gobind
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 — The National Digital Department (JDN) is drafting a public sector data digitalisation policy as part of the new technology development agenda under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), said Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo. He said the data digitalisation policy will cover the identification of data existing across all ministries and government agencies. 'This is to ensure that data, whether in the form of analogue, audio, visual or a combination thereof, can be digitised immediately in accordance with established standards, taking into account the type of data, security levels and privacy aspects required to enable it to be used promptly if needed. 'The policy is expected to be completed by the end of this year,' he said when winding up debate on the 13MP for the Digital Ministry in the Dewan Rakyat today. He said that once the data digitalisation effort is implemented, data storage will also become a priority for the Digital Ministry through the establishment of a Data Bank as outlined under the 13MP. 'In the 13MP presentation, the Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim) mentioned that a data bank will be established for data storage purposes, and this ministry is drawing up the necessary measures to ensure the success of this agenda,' he said. Gobind also said that a Data Commission will be set up under the 13MP as a regulatory body to ensure governance, compliance with standards, and the effectiveness of data protection remain safe, transparent and with integrity. To further improve the government's digital service system, he said the Digital Ministry will launch the MyGOV Malaysia mobile application as a one-stop centre for government digital services. 'This application integrates services from various government agencies in stages with MyDigital ID as the main login key, and it offers various categories of services such as information display, payment verification and applications. 'Integration with federal government, state government and local authority (PBT) services will be implemented in stages starting next year until 2030,' he said. — Bernama
