Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold gets an official teaser — and it's all about the joy of opening things
The teaser is in a similar vein to last week's Pixel 10 teaser, which poked fun at Apple for its continual issues with upgrading Siri and Apple Intelligence. Only this time it's emphasizing the joy of "opening" your phone. Not just that first unboxing, but also every time you get to physically open and unfold the screen.
We then get a glimpse of the back of the phone. It won't be surprising to anyone who's seen the leaks to find out that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold looks shockingly like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Based on what we can see, both these phones are identical from this angle, which doesn't suggest there will be major design upgrades on the rest of the phone.
We do get to see another device in Google's new "Moonstone" color, which has leaked multiple times in recent weeks. So if you want your phone in a slightly different shade of gray, this might be the option for you.
This teaser isn't openly taking shots at other phones. Unless Google's taking aim at all the phones that don't offer a folding screen, including its own, which seems pretty unlikely. So this is more of a "please buy our super-expensive folding phone."
Leaked specs reiterate the fact that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold isn't going to seem all that different from the Pixel 9 Pro Fold — at least not physically. According to the leaks, we're expecting to see a phone with an 8-inch foldable OLED screen and a slightly larger 6.4-inch cover display, both of which should offer a 120Hz refresh rate. That extra tenth of an inch will likely come from slimmer bezels, rather than any major redesign.
Inside, we're expecting to see the new Tensor G5 chipset, the same 16GB of RAM, a larger 5,015 mAh battery and a choice of 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of storage. The camera is expected to come with the same 48MP main lens as before, joined by a 10.8MP ultrawide, 10.5 MP telephoto (5x optical zoom) and a pair of 10MP selfie cameras.

While not physically visible, rumors also suggest that the 10 Pro Fold will be IP68 rated, the first foldable to ever have the maximum dust resistance score of six. It's also claimed that we'll see Qi2 wireless charging, which should boost the wireless charging speed to 15W and offer a magnetic connection — which Google is reportedly calling PixelSnap.
Price-wise, we've heard that we may see a $1,600 starting price, which is $100 less than the previous two Pixel foldables. But I wouldn't get my hopes up for that, especially with tariffs always looming. We'll find out for sure on August 20, and until then, you can keep track of all the latest news and rumors in our Pixel 10 Pro Fold hub.

Stop using these ESR power banks that have been recalled for fire and explosion risks
ESR has issued a recall for 33,000 HaloLock wireless power banks, in 6,000mAh and 10,000mAh versions, because their lithium-ion batteries can 'overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.' The power banks were cheaper alternatives to Apple's MagSafe accessories (priced between $32 and $40) but offered slower 7.5W wireless charging speeds when used with an iPhone. Other Qi2 compatible chargers offer at least 15W speeds. The company has received nine reports of the power banks catching fire and exploding, causing around $20,000 of property damage, but no injuries, according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Although the exact model number wasn't revealed, seven months ago, a Reddit user shared images of the aftermath of a power bank exploding and catching fire in their home, which they later identified as an 'ESR 10000 mah wireless portable charger.' Approximately 24,000 power banks were sold in the US through Amazon, Home Depot, and ESR's online stores between September 2023 and July 2025, plus an additional 9,000 in Canada. CPSC: This recall involves ESR HaloLock wireless power banks with model numbers 2G520, 2G505B and 2G512B. 'ESR' is printed on the back and the model number is printed on the right side of the pocket-size power banks. They were sold in dark blue, light blue, gray, white and black. All recalled models have five circular LED display lights on one side. Consumers are urged to stop using the recalled power banks immediately, even if they seem to be functioning properly, but before properly disposing of them, they can contact ESR for a full refund. The company is asking owners to send a photo of the power bank showing its model number and the word 'recalled' written on it in permanent marker to [email protected].

Your Next Customer Found You in ChatGPT — Here's Why
First SEO, now 'GEO'. Generative AI is changing how brands are discovered and trusted, making Generative Engine Optimization essential for visibility in AI-generated content. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Generative AI is changing how audiences discover, consume and trust information — and with it, the rules of PR and marketing. As tools like Google's AI Overviews and ChatGPT become the front door to content, a new discipline is emerging: Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). Companies must understand how GEO is reshaping brand visibility, why earned and owned content must evolve, and what businesses should be doing to prepare for a generative-first future. Join top CEOs, founders and operators at the Level Up conference to unlock strategies for scaling your business, boosting revenue and building sustainable success. What is GEO, and how does it differ from traditional SEO? GEO is the practice of optimizing content to appear in AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT or Google's Search Generative Experience (SGE). It differs from SEO in important ways: Audience: GEO prioritizes content that is clear, relevant and easily understood in a conversational context, making it more accessible to AI systems generating human-like responses. In contrast, traditional SEO is designed to optimize content for search engine crawlers and ranking algorithms. Placement: GEO aims for inclusion in AI summaries and answers, not just search engine rankings. Format: GEO favors concise, well-structured and authoritative content that large language models (LLMs) can easily interpret and synthesize. Metrics: GEO success isn't clicks; it's citations, mentions and inclusion in AI outputs. Tools like Google's AI Overviews and ChatGPT are changing how customers discover and trust information. They are reshaping discovery by delivering instant, synthesized answers instead of directing users to multiple sources. They're also shifting trust from traditional websites to AI-generated summaries making the model the new gatekeeper of credible information. Related: AI Can Burn Out Your Team — Or Save It. Here's the Difference "Visibility" has acquired new meaning with the advent of GEO. Here's how I define visibility in a generative-first content landscape: it means being recognized and trusted in a noisy space that is saturated with content. It also means showing up consistently and meaningfully in the right communication channels and conversations and standing out with credibility. Earned media placements and PR-driven content create greater visibility, influencing generative AI outputs. When your company is featured in respected media outlets, it shapes how AI systems "learn" about you. Those placements become part of the digital fabric that makes your narrative discoverable, contextualized and reinforced across both human and machine interpretation. How teams can prepare for a generative-first future You have to intentionally shape how your brand shows up in AI-generated outputs. To check for accuracy and credibility, search your company, executives and products using generative AI tools and see what comes up. This "audit" will show you how, or if, your company is showing up. Invest in PR to drive ongoing, high-quality earned media coverage. Generative models rely on trusted public data. Coverage in authoritative outlets and consistent thought leadership help define your narrative in the AI ecosystem. Create quality, consistent, well-tagged content like press releases, FAQs, blogs and explainers that AI can easily parse and summarize. Build out a machine-readable foundation of facts about your company's people, products, milestones and positioning. This helps prevent misrepresentation and hallucination in AI responses. PR, SEO and data strategy disciplines are converging fast. Collaborate across content, communications and digital strategy to build a unified approach to visibility in both search and AI-generated outputs. There will be new skill sets and roles designed to manage visibility across both human and machine audiences. Here are three interesting roles I've heard about: An AI Visibility Strategist is a hybrid role combining PR, SEO and data science expertise. Prompt Architects are focused on crafting and refining prompts that shape AI-generated content, both for internal use (marketing, sales, comms) and external influence (e.g., training custom models or fine-tuning LLM assistants). The AI Ethics & Brand Integrity Lead ensures that content generated or amplified by AI aligns with company values, brand standards and regulatory guidelines, especially in high-stakes sectors like finance, healthcare or public policy. Related: How AI Is Transforming the SEO Playbook — and What Businesses Must Do to Ensure Long-Term Relevance and Visibility Recommendations for remaining relevant Business leaders must take a broader view of content strategy to serve both human audiences and AI systems. PR can no longer focus solely on generating buzz. It must evolve to engineer discoverability, ensuring your brand appears accurately and consistently in both media coverage and AI-generated content. Focus on securing high-quality earned media coverage. Amplify expert-driven content that positions your brand as a credible authority in the space. Generative AI pulls from high-quality, trusted sources. And make sure to use clean headlines, consistent messaging and well-tagged digital assets (like FAQs, explainer blogs or press releases) that can be easily indexed and understood by machines, not just people. AI models value clarity and context. Be intentional with keywords, brand voice and accuracy. Everything you publish feeds the AI ecosystem. From a podcast quote to a bylined article, assume it could be surfaced, summarized or cited in future outputs. How GEO will reshape the relationship between PR, marketing and search I predict that in the next two to three years, GEO will collapse the silos between PR, marketing and search. PR will become a core visibility driver for AI-based discovery. As generative engines replace traditional search for many users, PR will shape machine understanding. Media placements, quotes and thought leadership will become ever more critical data inputs that influence how AI summarizes and represents your brand. SEO will evolve into narrative optimization. Marketers will need to ensure brand messaging is consistently structured, credible and reinforced across all public touchpoints. GEO will require optimization not just for ranking but for inference, context and coherence in AI-generated content. Marketing will shift from campaigns to context-building. Brands must feed the AI ecosystem with high-quality, high-context materials that can be surfaced across any platform or prompt. That means marketing will spend more time on source authority, content integrity and long-term discoverability. No company survives by doing what it's always done and ignoring innovation. GEO is a powerful new branch of SEO, and you need to capitalize on it to be seen by decision-makers now that AI summaries dominate search queries. Use the strategy and recommendations discussed above to chart your own course to getting the visibility your brand deserves.

I wasn't using NotebookLM for YouTube research, but this extension changed all that
Andy Walker / Android Authority NotebookLM is by far the best AI project Google has piloted, and you can't convince me otherwise. Sure, there are flashier examples, but none match the practical, everyday usefulness of this research and notebook app. Whether it's for analyzing insurance or legal documents or helping me navigate my car's user and care manual, this is one AI product I use almost every day. While importing various documents into the service is straightforward, uploading online media is a chore, especially YouTube videos. Have you tried using NotebookLM to summarize YouTube videos? 0 votes Yes, it's a brilliant use for it. NaN % Yes, but it's not all that helpful. NaN % No, but I do want to give it a try. NaN % No, and don't intend to. NaN % While Google focuses on developing and adding flashier features like Audio and Video Overviews, a third-party developer has introduced a much-needed Chrome extension that simplifies uploading multiple YouTube videos to a notebook. Although the name isn't particularly inventive and similar extensions have been available in the Chrome Web Store before, YouTube to NotebookLM's ease of use and seamless integration make it stand out. Don't want to miss the best from Android Authority? Set us as a preferred source in Google Search to support us and make sure you never miss our latest exclusive reports, expert analysis, and much more. YouTube to NotebookLM is the Chrome extension I never knew I needed Andy Walker / Android Authority Currently, NotebookLM does accept YouTube videos as sources. However, there's a significant issue: if I want to add multiple videos, I must copy each URL and manually import it. If I want to mark a playlist as a source, I'd need to grab each individual video link, paste it into NotebookLM, and repeat. It doesn't automatically recognize videos within a playlist, but the YouTube to NotebookLM extension solves this. With it installed, I can import entire playlists directly from the YouTube page and, incredibly, even entire channels, to a notebook with just a click of a button. With this extension, you can now import an entire YouTube playlist or channel to a notebook with a few clicks. To test it out, I installed the extension and navigated to Anthropic's AI Fluency Course YouTube playlist — a video series I've been meaning to watch for a few weeks now. The extension places a NotebookLM button just above the playlist breakdown or below the video when viewing them individually. Clicking the button offers two options: Create New Notebook and Choose Notebook. When logged in with my Google account, I can select either, and the playlist (or single video) will automatically populate an existing or new notebook. I can then create mind maps, generate reports, creepy AI-generated podcasts, and ask questions about the existing content as usual. This content is also available from my NotebookLM Android app, which can be viewed alongside the actual YouTube videos in split or pop-up view on my devices. Neat! Andy Walker / Android Authority The button beneath a single video. The button above a playlist. While the course example above highlights its usefulness for research and education, I could theoretically upload a series of how-to videos to create a more robust step-by-step guide for performing a specific task, import video reviews for a particular product to help make a more informed decision, or, if you're a YouTuber, upload a channel for more intricate content analysis. Despite its name, YouTube to NotebookLM extends beyond Google's video service if needed. I've pinned the extension to Chrome's address bar, so when I click its icon, I can add any tab to a new or existing notebook. This makes importing word-heavy web pages to the service far simpler than copying the entire body of text. Importing entire channels? You may run into NotebookLM's limitations Andy Walker / Android Authority There are a few limitations to be aware of, mainly due to NotebookLM's design. For one, the AI notebook service only allows 50 sources for free-tier users and up to 300 for Pro subscribers. You'll hit these limits quickly if you handle an extensive playlist or an established channel. Currently, the app only supports the bulk import of YouTube links and tabs — no other video services are supported, at least based on my experience. Additionally, if you have a long list of links from elsewhere that you want to import into NotebookLM, you'll need another extension. NotebookLM Web Importer, available for Firefox and Chrome, is a possible candidate. Notably, YouTube to NotebookLM is currently limited to the latter browser. Until now, my notebooks have generally been without YouTube videos because adding them was a hassle. With this handy extension making that process much smoother, I certainly intend to incorporate video content into my research. Follow
