Google teases early Pixel 10 launch, invites fans to exclusive penthouse preview on June 27
Google might be changing the Pixel playbook once again. After nudging last year's Pixel 9 series launch to August, deliberately ahead of Apple's September iPhone 16 reveal, Google now seems ready to up the ante. The next flagship, Pixel 10, could make its grand entrance as early as late June or early have already gone out to select members of Google's Pixel Superfans club for an exclusive event dubbed the 'Pixel Penthouse', set to take place in London on June 27. And no, it's not just a clever name—the invite promises hands-on access to pre-release Pixel devices, Q&A sessions with Google employees (affectionately dubbed "Googlers"), and a stash of 'Pixel-themed goodies' for the chosen few. advertisementBut there's a catch—only 25 fans will be allowed through the door. To earn their spot, invitees must first answer a series of questions posed by Google to prove their Pixel prowess. For years, Google timed Pixel launches around October. The problem? Apple launches its iPhones in September, and potential buyers often don't wait around. Many simply go for the shiny new iPhone, leaving the Pixel in the shadows before it even an effort to beat Apple to the punch, Google launched the Pixel 9 series a month earlier last year. Now, it looks like they're moving even faster. By setting the stage for a June event, Google is clearly aiming to get ahead of Apple's expected iPhone 17 reveal, which usually lands in 10 series: What to expectadvertisementWhile the Pixel 10 hasn't been officially unveiled, leaks and rumours are already painting a vivid picture of what we can next-generation handset is rumoured to be powered by Google's in-house Tensor G5 chip, with 12GB of RAM on the base model. For those who want even more power, the Pixel 10 Pro may offer a hefty 16GB RAM option, continuing the high-performance trend seen in the Pixel 9 Pro benchmarks, including a recent Geekbench listing, suggest the Tensor G5 is already being tested with Android 15. However, it's widely expected that the Pixel 10 series will debut with Android 16 pre-installed, making it the poster child for Google's next-gen operating the photography front, things could get interesting. Concept renders doing the rounds hint at a triple-lens camera setup across the Pixel 10 range, not just the Pro variant. This marks a potential shift in Google's approach, possibly making features once exclusive to premium models more widely leaked specs point to a 64-megapixel main camera, paired with a 64-megapixel ultra-wide and a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, allegedly offering up to 50x digital zoom. That's a serious spec sheet, though it's worth noting that these details stem from concept art rather than official announcements. In other words: exciting, but not set in terms of design, don't expect a radical overhaul. Leaked images suggest the Pixel 10 shares a striking resemblance to the Pixel 9 Pro, especially with the horizontal camera bar now seemingly standard across the entire range. Whether it's a case of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' or just a placeholder for more dramatic upgrades inside, remains to be seen.

WhatsApp to End Support for Older iPhones and Android Phones from June 1: Is your Phone on the List
Starting June 1, WhatsApp will no longer function on a number of older iPhones and Android smartphones, as part of Meta's regular update cycle aimed at enhancing app performance and security. The company had initially planned to implement the change in May 2025 but delayed the rollout slightly, giving users extra time to prepare. This move affects devices running on outdated operating systems. Specifically, iPhones with iOS 15 or earlier and Android smartphones on Android 5.0 or below will lose access to the messaging app. According to WhatsApp, this step is essential as these legacy systems no longer receive security updates, leaving them vulnerable to threats. Here's a list of phones that will lose WhatsApp support starting June 1: iPhone 5s iPhone 6 iPhone 6 Plus iPhone 6s iPhone 6s Plus iPhone SE (1st Generation) Samsung Galaxy S4 Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Sony Xperia Z1 LG G2 Huawei Ascend P6 Moto G (1st Gen) Motorola Razr HD Moto E (2014) While these models are considered outdated, WhatsApp advises users to check their current software version before assuming they're affected. Devices running iOS 15.1 or newer, and Android 5.1 or later, will still be compatible with WhatsApp. If your device is eligible for a software update, installing it may keep WhatsApp running smoothly. For users whose phones are on the chopping block, WhatsApp recommends backing up chats before the support cutoff. This can be done by opening the app, navigating to Settings > Chats > Chat Backup, and following the prompts. Backing up your data to a Google account ensures an easier transition to a new phone without losing conversations or media. Security First: Why WhatsApp Is Pulling the Plug on Old Systems The primary reason behind ending support for these older systems is security. Devices that no longer receive regular updates from Apple or Android are more prone to cybersecurity threats. As WhatsApp continues to roll out new features aimed at protecting user data, maintaining compatibility with outdated systems becomes increasingly difficult and risky. 'Security is the main reason behind' the decision, the company said. Without frequent software patches, these older devices are at greater risk of being compromised — something WhatsApp is keen to avoid as it prioritizes user safety. Recent Privacy Enhancements on WhatsApp In recent months, WhatsApp has introduced a suite of privacy upgrades. These include new tools to prevent unauthorized copying of messages, images, or videos in both personal and group chats. Additionally, features like chat lock — which secures conversations with a password, fingerprint, or Face ID — and enhanced disappearing messages options have been implemented to give users more control over their data.

KTR pitches Telangana as ideal investment destination
HYDERABAD: BRS working president KT Rama Rao called upon the global investors to come to India, especially progressive states like Telangana. Addressing the Bridge India Conference in London on Friday on the topic 'Why Telangana Matters: Steady Growth and Navigating the Global Economic Landscape,' Rama Rao said that Telangana's development is a fine balance between welfare and infrastructure that is inclusive. 'We believe in maximising governance and minimising government. We believe in ensuring that process becomes the key and not the person. We believe in institutionalising the change and not centralising it around one person and that is what makes Telangana special'. The former minister recalled that the world's largest campuses of Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and other most valued tech companies in the world are in Telangana. 'The change in the landscape of Hyderabad over the last decade has been incredible. By building up a social public movement like the Telangana movement, gives you hope that after the Independence struggle led by the likes of Gandhi and Pandit Nehru, it is still possible in independent India to achieve your dreams through a democratic struggle,' he said.
