Google's Pixel Watch 4, Fold Pro 10 and Buds 2a are rumored to launch later than the rest of its new gear
Winfuture has reported that the Pixel Watch 4, Fold Pro 10 and Buds 2a will be announced at the Made by Google event, but won't be available until October . The Pixel 10 line of smartphones will reportedly be available on August 28, which is just around a week after the announcement.
The holdup for the other products is reportedly due to supply chain issues, according to sources who spoke to Winfuture . Google hasn't confirmed this delay. As a matter of fact, the company hasn't even officially confirmed that the products in question exist. That's what the Made by Google event is for.
There have been plenty of leaks , so we likely know what's coming and some specs. The splashy Pixel 10 Pro Fold reportedly features a new display and hinge, which could account for the supply chain delay. The Pixel Watch 4 reportedly includes new internal hardware and a modified charging system which both could be contributing to the delay.
We'll just have to wait for August 20. This isn't a streaming event, so follow along with our liveblog of the entire proceedings.

The Morning After: Meta teases high-spec VR headset prototypes
Meta previewed some of its latest virtual reality prototypes this week and plans to demo them at next week's SIGGRAPH conference. The aim, according to Meta's blog post, is to offer VR experiences 'indistinguishable from the physical world' — something it says no present-day VR system has yet done. It wants to surpass what it terms the visual Turing test. 'Our mission for this project was to provide the best image quality possible,' said Xuan Wang, an optical research scientist with Reality Labs Research's Optics, Photonics and Light Systems (OPALS) team. And Meta's Tiramisu project seemingly has the numbers to back up those ambitions. It promises three times the contrast, 14 times the maximum brightness and 3.6 times the angular resolution of the Meta Quest 3. The headset offers 1,400 nits of brightness and an angular resolution of 90 pixels per degree. It's a work in progress, however. Tiramisu has a field of view of just 33 degrees by 33 degrees compared to the 110 degrees horizontal and 96 degrees vertical FOV in the Meta Quest 3. It also looks like Google's Daydream, from back in the day. Conversely, another pair of prototypes, codenamed Boba 3, leans into an ultrawide field of view. It has a 180-degree FOV, when human vision extends to around 200 degrees. Also, they're roughly the same size as current VR headsets. — Mat Smith Get Engadget's newsletter delivered direct to your inbox. Subscribe right here! The news you might have missed Google says AI in Search is driving more queries and higher quality clicks Everyone else says differently. A Pew Research Center report last month shed light on Google's AI Overviews' effect on web publishing, showing an abysmal outlook for anyone relying on web traffic. But this week, Google Search head Liz Reid penned a blog post that puts quite a different spin on things. Naturally, she claims click quality and Google Search's total organic click volume to websites has been 'relatively stable' year over year. Reid also said Google sends more 'quality clicks' (visitors who don't quickly bounce) to websites than a year ago. She shared no numbers, however. Continue reading. OpenAI's GPT-5 is here, and it's free for everyone It's safer, faster and more accurate than OpenAI's past models. OpenAI is releasing the long-awaited GPT-5 and says it has across-the-board enhancements. The company claims the model is its best yet for coding, writing, safety, accuracy and more. At the start of the year, Altman said GPT-5 would offer a unified experience for users, and the new model delivers on that promise. For the first time, OpenAI's default offering is a reasoning model, meaning the system is programmed to tackle complex problems by breaking them into smaller parts. Previously, if you wanted to force ChatGPT to use one of OpenAI's reasoning models, you had to select the Think Longer option from the prompt bar. This meant most free users didn't even know OpenAI had more capable models. Continue reading. Framework Desktop (2025) review Powerful, but not for everyone. Framework's 2025 edition of its Desktop PC is powerful, particularly for creative professionals and developers. It uses an AMD Ryzen AI Max APU, which is a workstation-level chip, but to integrate it, the CPU and RAM are soldered directly to the mainboard, making them non-upgradable. The DIY Edition of the Desktop fortunately requires minimal setup, but this isn't the easy-to-make gaming PC you might be hoping for: It's better suited to productivity tasks, like running AI models and video editing.

Google's Gmail Warning—Change Every Password That's On This List
Google has confirmed that attacks on Gmail users to steal security credentials are now surging and are behind '37% of successful intrusions.' Put more simply, password theft is allowing hackers to gain access to accounts. This includes infostealer malware, "which is increasingly being used to enable intrusions using stolen credentials." Google warns users to upgrade the security on their accounts. This means always using a passkey or 'Sign in with Google' instead of a password. It means never using a linked or popup sign-in window. But it also means using only strong, unique passwords and enabling a non-SMS form of two-factor authentication (2FA). Google's research finds most users are yet to add passkeys, even though "unlike passwords, which can be guessed, stolen, or forgotten, passkeys are unique digital credentials tied to a user's device.' More worryingly, most users 'still rely on older sign-in methods like passwords.' So, it's critical those passwords are not a gift to hackers. Hive Systems warns 'password reuse, short character lengths, and weak complexity remain some of the easiest ways attackers gain access to systems.' The team has listed 'time-to-crack estimates for passwords of various lengths and character sets.' This guide shows why a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols is best. But only if it's eight characters or more. It also takes a standalone 'brute force' approach. But in the real world. an attacker does not start from scratch. That means the times to crack are much shorter — sometimes no time at all. It doesn't matter how long or complex your password. If it's reused and has breached or been stolen, then all accounts with that same password will be at risk. Take a look at NordPass's top-200 most common passwords, a horror list now in its sixth year of shaming us all into better password hygiene. To assemble the data, 'we analyzed passwords stolen by malware or exposed in data leaks,' the firm says. If your password makes the list or is anything like one of those on the list, then change it now — right now. The combination of the NordPass and Hive Systems reports should explain exactly how to craft a good password. Better still, use a standalone (not browser-based) password manager to create strong, unique passwords for all accounts. None of this changes the most critical advice though. Add a passkey to your Google account and always use this to sign-in. Replace SMS 2FA with an authenticator app. And never log into any Google account through a linked or popup sign-in prompt.

Google Pixel Watch 4 leak tips major improvement for outdoor workout tracking — I can't wait to try this
New Google Pixel Watch 4 leaks have emerged, and the most exciting reveal in my eyes is the addition of dual-frequency GPS to the upcoming watch. The leaked images come from Evan Blass, who posted them on X, and they detail several new features, including a side-mounted charging dock, an impressive 40 hours of battery life on the larger 45mm model, and a 3,000 nit Actua 360 display. 8, 2025 The reason I'm excited for dual-frequency GPS is that it will improve the distance and speed/pace tracking for outdoor workouts like runs and bike rides. Dual-frequency GPS is a standard feature on the best sports watches, and also included on top smartwatches like the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, and it will be a great addition to the Pixel Watch 4 for keen runners, hikers and cyclists. The leak points to 30-hour battery life on the smaller 41mm Google Pixel Watch 4 and 40 hours on the 45mm model of the watch, a big jump on the 24 hours you get on both sizes of the Google Pixel Watch 3. Furthermore, the leak suggests the new watches will offer 25% faster charging. Previous leaks have also indicated the new watches will charge from the side by standing in a cradle, to better serve as a tabletop clock. Google is expected to launch several new devices at a Made By Google event on 20 August, including the Pixel 10 series of phones, including the Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The Pixel Watch 4 is likely to be announced as well, though rumors suggest it won't be available to buy until September or even October. It's expected to cost $349 to $399, though could be more expensive, and all colors of the watch were recently revealed in another leak.
