Google teases the Pixel 10 Pro Fold in a new video
The soundtrack is the same - the instrumental version of The Next Episode by Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg. But the jab towards Apple is much more subtle this time around.
It's all about opening your phone (and taking it out of the box), and then opening your phone - because if it's a Pixel 10 Pro Fold, you can open it i.e. unfold it too, unlike any iPhone so far.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is being unveiled on August 20 alongside the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL. All of them should have identical pricing to their predecessors, in North America, Europe, and India, but the Pixel 10 Pro Fold might not be released at the same time as the other handsets, according to a recent rumor.

Redmi 15 5G in for review
Prasad, 13 August 2025 Today, we are taking a look at the new Redmi 15 5G from Xiaomi. This is the latest budget smartphone in the company's long-running numbered Redmi series and while we can't reveal all the details yet, we can show what the device looks like and talk about some of its features. Starting with the design, the back of the phone looks rather familiar as we have seen similar designs in the past from Oppo and Vivo. There's a rectangular camera island to the top left with three circular elements stacked vertically on the left. In case of the Redmi 15 5G, the camera island is made out of aluminum. Also seen on the back is the icy pattern on the Frosted White variant that we have today. The phone also comes in two other colors, Midnight Black and Sandy Purple, where the former has a plain black look while the latter mimics the appearance of sand dunes. On the front is the 6.9-inch FHD+ LCD with a refresh rate that goes up to 144Hz. There are sizable bezels all-around, but that is to be expected in this segment. The Redmi 15 5G's claim to fame is its large 7000mAh battery. Xiaomi claims this is the only silicon-carbon battery in the segment and that it retains 80% of its life even after 4+ years of use. The phone can also be used as a power bank as it offers 18W reverse wired charging. Meanwhile, the phone itself offers 33W fast charging with a matching charger provided in the box. The Redmi 15 5G is running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset and will come with the company's HyperOS 2 installed. Xiaomi promises two years of OS updates and four years of security updates. Other features include a 50MP camera at the back, IP64 ingress protection, and Dolby-certified audio. The Redmi 15 5G will be launched on August 19, and we will have more details to share then.

Personally, I think the iPhone 17 Pro looks great, and it'll actually be an iPhone that 'we think you're going to love'
*Image credit — Fpt. The redesign for the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro has pretty much been set in stone, as numerous leaks and images have surfaced over the past few months. However, the reception across online circles has been quite mixed, with some people having said some very unkind words about Apple's new flagship phone. I, too, think that Apple is making a mistake, at least to an extent. The iPhone has had a very distinct look for many years, and the new design may lead to people confusing it for a Pixel phone from afar. This would especially be true for the iPhone 17 Air, in my opinion, as it features a slim, elongated rear camera island much like the Google Pixel 9. But, the negative reviews online for a phone that isn't even out yet are, in my eyes, a bit unwarranted. Apple is entering an era of actual innovation, as the foldable iPhone, the iPhone 18, and the iPhone 20 Pro all promise excellent new changes. And the iPhone 17 Pro will kick off that era with some excellent decisions being made by the company. Here's why I think the new iPhone 17 Pro is not only a looker, but the first iPhone in years that isn't just a marginal upgrade. iPhone 17 Pro will shake things up. | Image credit — Majin Bu You see, the thing is, the new iPhone 17 Pro isn't different just for the sake of being so, it has actual advantages that come with its redesign. For starters, the iPhone 17 Pro has better antenna placement, as Apple is moving that to wrap around the bigger rear camera island. This means better coverage as the antenna will be less likely to be covered by your hands or a phone case. The larger rear island also means that the lenses, the flash, and the sensor can be spaced apart better. While it's not necessarily confirmed, some people allege that this will lead to better photography and video quality, especially if the flash is being used. They've argued that the flash won't interfere with the cameras as much, and Apple can allow more light in as a result. Lastly, and most importantly for me, the iPhone 17 Pro is getting thicker instead of being slimmed down even further. This is because Samsung and Apple are diverging in how they approach their flagships moving forward. While the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will become even thinner — and retain the 5,000 mAh battery — the iPhone 17 Pro will opt for a larger battery than its predecessor instead. Coupled with the new AI-powered battery management found in iOS 26, Apple may actually deliver a phone that outlasts it competition handily this year, literally speaking. Come on, it's not as bad as everyone's making it out to be! | Image credit — Setsuna Digital Now, here's the really contentious part, I genuinely think that the iPhone 17 Pro looks pretty great. As more and more details have come out, and its renders have improved, it's begun to look a lot better than it did a few months back. I also think that it'll look even better in person than it does in the images. The iPhone has had the same look for so long, it was time for change. In my opinion, and feel free to disagree, the new iPhone 17 Pro looks like a very modern phone. I can easily see this becoming a fan favorite down the line. Also, it's not like it's losing its identity: the iconic triple-camera setup remains atop the larger rear island. And, before you point it out yet again, yes: I'm aware that the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra had a similar design all the way back in 2021. The iPhone 17 Pro is in no way a phone with a unique design that has never been seen before, but it still looks like it definitely belongs in 2025. Apple is also trying new things to spice up the redesign. My favorite piece of news in recent days has been about a Liquid Glass color option for the iPhone 17 Pro. Apparently, that color option will make the Pro models reflect in various ways under different lighting conditions, and that just sounds brilliant. And, of course, we can't forget the hardware improvements being made this year. I've mentioned the larger battery, but what I haven't talked about yet is the increased RAM and improved displays. All iPhone 17 models will have 120 Hz LTPO screens ( ProMotion, as Apple calls it ), and almost all of them will have 12 GB of RAM. In fact, if the supply chain cooperates, then all of them will have more RAM. So, if CEO Tim Cook takes the stage this year and says that Apple has an iPhone that he's sure we're going to love, I'll feel more inclined to believe him than I have in years.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 vs Apple iPad Air 11" M3: Main differences to expect
Samsung is about to announce and release the Galaxy Tab S11 lineup very soon, and it will once again consist of two devices. Last year, we got the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, but this year, Samsung is shaking things up once again and will only release a Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S11, skipping the Plus model. Judging from the leaked specs and features, there won't be that many changes in comparison with the previous Galaxy Tab S tablet that was released. One way or another, the S Pen is coming back to a compact Galaxy tablet near you. How will the upcoming device compare with Apple's iPad Air, the overkill one with the M3 chipset on deck? Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 vs Apple iPad Air M3 differences explained: Table of Contents: Samsung and Apple are both playing it extremely safe with their regular tablets, without any major risks or experiments going on. The Galaxy Tab S11 will look exactly like the Galaxy Tab S9 or a slightly smaller Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, if you will. A fairly thin aluminum slate with compact dimensions and the trendy flat design language, the Galaxy Tab S11 is an unmistakable Galaxy tablet. The iPad Air M3 is even more conservative when it comes to design and simply exudes that Apple style. It will boast slightly thicker bezels, which doesn't really feel premium when you compare it with other Galaxy Tablets or more premium iPads. In terms of size, dimensions have leaked for the Galaxy Tab S11. The device will measure 253.8 × 165.3 × 5.5 mm and weigh 482 grams. At the same time, the iPad Air measures 247.6 x 178.5 x 6.1 mm and weighs 460 grams. The iPad is obviously the more squarish device, while the Galaxy Tab S11 will be wider yet shorter. The Galaxy Tab S11 will boast an 11-inch screen with a 2560 x 1600-pixel resolution, working out to a 16:10 aspect ratio. It's a Dynamic AMOLED screen that can go up to 120Hz for the smoothest experience. Meanwhile, the iPad Air M3 comes with an IPS LCD screen, only capable of going to 60Hz. That's definitely the weakest part of this tablet, and sadly, it's one of the most important ones, so it's definitely a compromise. The iPad Air is also available in a 13-inch version. In terms of colors, the Galaxy Tab S11 will come in two fairly boring colors, Gray and Silver. The iPad Air M3, on the other hand, arrives in Space Gray, Starlight, Purple, and Blue, a decidedly more intriguing combination. The Galaxy Tab S11 will come with an S Pen stylus included in the box, just like most of its predecessors. The Apple iPad Air M3 supports both the Apple Pencil with USB-C and the Apple Pencil Pro. None of those are available in the box, though, so you will have to purchase them separately. In terms of keyboards, the Apple tablet supports the new Magic Keyboard that was released alongside that tablet. We are certain the Galaxy Tab S11 will be compatible with its Book Cover Keyboard line. The Galaxy Tab S11 is coming with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset, which is a 3nm chipset that will certainly improve the overall performance and efficiency here. However, there's no denying that the iPad Air will always come out on top, given that it comes with the laptop-grade M3 chip, which is a total overkill for such upper mid-range devices as the iPad Air M3. The Galaxy Tab S11 will arrive with 12GB of RAM, which should be more than enough for snappy multitasking and all the AI features you might need on board. Samsung is once again putting 128, 256, or 512GB of storage inside, allowing you to pick your desired storage configuration. We don't know if the device will boast a microSD card slot. The iPad Air, on the other hand, comes with 8GB of RAM but comes with more diversity in terms of storage. The device is available with 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB of storage. Software The Galaxy Tab S11 will come with Android 15 and One UI 7, but we might see Android 16 and One UI 8 instead. The device will definitely be supported for up to seven years from release and will definitely come with full Galaxy AI support on board. Meanwhile, the iPad currently runs iPadOS 18 with full Apple Intelligence support, but next month Apple will release iPadOS 26 with the major Liquid Glass redesign. Apple usually supports its devices for six to seven years, so you will be set until the end of the decade and beyond that. The Galaxy Tab S11 will come with an 8,400 mAh battery, the same one as the previous Galaxy Tab S9 tablet came along with. Meanwhile, the iPad Air M3 comes with a 7,606 mAh battery. In our tests, it delivers average battery life, which should be more than enough for regular usage. The Galaxy Tab S11 will feature 45W wired charging, which is plenty fast for a Samsung device. The iPad only supports up to 20W wired charging, which will delivers slower charging, all things considered. Both the iPad Air M3 and the Galaxy Tab S11 come with single cameras. That's normal for tablets, which aren't the type of devices that you should reach out for when you wish to take a photo. The Galaxy Tab S11 will feature a 13MP camera, while the iPad Air M3 boasts a 12MP one. At the front, both have 12MP snappers for video calls. Well, the Galaxy Tab S11 will give you the more flexible Android experience, as well as Samsung's very decent One UI. Add the included S Pen, and you're looking at a fairly impressive compact tablet. Meanwhile, the iPad Air M3 boasts exceptional performance thanks to the M3 chip, one that will definitely leave the Galaxy Tab S11 in the proverbial dust. Being an integral part of the Apple ecosystem also makes the iPad Air with the M3 chip a perfect choice for just about any invested Apple user.
