Google Pixel 10 launch set for August 20: Everything we know so far
With Google confirming the Pixel 10 launch on August 20, the much-awaited smartphone is just around the corner. In the run-up to the launch, Google has unveiled designs of two of its smartphones in the lineup. Apart from what Google has teased, numerous tipsters have revealed information about the smartphones' features and potential design changes. And due to the leaks, we have an idea of what Google's lineup might look like: the Pixel 10, 10 XL, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold. To begin things, the new Pixel series is going to be launched on August 10 in New York. The company will host an event known as 'Made by Google', which will showcase all their latest phones, watches and other technology. Additionally, we know that Google is not changing their design language, as it displayed similar design features when teased in comparison to the Pixel 9 Pro. Yes, the one visible difference between the previous generation is that the vanilla Pixel 10 will get an upgrade to a triple camera setup. The phone will get a telephoto lens that will make it in line with Pro models. According to an online tipster, Android Authority, Google's primary camera on the Pixel 10 has smaller sensors, which means it will collect less light than the Pixel 9. Indeed, it looks like it will make use of the same sensors as the Pixel 9A. This implies that the telephoto lens will compensate for the Pixel 10's inferior primary and ultrawide cameras compared to the 9, unless Google has made advancements elsewhere. The selfie camera, at least, ought to stay the same. Additionally, it suggests that the triple cameras on the 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL, which are reportedly going to be the same as the 9 Pro versions, may be better than the 10 in general. The Pixel 10 is the only model receiving a true camera makeover, but that is a very minor improvement over the Fold's primary camera. According to Android Authority, Google is working on several new AI image technologies, some of which might come for the Pixel 11 next year. 'Speak-to-Tweak' should be a voice-activated photo editing tool, while 'Sketch-to-Image' will be the Pixel version of a function currently found on Samsung phones. The tipster also revealed 'Pixel Sense', a new virtual assistant for the Pixel 10. According to reports, Pixel Sense will leverage data from other Google apps to do tasks on your phone, provide helpful ideas before you ask, and better understand your preferences. That will all be processed on-device, which is impressive. More recently, another tipster, Android Headlines, reported that the voice instructions will be available for basic modifications such as changing backgrounds, brightening images, or removing objects. It also claimed that Google added a new artificial intelligence tool dubbed 'Camera Coach' that would use Gemini to give you tips as you're shooting, including how to improve lighting or camera angles. According to numerous reports from Android Authority, Google is switching production of the new Tensor G5 CPU from Samsung to TSMC, utilising the same 3nm N3E process that Apple employs for the A18 Pro chip in the iPhone 16 Pro. When combined with a few changes to the fundamental design, that should result in a notable increase in processing power and better thermals. Google is getting ready to launch a line of magnetic Qi2 charging under the 'Pixelsnap' brand. In July, Wireless Power Consortium, an open standards development organisation that collaborates with global technology and electronic firms to establish international safety standards, introduced Qi2 25W, a faster version of magnetic wireless charging. Wireless Power Consortium claimed that it would be compatible with 'major Android smartphones'. And it might have indicated the new and upcoming Pixel lineup. Although Google did not support Qi2 on its earlier Pixels, there are compelling arguments that this could soon change. Perhaps, the most significant leak is the latter one. Although it was originally believed that Google might follow Samsung in certifying its phones as Qi2 Ready—that is, capable of Qi2 charging without the need for magnets. The size of the new phones is further proof of it. The official weights and measurements of all four phones are greater than those of the previous generation, and the XL variants are thicker, according to reports from Android Headlines. This might just be due to the phones' larger batteries, which have been mentioned in a number of publications. However, Google might also be creating room for the magnets needed to make Qi2 support possible, reports Android Authority. The first folding phone with an IP68 rating will be the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The 10 Pro Fold raises that to total protection against dust and particles. The highest possible rating for dust protection is the IP68. To date, no foldable phone has managed to accomplish dust protection, indicating that Google's engineering efforts to secure the phone's sensitive mechanisms completely seem successful. According to official renders from Android Headlines that leaked, that translates to more vibrant colours than before on the base Pixel 10. According to the tipster, the phone will be available in Google's regular black finish, 'Obsidian', as well as three other colours: 'Indigo', 'Frost', and 'Limoncello.' The Pro models are the returning 'Porcelain' white, a gentle green named 'Jade', and a grey-blue called 'Moonstone', and 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL are available in the same 'Obsidian' black. That shade may be familiar to you from Google's official logo at the top. The 10 Pro Fold will be available in two versions, reportedly only offered in 'Moonstone' and 'Jade'. Another leaked picture from the Play Store that displays the three Pro versions in 'Moonstone' and the standard 10 in 'Indigo' provides additional confirmation of those colours.

From non-profit to $500 billion: OpenAI's valuation rise
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills Founded in December 2015 as a nonprofit, which Elon Musk will keep reminding chief executive Sam Altman, OpenAI has evolved over the past decade to become one of the world's most valuable private technology companies It started with grants, donations, and modest investments from technology leaders. But recent reports suggest that OpenAI is approaching a $500 billion market capitalisation as current and former employees may sell some shares. The company's valuation remained comparatively low during its early years while it focussed on developing its artificial intelligence (AI) became a unicorn and reached $1 billion in valuation in July 2019 as investor interest grew around AI research and commercialisation. This is when Microsoft was added to the company's cap April 2021, as commercialisation within the tech and enterprise space and the relevance of large language models and generative AI increased, OpenAI's value was pushed to $14 released ChatGPT in November 2022, marking a major juncture for the company. The conversational AI chatbot took the world by storm, with hundreds of thousands using it regularly, and Big Tech peers coming out with rivals in the subsequent year. This pushed OpenAI's valuation to $29 billion by January 2023, OpenAI expanded its offerings with new models and developer tools, such as plug-ins and enterprise APIs, which further accelerated its market February 2024, sustained growth and new product launches had taken OpenAI's valuation to $86 billion. However, a major fillip came in October 2024, when the company closed a $6.6 billion funding round led by major investors including Microsoft, Nvidia, and SoftBank. This round raised OpenAI's valuation to $157 billion, making it one of the highest-valued private companies closed a $40 billion funding round in March led by SoftBank Group, with other investors including Magnetar Capital, Coatue Management, Founders Fund, and Altimeter Capital Management participating. This nearly doubled the market cap to $300 product evolution has continued, with launches like GPT-4 and, most recently, GPT-5 that have increased capabilities and increased adoption across sectors. Bloomberg reported on August 16 that current and former OpenAI employees are in talks to sell about $6 billion worth of stock to investors, including Thrive Capital, SoftBank Group Corp., and Dragoneer Investment Group, in a deal that would value the ChatGPT maker at $500 billion.

‘A 25-year-old in Mumbai…': ChatGPT mastermind Sam Altman bets big on India, poised to be OpenAI's top market
This is the most exciting time in history to start a career, says none other than Sam Altman. The OpenAI CEO, while talking to Nikhil Kamath, shows great faith in India and its youth. Altman believes a 25-year-old in Mumbai today can do more than any 25-year-old could ever do before. He compared it with his own experience. He felt the same at 25 during the computer revolution. But, now, the tools available are far more powerful. 'A 25-year-old in Mumbai can probably do more than any previous 25-year-old in history could. It's really amazing what you can do with a tool like this,' Sam Altman said on the YouTube podcast People by WTF. 'A 25-year-old then could do things that no 25-year-old in history before would have been able to, and now that's happening in a huge way,' he added. Sam Altman mentions in the podcast that India is now OpenAI's second-largest market and may soon become the biggest. The company has taken feedback from Indian users on what they want. 'We've been able to put that into this model and upgrades to ChatGPT. So we're committed to continuing to work on that,' he said. With AI and modern technology, one person can do work that earlier needed decades of experience or whole teams, according to Sam. Even while building a company, the possibilities are enormous. 'The ability for one person to use these tools and have great ideas and implement them with what would have taken decades of experience or teams of people is really quite remarkable,' Sam Altman said while referring to AI tools like ChatGPT 5. The AI leader is especially hopeful about science. He believes artificial intelligence will speed up discoveries and change programming completely by enabling new kinds of software at an extraordinary scale. For startups, a small team can now achieve far more than before. According to him, the world today feels like an 'open canvas' where the only limit is the quality and creativity of ideas. 'If you have an idea for a new business, the ability for a very tiny team to do a huge amount of work is great. But, it feels like this is just now a very open canvas,' he said.
