Google Pixel 10 series launching in 2 days and here is everything we know about it so far
The Pixel 10 Pro sticks closer to the formula but still has its share of upgrades. It will likely share the same Tensor G5 processor and software features as the other models, running on Android 16 out of the box. The battery size here is expected to be 4,870mAh, slightly smaller than the base Pixel 10. Design-wise, it is expected to keep the polished aluminium frame and curved corners, along with a 6.3-inch AMOLED display and a triple camera array at the back. Colour options are expected to include Moonstone, Obsidian, Jade and Porcelain.As for the Pixel 10 Pro XL, several leaked renders show it in Moonstone and Obsidian, with Porcelain and Jade also on the way. The device is expected to feature a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with slim bezels, a central hole-punch selfie camera, and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness (same as the Pixel 10 Pro). Inside, it is also expected to pack the Tensor G5 chip, 16GB RAM, up to 1TB of storage and a 5,200mAh battery with 39W fast wired charging. The rear cameras will likely include a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 48-megapixel telephoto, with the temperature sensor also making a return.advertisementThe most intriguing device of the lot is the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which Google has already teased in an official video. The teaser shows off the foldable in Moonstone, with Jade also tipped as an option. The cover display is now said to be 6.4 inches, made possible by slimmer bezels, and the battery is rumoured to have grown to 5,015mAh. Charging speeds are said to be 23W wired and 15W wireless through the Qi2 standard. Like its siblings, it will run on the Tensor G5 chip. While Google has kept full details under wraps for the launch event, the short teaser all but confirmed the design and camera setup.All four phones in the Pixel 10 are expected to share a consistent design language, but the differences lie in size, performance headroom, and camera systems. Pre-orders for the Pixel 10 family will likely open on launch day, with shipping expected to begin on August 28.- Ends

She studied at a top U.S. university, works as a senior techie at Google, yet H-1B visa jitters shadow her American dream
From Brown University to Big Tech You Might Also Like: US computer science degrees from top universities are leaving graduates jobless: Why is top coding education no longer enough? The Weight of Uncertainty Life Plans on Hold Another Risk in the Process — svembu (@svembu) For many, a degree from an Ivy League university and a career with global tech giants like Facebook and Google might sound like a perfect ticket to stability in the United States. For Indian-born Surbhi Madan, however, the story is more complicated. Despite 12 years in the US and nearly a decade at Google, she says the uncertainty of her H-1B visa status continues to shape her life in unexpected 30-year-old senior software engineer recently shared her story with Business Insider, offering a candid glimpse into the hidden insecurities behind a glittering résumé.Madan moved to the US in 2013 to pursue her bachelor's degree at Brown University, inspired by her elder brother's academic journey. After interning at Google's New York office, she secured a full-time role before graduation in 2017. Her first stroke of luck came when she won the H-1B visa lottery on her initial attempt.'I feel like I got really lucky when I compare it to the situation for recent graduates now,' she told Business career path has since been enviable: a stint with Facebook's feed-ranking team, followed by leadership roles in Google Maps infrastructure and AI integrations. But behind the professional success lies a quieter, more fragile working in the US for over a decade, Madan admits that her life often feels temporary. Everyday decisions—from apartment leases to community volunteering—are filtered through the lens of her visa status.'I refrain from volunteering because it means contacting my immigration lawyer to make sure it's safe,' she explained. Even driving mistakes or tax filing errors, she fears, could jeopardize her stay.A comment by a border officer once drove the point home: when she said she 'lived' in the US, the officer corrected her, saying, 'You don't live here; you work here.' The moment, she said, stayed with constraints of the H-1B system affect not only her career mobility but also her personal milestones. Madan has contemplated freezing her eggs but worried about whether she could access them if she lost her work authorization. 'I can't imagine having a person depend on me while I'm on a temporary status tied to having a job,' she ambitions beyond coding also face roadblocks. With a passion for teaching and mentoring women in tech , Madan has thought about transitioning into education, but her visa does not permit alternative career paths outside her sponsoring many immigrants in similar positions, Surbhi's experience underscores the paradox of the American dream: the country welcomes global talent but ties their future to the unpredictability of a lottery system.'I sit down once a year and ask myself if this is still worth it. So far, the answer has been yes,' Surbhi story adds to the growing debate about whether the US immigration system can keep pace with the realities of the modern workforce—especially when even top tech talent with world-class education faces long-term founder Sridhar Vembu recently highlighted another risk: the financial burden of overseas education. In a post on X, he shared the case of a student who borrowed ₹70 lakh (about $80,000) at a steep 12% interest rate to study at a relatively unknown US university, only to struggle repaying the loan amid poor job prospects. Vembu urged students and families to think twice before taking on such heavy debt, warning that 'we should not trap young people in debt in the name of education.'

Game-changer for parents? Pregnancy robots could make infertility a thing of the past
Agencies Representative AI Image Technology is moving faster than ever, and with each new step, it makes us question what we think is possible. Researchers in China are now working on an amazing new idea: robots that can carry babies. If this works, it could change how couples around the world get fertility treatments. The idea of "pregnancy robots," which are humanoids made to carry human babies in fake wombs, is the newest thing to spark a global debate. This amazing new idea is being worked on in China right now, and it could change everything for couples who are having trouble getting pregnant, according to a report by The New York Post. ALSO READ: iPhone 17 leak: Apple to hike prices $50 on pro models, regular model spared — here's what you will pay Dr. Zhang Qifeng, who started Kaiwa Technology in Guangzhou, came up with the idea. The idea is to put a fully developed artificial womb inside a humanoid robot. People already think that the design of the artificial womb is very advanced. It would get nutrients through a hose that was connected to the robot's abdomen. In theory, a fertilized egg could be put inside, and the fetus would grow just like it would in a normal pregnancy, taking nine to ten months to reach full term, according to a report by The New York Post. Dr. Qifeng told local media that the science behind the artificial womb is ready, but the next step is to combine it with robotics so that the process of pregnancy can happen inside a machine. Next year, the first prototype should be ready. One of the best things about pregnancy robots is that they are cheap. It is expected that hiring a humanoid surrogate will cost about 100,000 yuan ($13,927). In the US, where prices for traditional surrogacy range from $100,000 to $200,000, this is only a small part of the cost. This could be a much easier option for many couples who are having trouble getting pregnant or can't afford to hire a surrogate, according to a report by The New York project has already gotten a lot of attention from people all over the world because it would be the first time that technology goes from helping with pregnancy (like IVF) to actually carrying and giving birth to a baby. If it works, it could change how people around the world treat infertility. There will always be moral and legal questions about new technologies. How would fertilization and moving the embryo work in real life? How would a robot "give birth"? And maybe most importantly, how do we control a machine's role in making people?Dr. Qifeng said that many questions still need to be answered, but talks are already going on. To calm people's nerves, officials in Guangdong Province have held forums and are looking over policy proposals. People are worried about everything from the psychological effects of being born from a robot to how the technology might be misused, according to a report by The New York Post.

Google agrees $36 million fine for anti-competitive deals with Australia telcos
Google agreed on Monday to pay a A$55 million ($35.8 million) fine in Australia after the consumer watchdog found it had hurt competition by paying the country's two largest telcos to pre-install its search application on Android phones, excluding rival search engines. The fine extends a bumpy period for the Alphabet-owned internet giant in Australia, where last week a court mostly ruled against it in a lawsuit brought by Fortnite maker Epic Games accusing Google and Apple of preventing rival application stores in their operating systems. Google's YouTube was also last month added to an Australian ban on social media platforms admitting users aged under 16, reversing an earlier decision to exempt the video-sharing site. On anti-competitive tie-ups with Australian telcos, the country's consumer watchdog on Monday said Google struck deals with Telstra and Optus , under which the tech giant shared with them advertising revenue generated from Google Search on Android devices between late 2019 and early 2021. Google admitted the arrangement had a substantial impact on competition from rival search engines, and has stopped signing similar deals while also agreeing to the fine, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission ( ACCC ) added. "Today's outcome ... created the potential for millions of Australians to have greater search choice in the future, and for competing search providers to gain meaningful exposure to Australian consumers," ACCC Chair Gina-Cass Gottlieb said. Google and the ACCC have jointly submitted to the Federal Court that Google should pay the A$55 million fine. The court must still decide if the penalty is appropriate, the ACCC said, but the cooperation between the regulator and Google has helped avoid lengthy litigation. A Google spokesperson said the company was pleased to resolve the ACCC's concerns which involved "provisions that haven't been in our commercial agreements for some time". "We are committed to providing Android device makers more flexibility to pre-load browsers and search apps, while preserving the offerings and features that help them innovate, compete with Apple, and keep costs low," the spokesperson added. Google owns Android. A Telstra spokesperson referred Reuters to an earlier statement saying it and Optus, owned by Singapore Telecommunications, had fully cooperated with the ACCC and promised not to sign agreements with Google to pre-install its search product since 2024.
