New version of Gemini beats other AIs at math, science, and reasoning
This is according to a series of benchmark results posted by Google on Thursday. In short, Gemini 2.5 Pro beats chief competitors at nearly everything — though we're sure the companies behind those competitors would disagree.
According to Google's data, Gemini 2.5 Pro has a healthy lead over OpenAI o3, Claude Opus 4, Grok 3 Beta, and DeepSeek R1, in the Humanity's Last Exam benchmark, which evaluates a model's math, science, knowledge, and reasoning. It's also better at code editing (per the Aider Polyglot benchmark), and it wins over all competitors in several factuality benchmarks including FACTS Grounding, meaning it's less likely to provide factually inaccurate text.
The only benchmark in which Gemini 2.5 Pro isn't a clear winner is the mathematics-focused AIME 2025, and even there the differences between results are pretty small.

As a result of all the improvements in Gemini 2.5 Pro, this model is now on top of the LMArena leaderboard with a score of 1470.
There's a catch, though: The final version of Gemini 2.5 Pro isn't widely available yet. Google calls this latest version an "upgraded preview," with a stable version coming "in a couple of weeks." The preview should now be available in the Gemini app, though.

Lovense's Gemini Sex Toy Offers a Fresh Sensation in the Bedroom—No AI Needed
I've never had particularly sensitive nipples—except for the first time I went to a clothing-optional beach and failed to use enough sunblock—so I was excited to give the Lovense Gemini a try. No, it has nothing to do with Google's AI chatbot. These are vibrating nipple clamps from Lovense, and I've had great experience with many of the company's sex toys. Many of my partners have had sensitive nipples, so I was curious if I could join the ranks with the Gemini. Usually sold for less than $80, they're an inexpensive way to spice up the bedroom. Great for Enthusiasts and Beginners Courtesy of Amazon After I fully charged the Gemini, which takes about an hour or so, I used it on myself. What I love is that I can clip the base of the clamps to my bra (there's also a cord you can put around your neck if you don't wear a bra), making them 100 percent hands-free. The Gemini is app-controlled (Android, iOS), so I can lie back and play with the slew of intensities and patterns—surprisingly fun even though I was solo. When I added a bullet vibrator to the mix, the vibrations all over made everything even more exciting in a low-key, kinky sort of way. I also appreciate that the clamps are adjustable, so if you love a tight squeeze, a barely there hold, or somewhere in between, you have options. Unlike some of the more intimate toys I've reviewed, like the Luxus Couples Vibrator or the Lelo Ora 3, I was able to get input from a handful of people with the Gemini. Especially people I know who really (like, really ) love nipple play. As much as I enjoyed the vibrations and found the sensation interesting, the Gemini made me realize that, ultimately, I prefer that my nipples get attention from a partner's tongue or with a slight graze of their teeth. Of the three nipple-play aficionados I used the Gemini with—one straight and two gay men—all of them became immediate fans of the toy. They liked the hands-free design and the simplicity of the Lovense Remote app. To paint a picture of this experiment, I had the app in hand, and three men sat on the couch across from me, waiting for their turn to try the Gemini. (It's the closest I'll probably ever get to an orgy.) Each man had a different preference in intensity and patterns, as well as the tightness of the clamps, so I was able to see just how much the Gemini can be the perfect fit for anyone who's into nipple play. Easy to Use The Gemini is well-built, too. Not only is it waterproof—for all those times you're craving a proper buzz on your nips while in the shower—but you also get a whopping two hours of run time when it's fully charged. The device is discreet, in case you're into public play where one partner enjoys the vibrations, while the other controls what they want you to feel.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Which will be the better foldable?
We could have told you right at the start of the year that it would come down to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 against the Pixel 10 Pro for the best foldable phone of 2025. And while we've yet to see the Pixel in the proverbial flesh, the new folding Samsung has shown it has a high bar to clear. Since it arrived a few weeks ago, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has dazzled the tech world by showing Samsung is capable of making a foldable phone on a par with the exciting models made by Chinese companies who don't sell in the U.S. directly. The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is still not fully confirmed, but from what Google has shown us, and from what leakers from around the internet have said, it appears it could stand a chance even against the mighty Z Fold 7. Things will of course get shaken up by the time the Pixel 10 Pro Fold launches, and we will update this face-off once things are confirmed. But for now, here's what we know about the Pixel 10 Pro Fold compared to the official specs for the Galaxy Z Fold 7. We know that Pixel 10 series, including the Pro Fold, will be arriving as part of August 20th's Made by Google event. While the price was not confirmed by Google as part of its pre-announcement, there are rumors suggesting that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be cheaper than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold it will replace, dropping to $1,600 rather maintaining the current $1,800 pricing. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 made its debut in July, and is the company's most expensive foldable ever, starting at $1,999 / £1,799 / AU$2,899. If Google does drop the price of its foldable, any performance difference between it and the Z Fold could be easily forgiven by users wanting a good deal. Samsung astonished the tech world with just how big a leap it made over the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The displays are larger (8 inches within, and 6.5 inches on the outside), while the device as a whole is thinner and lighter. It's likely that it'll be lighter than the new Google foldable too, already weighing over 15% lighter than the current Pixel 9 Pro Fold. To counter the Z Fold 7's giant leap, Google could improve the size of the new Pixel foldable's outer display from 6.3 inches to 6.4 inches by decreasing the borders around it rather than up-sizing the whole phone, meaning more screen space without enlarging the phone's body. The inner (8-inch) and outer screens could be even brighter too thanks to an upgrade to Google's already super-bright Super Actua display technology, taking the phone to 3,000 nits at peak brightness. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Perhaps more notably, Google could manage to give the Pixel 10 Pro Fold an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, something we've not yet seen a foldable phone manage. The Galaxy Z Fold 7's IP48 rating is pretty good, but provides less protection against dust intrusion than an IP68 rating, achieved by the vast majority of regular premium smartphones, signifies. Google may only sell the Pixel 10 Pro in two color options once again, this year going for Moonstone blue/grey and Jade green according to the rumors. Samsung offers double that number of colors, with a base selection of Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow and Jet Black, plus a Samsung Store-exclusive Mint color. Samsung made two major upgrades to the Galaxy Z Fold 7's photography abilities: a new 200MP main camera, and a new punch-hole 10MP camera in the main display, replacing the old under-display sensor of previous Z Folds. This has resulted in the most capable camera array on any Samsung foldable so far. That's bad news for Google, as there are no camera changes predicted for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. This would land users with 48MP main camera, 10.8MP ultrawide, and 10.5MP 5x telephoto cameras on the back, and 10MP front-facing cameras inside and out, which is still a strong collection of sensor options. This makes the chance of the Z Fold 7 outperforming the new Pixel Fold with its camera a more likely possibility. Google's rumored Tensor G5 chips will power all its Pixel 10 devices, including the Pro Fold. We're hoping this chip has noticeably improved performance over the Tensor G4 in the current Pixels, thanks to it adopting the same 3-nanometer manufacturing process as the latest Qualcomm and Apple-designed chips. Joining the Tensor G5 will be 16GB RAM according to the rumors, which also allege that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be the first Google foldable to offer 1TB of storage alongside the default 256GB and 512GB options, matching the three available storage capacities of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Samsung used a custom edition of the latest Snapdragon flagship chip, the 8 Elite For Galaxy, in the Galaxy Z Fold 7. It's a mighty chip that the Tensor G5 could struggle to beat on raw power. Samsung is a little stingier with RAM than Google is thought to be though, with the Z Fold 7 coming with 12GB RAM in the 256GB and 512GB versions, only offering 16GB with the range-topping 1TB edition. Frustratingly, for all the upgrades that Samsung made to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, no changes were made to the battery or charging specs. It still has 4,400 mAh of capacity, a maximum of 25W wired charging or 15W wireless charging, and a battery life of under 11 hours on the TG custom battery test. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is tipped to get a battery size increase from 4,650 mAh to 5,015 mAh, and could receive Qi2 wireless charging and related accessories. Both of these are welcome changes that could help Google make up ground against Samsung. Samsung introduced One UI 8 with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, enabling features like a side-by-side view for features like AI editing, and improved AI capabilities for Bixby and Gemini. Sadly, at the same time, Samsung pulled stylus support for the Z Fold 7's inner display, taking away one of the most unique abilities of Samsung foldables. Google won our recent AI phone face-off, but from what we've heard, it won't be standing still with features for the Pixel 10 series. This will include a rumored camera assistant to help you line up better shots, but likely much more besides. Samsung still offers seven years of full updates for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, as it has for flagship devices for the past few years. We'd expect Google to do the same, since all Pixels launched since the Pixel 8 series have offered seven years of Android and security updates. We already know that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is excellent, so it's going to be hard for Google to take the spotlight with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. But there are a few openings that Google might be able to exploit, going by the leaks we've seen to date. While the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may have superior cameras, displays and a slicker overall design, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could undercut Samsung on price, while also beating it on battery capacity and AI capabilities. It's going to be a great fight, whichever phone ends up winning, and we can't wait to put these two phones against each other for real once the Pixel 10 Pro Fold launches.

How to watch Google's Pixel 10 event
Believe it or not, Big Tech's fall hardware events are already upon us. (Heck, Samsung already got a jump on things in July.) Up next: Google's big Pixel shindig. You can learn all about the new Pixel 10 lineup, along with new watches and earbuds, on August 20. Google's new hardware has leaked far and wide. But that doesn't mean there couldn't be a few surprises. If you want to be the first to hear the official scoop, you can tune into the Made by Google YouTube channel (or right here!). The event kicks off at 1PM ET on August 20. What's on tap? You can expect a more power-efficient Tensor G5 processor in all the new Pixel 10 phones. (That could help power new Gemini AI features, too.) The base-level Pixel 10 should get a big camera upgrade: a 5x telephoto lens. Before this generation, you had to splurge on a Pro or Fold model to get optical zoom. Cameras will be higher-res across the board, too. In other areas, Qi2 magnetic charging is expected to come to the new Pixels. Expect a new accessory ecosystem, a la Apple's MagSafe, dubbed "Pixelsnap." We'll also likely see the Pixel Watch 4 with a larger battery and smaller bezels. And the Pixel Buds 2a could bring refinements to the company's budget earbuds. Engadget's Pixel 10 roundup will give you a much more detailed dive into the leaks. You can head back here on August 20 at 1PM ET to watch live.
