Google Pixel 10 series to launch on 20 August: Livestream timings and what to expect
The launch event will commence at 1:00 PM Eastern Time (ET) in the United States. Viewers in Dubai can tune in at 9:00 PM GST, while those in India can watch the event from 10:30 PM IST on the same day.
The livestream will be accessible via Google's official YouTube channel, as well as through the company's Made by Google website, allowing global audiences to follow the announcements in real time.
Design-wise, the new Pixel 10 range is expected to retain much of the familiar aesthetic from its predecessors. Despite the lack of radical design changes, the internal upgrades appear to be the main focus of this generation.
All models are likely to be powered by the Google Tensor G5 chipset, which is expected to offer significant performance improvements. The series could also feature increased RAM and expanded storage options to meet current user demands.
The standard Pixel 10 variant is tipped to undergo a notable shift in its camera setup. Reports suggest that the device will likely adopt a triple-lens configuration, including the addition of a telephoto sensor, a feature previously reserved for Pro models. While the camera hardware in the base model is rumoured to be toned down compared to the premium variants, the inclusion of the third lens hints at a strategic repositioning of Google's entry-level flagship.
Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will likely compete directly with foldable devices such as Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7, signalling Google's continued push into the foldable market segment.
More details will be confirmed during the launch event on 20 August.

Electronics exports from India likely safe from US tariff hike—for now
Indian exporters of electronics products, such as smartphones, laptops, servers, tablets etc, are unlikely to be affected immediately by the latest US duties. The products fall under the Section 232 tariffs that are going to come up for review in the coming weeks, officials aware of the details told ET. As of now, electronics exporters don't pay any duties for sending shipments to the US. "Until the 232 tariffs are announced, there won't be any impact on exports of smartphones like that of Apple, Samsung, Motorola etc to the US," said a person privy to the details.

Google to invest $6 billion in 1-GW data centre project in Andhra Pradesh
Google will invest $6 billion to develop a 1-gigawatt data centre and its power infrastructure in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh in the Alphabet unit's first such investment in India, government sources said on Wednesday. Due to be built in the port city of Visakhapatnam, the data centre investment includes $2 billion in renewable energy capacity that will be used to power the facility, two Andhra Pradesh government sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters. The search giant's data centre will be the largest in capacity and investment size in Asia and is part a multi-billion-dollar expansion of its data centre portfolio across the region in countries including Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. In April, Alphabet said it was still committed to spending some $75 billion this year to build data centre capacity despite the economic uncertainty resulting from U.S. President Donald Trump's global tariff offensive. Alphabet did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment. Andhra Pradesh's information technology minister Nara Lokesh, who is in Singapore to discuss investments with thegovernment and business leaders there, did not comment on the Google investment. "We've made certain announcements like Sify, which are public," he said, referring to a 550-MW data centre Sify Technologies plans to build in the state. "There are certain announcements which are not yet public. In October, we will make those announcements." Andhra Pradesh, a state run by a leading ally of India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was split into two in 2014, losing its former capital Hyderabad and a major revenue source to the newly created Telangana state. Andhra Pradesh has since been looking to attract investments to ease the financial strains of high debt and social spending. Lokesh said Andhra Pradesh has already been able to finalise investments in data centres with total capacity of 1.6 GW, adding that it aims to build 6 GW of data centres over the next five years from nearly zero currently. He expects the initial 1.6 GW of already agreed data centres to be operational in the next 24 months. That would be more than the 1.4 GW currently in operation in the entire country, according to real estate consultancy Anarock. "We're also working on getting three cable landing stations in Visakhapatnam. We want to create enough of cable network, which will be two times what Mumbai has today," Lokesh said. Cable landing stations - typically located close to data centres requiring fast and reliable connections to global networks - are used to store equipment which receives and relays data from undersea cables. Lokesh also said the state was looking to build up energy infrastructure to meet sustainability requirements of data centres. He said he anticipated power generation capacity requirements of as much as 10 GW from the electricity-intensive industry over the next five years. "Majority will end up being actually green energy, and that's the unique value proposition that we bring to the table," he said. Some of the additional capacity will be coal-fired, however, as data centres require reliable, high volume power throughout the day, he added.
