Pixel 10 Pro Fold Leak Reveals Full Specs, IP68 Dustproof Rating
According to details shared by WinFuture, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will feature an IP68 rating, offering complete dust protection and the ability to withstand continuous submersion in water. This rumoured feature, now seemingly confirmed, could give Google's flagship foldable a notable advantage over rivals like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Motorola's Razr Ultra, which lack full dustproofing.
The device sports a slightly larger 6.4-inch external display compared to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold's 6.3 inches. Both the internal and external screens boast enhanced brightness, increasing from 2,700 nits to an impressive 3,000 nits. Wireless charging support is included with the 15W Qi2 standard, though it skips the faster 25W charging announced last month.
While the camera hardware appears unchanged, the telephoto lens now supports 10x optical zoom — a significant leap from the previous 5x limit. With these upgrades, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could set a new standard for premium foldable smartphones. Full leaked specs are available via WinFuture's detailed report.

Google to pay $36 million after striking deals that shut out rival search engines in Australia
Google on Monday agreed to pay AUD 50 million (USD 35.8 million) to the country's consumer watchdog after it was found that its deal with Australia's two largest telecom operators to pre-install Google Search on Android phones — while excluding rival search engines — had hurt competition in the market. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) stated that it has begun proceedings in the Federal Court against Google's Asia-Pacific division. The court will now decide whether the AUD 50 million penalty is appropriate. Under Google's anti-competitive agreements, Telstra and Optus pre-installed only Google Search on Android phones sold to customers for 15 months until March 2021. The telecom operators excluded other search engines and, in return, received a share of the advertising revenue that Google generated from those customers. Telstra, Optus, and their rival TPG agreed last year to court-enforceable undertakings with the ACCC, pledging not to renew or enter into similar deals with Google that limit search options for customers. Google itself accepted that the agreements with telecom operators were likely to have resulted in 'substantially lessening competition,' the commission said in its release. The tech giant has also signed an undertaking with the ACCC, committing to remove certain pre-installations and default search engine restrictions from its contracts with Android phone manufacturers and telecom companies. ACCC chair Gina-Cass Gottlieb in a release about the fine said, 'Conduct that restricts competition is illegal in Australia because it usually means less choice, higher costs or worse service for consumers,' ACCC Chair Gina-Cass Gottlieb said. 'Importantly, these changes come at a time when AI search tools are revolutionising how we search for information, creating new competition,' Gottlieb added. Notably, a US federal court had also found Google guilty of maintaining a monopoly in the online search market through anti-competitive agreements with mobile carriers and device manufacturers. As per earlier reports, Google pays Apple around USD 20 billion annually to remain the default search engine on iPhones. Meanwhile, an Australian court also partially ruled against Google in a lawsuit brought by Fortnite maker Epic Games, which accuses both Apple and Google of preventing rival app stores from operating on their systems.

Ally Solos: These smart glasses use AI to help low-vision users see the world around them
Imagine a pair of smart glasses specifically designed for blind and low-vision users, allowing them to perceive the world around them. It's no longer science fiction: it's now a reality, thanks to artificial intelligence. This has been made possible by Envision, a startup founded by Karthik Mahadevan, who serves as the company's CEO, and Karthik Kannan, who serves as the CTO. Both Mahadevan and Kannan studied at the College of Engineering, with Mahadevan later earning a master's degree in Industrial and Product Design from Delft University of Technology. Their company has partnered with eyewear brand Solos to launch a new generation of smart glasses specifically tailored for blind and low-vision users. Dubbed Ally Solos Glasses, they can read text, describe the environment, perform web searches, and even recognize people, signs, and objects—all through audio cues delivered via built-in speakers. These glasses are built using the same frame as the AirGo Vision glasses that Solos launched last December, featuring multimodal AI and a ChatGPT-powered voice assistant. While much of the design remains similar, the Ally Solos glasses use Envision's own AI assistant, 'Ally,' instead of GPT-4o. This assistant is powered by a combination of foundational AI models, including Meta's Llama, OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Perplexity, according to the Ally website. The glasses also feature 2K resolution camera sensors on the frames to process visual information and connect via the Ally app on iOS and Android. The glasses have P67 rating for protection from dust and water, and USB-C chargeable ear stems that provide 'up to 16 hours of active use' on a single charge. It takes around 90 minutes to fully charge the ear stems, with 15 minutes of fast-charging providing around three hours of battery life. The basic idea behind the glasses is that the built-in cameras 'see for you,' enabling them to read menus, describe the environment, or even recognize people and objects through spoken commands. Although they are marketed primarily to blind and low-vision users, anyone can use these glasses, for example, to access translation features or scan and capture documents using the cameras. The Ally Solos Glasses are available for pre-order at a special launch price of $399, discounted from the regular price of $699. The frames come in two sizes (regular and large) and are available in black, gray, or brown. Shipping for pre-orders is expected to begin in October 2025. In recent years, major tech companies have been focusing on accessibility technology by either launching dedicated products or adding accessible features to mainstream devices. For example, Apple's Live Speech feature allows users to type what they want to say and have it spoken aloud across their Apple products, while Eye Tracking enables people to control their iPhone or iPad using just their eyes. Similarly, Google is using AI to power features like Guided Frame, which helps blind and low-vision Pixel users take well-framed photos through audio and haptic cues, as well as Lookout, which can identify objects and generate detailed image descriptions. Meta's Ray-Ban glasses, for instance, are already helping blind users navigate the world with greater ease.
