Google Pixel 10 series: Here is what you can expect from its launch in India
Google Pixel 10 Series leaks: The Google Pixel 10 series is officially launching on August 20, marking another major release in Google's flagship smartphone lineup. With the event scheduled well ahead of the Pixel 9 launch cycle, the Pixel 10 is expected to bring major upgrades, including the new Tensor G5 chip built on TSMC's 3nm process. Leaks and insider reports hint at a polished design, improved performance, and tighter integration with Google's AI ecosystem. The early launch suggests Google may be aiming to take on the iPhone 16 head-on in global markets. For users in the US, UK, Canada, and other Tier 1 countries, this Pixel update might be the most significant yet. Here's a complete breakdown of everything known so far about the Pixel 10, including specs, design, chip, and global availability. Google Pixel 10 series launch date in India On August 20, the next Made by Google event will occur in New York, where the company promises 'the latest on our Pixel phones, watches, buds, and more.' The sole confirmed hardware detail? At least one of the phones in the Pixel 10 lineup will closely resemble the design of the Pixel 9 Pro, including features like the signature camera bar and integrated temperature sensor. Everything else, including specifications and model names, is provided by the leaks. If the reports are accurate, we will receive four phones this time: the standard Pixel 10, the 10 Pro, a larger 10 Pro XL, and the second-generation foldable, the 10 Pro Fold. Should the leaked renders from Android Headlines prove to be correct, Google is playing around with colours this year. Google Pixel 10 series expected specifications AI Upgrades Of course, no Pixel launch would be complete without some AI involvement. It has been reported that Google is working on new tools such as Speak-to-Tweak, which allows you to edit photos using only your voice, and Sketch-to-Image, which creates AI-generated images from your sketches. A new virtual assistant named Pixel Sense is also on the way. This on-device AI, formerly speculated to be named Pixie, will draw information from your Google apps to foresee your desires, provide recommendations ahead of your inquiries, and perform actions without relying on cloud storage. Colour The standard Pixel 10 comes in a striking and whimsical color palette: alongside the typical black "Obsidian" hue, there will be a deep Indigo, a frosty light blue, and a vibrant lime-green named Limoncello. In contrast, the Pro models opt for a more conservative approach, featuring subdued colors such as Porcelain, Jade, and Moonstone in addition to the traditional black. Interestingly, the foldable model completely omits black. The launch of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be limited to "Moonstone" and "Jade". Camera The big surprise? The entry-level Pixel 10 also comes with three rear cameras: a wide, an ultrawide, and a telephoto lens. However, don't go overboard. In order to fit the telephoto lens without increasing costs, Google has chosen to use smaller main and ultra-wide sensors that are not as advanced. As reported by Android Authority, these will be the identical sensors utilized in the Pixel 9a. Thus, although you acquire a zoom lens, you might sacrifice some low-light performance. In contrast, the Pro models retain the superior hardware from the Pixel 9 Pro, meaning there will be a clear difference in image quality. It is speculated that the 10 Pro Fold's cameras will be a combination of elements: the main and telephoto sensors will be akin to those used in the standard Pixel 10, but they will represent an enhancement over those found in the previous generation of the Fold. Processor Each year comes with a quicker processor, but this year's upgrade is a genuine leap forward. It is reported that Google's Tensor G5 chip will shift from Samsung's manufacturing to TSMC, employing the same 3nm technology that Apple uses for the A18 Pro chip in the iPhone 16 Pro. When combined with an updated core layout, this could result in a significant enhancement of performance and efficiency, aiding Pixel phones in narrowing the gap with rivals powered by Apple and Qualcomm. Google Pixel 10 series expected price Google has not yet disclosed the prices or detailed features for the upcoming Pixel 10 series, but initial speculation suggests that the new models may be priced similarly to their predecessors. The anticipated starting price for the standard Pixel 10 in India is approximately Rs 79,999, while the Pixel 10 Pro is expected to be priced near Rs 99,999. The bigger Pixel 10 Pro XL might experience a slight increase, possibly exceeding the Rs 1,02,000 threshold. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is speculated to be less expensive this year, with a potential launch price of around Rs 1,36,500, which marks a substantial decrease from the previous year's price of Rs 1,72,999.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov on French probe against Elon Musk's Twitter: ‘At this point, any tech company…'
French authorities are investigating Elon Musk owned X (formerly Twitter) for alleged algorithm manipulation. The social media platform denied the allegations, calling it 'a politically-motivated criminal investigation'. Responding to the news, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has now shared an X post where he said that 'at this point, any tech company can be declared a 'criminal gang' in France". Durov further stated that such investigations can be harmful for attracting investments. 'A decade of efforts to attract tech investment is being undone by a few bureaucrats advancing their careers and political agendas — at the expense of the French people,' he wrote in the post. Why French lawmakers are probing Twitter Earlier this month, French prosecutors opened a preliminary probe into the social media platform, accusing it of data tampering. Based on suspected algorithmic bias and fraudulent data extraction, the probe authorizes police to conduct searches, wiretaps and surveillance against Elon Musk and Twitter executives, or summon them to testify. If they do not comply, a judge could issue an arrest warrant, a Reuters report said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Translation of all Languages Translation of all Languages | Search Ads Search Now Undo Twitter responds to French probe Responding to the probe, X Global Government Affairs account wrote on X: 'French authorities have launched a politically-motivated criminal investigation into X over the alleged manipulation of its algorithm and alleged 'fraudulent data extraction.'

‘They simply don't': Elon Musk renew concerns over OpenAI's ability to fund $500 billion Stargate project
Elon Musk Tesla CEO Elon Musk has once again expressed his skepticism over Stargate – a $500 billion AI project that involves OpenAI , Oracle , Microsoft and Softbank. An X (formerly Twitter) user NIK @ns123abc recently shared a post where he wrote 'OpenAI and Softbank at odds struggling with Stargate project after 6 months of delay and have sharply scaled back its near-term plans,' quoting a report by The Wall Street Journal. To this, Musk replied 'They simply don't,' reaffirming his doubts about whether companies involved in AI projects (OpenAI and Softbank specifically as mentioned in the post) actually have the money to make it work. President Trump announced the $500 billion AI project, called 'Stargate' in January early this year to develop AI infrastructure in the United States. Shortly after the announcement, Elon Musk raised doubts over the financial capabilities of the companies. Questioning the funding, Musk responded to an OpenAI post about deploying $100 billion. He then said, 'They don't actually have the money.' 'SoftBank has well under $10B secured. I have that on good authority,' he stated in another post. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman then responded to Musk, saying 'wrong, as you surely know. want to come visit the first site already under way? this is great for the country. i realize what is great for the country isn't always what's optimal for your companies, but in your new role i hope you'll mostly put 🇺🇸 first.'

'Uber continues to suffer...': Company files third lawsuit over fake insurance claims in US
Uber has filed a lawsuit against a group of lawyers and medical providers in Los Angeles, US, over alleged fraudulent insurance claims , a report claims. The latest litigation reportedly marks the third such lawsuit the ride-hailing giant has filed this year. According to a report by Bloomberg, Uber has claimed that these activities have cost the company millions in legal fees and that the "scheme remains ongoing, and Uber continues to suffer." The federal case, which was filed in the central district of California, accuses the defendants of directing passengers to "pre-selected medical providers" who then submitted inflated bills for treating minor or non-existent injuries from minor collisions that occurred between 2019 and 2024. Uber alleges that the personal injury lawyers involved exploited a state-mandated $1 million rideshare insurance policy limit by fraudulently inducing "significantly larger settlement payments." In one instance, the company stated a medical bill was 10 times the typical amount. What Uber wants from this lawsuit This lawsuit aims to "recover the full extent" of the millions of dollars in defence costs and settlements resulting from these alleged schemes. In addition to its legal action, Uber is also supporting state legislation that seeks to lower insurance coverage limits for rideshare companies. Earlier this year, Uber filed similar racketeering lawsuits in New York and Florida as part of a broader campaign to reduce rising insurance costs, which the company says are passed on to customers through higher fares. This has contributed to a continued slowdown in Uber's US rideshare business, the company has said. According to Uber, insurance costs can make up around 32% of fares in California and as much as 45% in Los Angeles County, which are among the higher rates in the country. In response, the company has invested heavily in local and national advertising this year to advocate for changes to insurance regulations. Last week, Uber voiced 'strong support' for a California senate bill aimed at reducing the minimum requirements for uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage offered by rideshare companies. As per a recent testimony from Ramona Prieto, Uber rival Lyft's Director of Policy has also backed the proposed legislation. Uber has also seen some movement on this front. In June, the New York City Council approved a bill the company supported that reduced insurance requirements for taxis and rideshare drivers under personal injury protection coverage.
