Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold Review A Tanky Powerhouse Arrives Following the launch of the main Pixel 10 lineup, Google has unveiled its new foldable smartphone. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is being described as a beast, which might not be the first descriptor you want for a sleek mobile device. It is noticeably thicker than its primary rival, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. However, by avoiding the race for extreme thinness, Google has endowed its foldable with some significant advantages. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold boasts the best camera system on any foldable phone to date. It also features enhanced durability, having achieved the top dust resistance rating. This is a notable feat for a foldable device. Priced at one thousand eight hundred dollars, it also includes PixelSnap, Google’s answer to Apple’s MagSafe, and a larger battery than its predecessor. In other gadget news, Razer has updated its massive eighteen inch gaming laptop. As expected, it packs immense power and maintains the company’s reputation for excellent build quality. It also includes a generous selection of ports. The laptop starts at two thousand seven hundred ninety nine dollars. Nintendo recently spent a week puzzling its fans. The company released a mysterious, Pixar-style animated short on its Today app featuring a baby and a magical pacifier. No context was given. The mystery was solved with a second version of the short that clearly showed tiny Pikmin creatures moving the baby’s blocks and pacifier, confirming the project is related to the Pikmin franchise. It remains unclear if this is for a new game or an animated project. In console news, Sony and AMD have teased the graphics technology they are developing for the next PlayStation. In a new video, PlayStation 5 lead designer Mark Cerny and AMD’s Jack Huynh discussed a collection of technologies under the name Project Amethyst. They emphasized that these technologies are still in the simulation phase. The teased improvements include advanced upscaling, better ray tracing, and other machine learning-based rendering techniques. One key concept is Universal Compression, which would extend the PS5’s existing compression tech to compress everything in the graphics pipeline, potentially saving memory bandwidth and power. Finally, due to the massive box office success of A Minecraft Movie, which has grossed nearly a billion dollars globally, a sequel is officially in the works. Warner Bros. has scheduled the follow-up film for a July 23, 2027 release.
