Sony will join Microsoft and Nintendo in raising US prices across its entire game console lineup, the company announced today. Pricing for all current versions of the PlayStation 5 console will increase by $50 starting tomorrow.

Google has confirmed that all Pixel 10 models with at least 256GB of storage have newer UFS 4.0 chips.

Compared to UFS 3.1, UFS 4.0 offers much better transfer speeds (up to 2X) while consuming less power (up to 46% less), making it a no-brainer upgrade.

Announced at the Made by Google event, the Google Pixel 10 series will include Pixelsnap wireless charging.

The Pixel 10 Pro XL can wirelessly charge at up to 25 watts, while the base Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro are still limited to just 15 watts.

Announced at the Made by Google event, the biggest upgrade on the standard Pixel 10 is a new 10.8MP camera with a 5x optical zoom, joining the existing 48MP main and 13MP ultrawide cams.

This is the first time Google has ever put a dedicated zoom lens on a base Pixel.

Announced at the Made by Google event, the Pixel 10 Pro XL will retain the 6.8-inch Super Actua display like its predecessor. Memory and storage have received a boost as well, up to 16GB of RAM and as much as 1TB of storage.

Breaking: The One UI 8.0 Beta 4 update for the Galaxy S25 has just been released in the UK.
