What’s happened? A recent report claims to have revealed the Google Pixel 10 prices ahead of the official August 20 launch. It lists every storage variant and price option from the entry-level handset all the way up to the pricey Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and there’s good news for anyone thinking about picking up one of the upcoming handsets.
This is important because: This is the first comprehensive Pixel 10 price leak we’ve seen, and if it rings true it will go against some previous reports that Google might raise prices of its flagship phone series this year.
Why should I care? If you’re considering an upgrade to one of the new Pixel 10 series handsets, news of prices remaining the same as the 2024 series will be a big positive.
Okay, what’s next? Well, we’re just a few weeks away from the Made by Google event on August 20, when all will be revealed – including the confirmed pricing for the Pixel 10 series. Fingers crossed this pricing leak is accurate.
A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well.
Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps.
There's nothing quite like curling up with a good book on a cold evening. As much as I love the feel of a physical book, books take up a lot of space, and carrying more than one on a trip quickly becomes a chore. That's where e-readers come in, and the Amazon Kindle remains one of the best options.
Amazon just refreshed its Kindle lineup with thinner, lighter designs, a new flush-front display, and colors that wrap from front to back. Add the Kindle Scribe and the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft to the mix, and you have more choices than ever before.
A good Android app should earn its place on your phone. It might make an everyday task easier, handle something the built-in software can't, or let you change an experience that never quite worked for you.
These 20 apps cover everything from quick notes and password management to automation and local file sharing. Some are free, others charge for advanced features, and a few take some effort to figure out. The point isn't to install them all. It's to find the ones that make your phone work better for you.
