The 5x telephoto finally makes the non-Pro Pixel a good camera phone (not the best), the compact-ish 6.3-inch Actua OLED looks fantastic in Indian conditions, and Google’s Tensor G5 keeps day-to-day feels snappy with useful AI on top.There have been early-life quirks (a “screen snow” glitch that was patched, and Daily Hub-a new dashboard-pulled for rework), but the platform has been…

While Roy Lee, the founder of Cluely, argues that startups should be thinking harder about social media virality, he also admits that brand awareness alone won’t lead to sustained growth. “I can’t say if it’s a mistake, but maybe we launched too early,” Lee said on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 last week. “The whole idea [was] let’s launch something that barely works, and if we can get enough initial users, they will find out the use cases for us.” Cluely burst onto the tech scene in April with rage bait marketing for a product it claimed would help users…

Toyota wants to be the first automaker to offer a solid-state battery (SSB) in a production car. Many companies claim to be close, and some have even started real-world testing, so the race appears neck-and-neck. Toyota says its production application of SSBs could arrive in 2027, although 2028 sounds more likely, and it may be deployed in a high-power sports car, possibly an electric successor to the Lexus LFA. The Japanese manufacturer hasn’t stated this directly, but it has hinted that the first production application of SSBs will be in a special vehicle. It could be in something like a…

For years, Australians have been been installing solar panels at a rapid clip. Now, that investment is paying off.  The Australian government announced this week that electricity customers in three states will get free electricity for up to three hours per day starting in July 2026.  Solar power has boomed in Australia in recent years. Rooftop solar installations cost about $840 (US) per kilowatt of capacity before rebates, about a third of what U.S. households pay. As a result, more than one in three Australian homes have solar panels on their roof. “Now we’re at the level where we can…

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is calling Google’s proposal in its antitrust settlement with the Fortnite maker a “comprehensive solution” that “genuinely doubles down” on Android’s vision of being an open platform. The companies on Tuesday reached a settlement that sees the search giant agreeing to Android app store reforms that include lowering fees and enabling more competition. Under the new proposal, which still requires the judge’s approval, Google will allow Android app developers to point users to alternative payment mechanisms inside their apps and through external web links. It also caps the fees Google is able to charge developers…

Google is rolling out some big Gemini-powered updates to its Maps app.  Google Maps is getting a conversational navigation feature that lets drivers ask complex questions.  You can find specific kinds of locations along your route and ask follow ups.  Gone are the days when AI chatbots were only good for composing sonnets about pooping your pants in the style of William Shakespeare. These systems are getting better at doing real, helpful things too.  On Wednesday, Google rolled out a bunch of updates to its Maps app that promise to use its Gemini chatbot to make navigating places just a…

Enterprises are overestimating the reliability of their cloud providers and need to rethink their cloud strategy, according to Sam Barker, vice president of telecoms market research at Juniper Research. He maintained in a company blog that enterprises over-rely on a single provider for their cloud services, although that may change in the wake of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage last month that disrupted a key database service and led to many services that rely on AWS also to suffer outages, including Disney+, Fortnite, HBO Max, Robinhood, Roblox, Slack, Venmo and Zoom. “Despite the disruption, Amazon’s stock remained relatively stable,…
