While I wasn’t expecting a major design shakeup, Google revealed the design of its new Pixel phone, almost a month before the official launch event.
You can take a look for yourself on the front page of the Google Store. A short video teaser reveals one of the upcoming Pixel 10 smartphones. The device bears a similar appearance to the Pixel 9, with a back design that makes the camera unit protrude from the frame, similar to the Pixel 9 Pro. Oh, and an additional camera — if this is the base Pixel 10. Leaks suggest Google will equip all of its phones with telephoto cameras in 2025, but it’s still possible the phone in the video is a Pixel 10 Pro.
Under a month until we find out.

The news you might have missed
The next iPad Pro might have double front-facing cameras
A new portrait-side camera could exist separately.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple will add a second front-facing camera to the portrait edge of the upcoming iPad Pro, expected to launch later this year. In the past, iPad models only had one front-facing camera on the upper border in portrait, but Apple shifted this to the landscape side in 2024 with the iPad Pro M4. However, some users have found it trickier to use Face ID when holding the tablet vertically.
Beyond the additional camera, the new iPad Pro is expected to feature performance upgrades and improved power efficiency, thanks to an enhanced M5 chip. Previous reports suggest the tablet will launch in the second half of the year, but don’t expect them to feature Apple’s homemade modems — that’s an M6 project, reportedly.
Meta says it won’t sign the EU’s AI code of practice
Its global affairs officer called the guidelines an ‘over-reach.’
Meta won’t sign the European Union’s new AI code of practice. The guidelines provide a framework for the EU’s AI Act, which regulates companies operating in the European Union. There aren’t any business repercussions, and the code of practice is voluntary, so Meta was under no obligation to sign it.
“Europe is heading down the wrong path on AI,” Kaplan posted in a statement. “We have carefully reviewed the European Commission’s Code of Practice for general-purpose AI (GPAI) models, and Meta won’t be signing it.”
The first few days with the new Galaxy Watch 8
The hardware looks… good?
Senior Reporter Amy Skorheim’s four-day experience with the Galaxy Watch 8 has been promising. With a more comfortable design and a raised screen for improved scrolling, hardware improvements complement significant software additions, such as Google’s Gemini AI, which you can control directly from the watch. She loves the core functions, such as accurate workout tracking and a user-friendly Health app. However, the new antioxidant level detection feature didn’t show immediate results for her — it's worth noting you have to take the watch off to use the feature.
