Soccer (also called Football by everyone except US people) is one of the fastest-growing sporting events in the US. With superstars like Lionel Messi coming to Inter Miami, more people around the globe become viewers of Major League Soccer (MLS). Meanwhile, women’s soccer in the US is also on the rise. Google is now using this opportunity to promote Pixel devices.
Google has announced a multi-year partnership with the US National Women’s Soccer League to promote Pixel phones. The Pixel devices are now the “Official Fan Phone” of NWSL and provide fans with exclusive content, game highlights, and information about teams and players.
Google Pixel is now the official phone of the US National Women’s Soccer League
As per Google’s announcement, the NWSL’s social media channels will rely on Pixel’s leading AI-powered camera to capture moments. The “Pitchside with Pixel” program also shares behind-the-scenes moments with Pixel users watching the US women’s soccer matches. Google’s partnership covers the NWSL Playoffs and Championship.
“We are thrilled to welcome Google, a global leader in groundbreaking innovation and connectivity, to the NWSL family as our postseason and LCC content sponsor,” said NWSL Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer Julie Haddon.
This is not the first time Google has sponsored a sporting league to promote Pixel devices. The tech firm announced a partnership with the NBA in 2021 and extended the contract following the Pixel 8 Pro launch.
Similarly, Google Pixel is the “Official Fan Phone of the NBA.” Google also sponsors Women’s Basketball and Women’s World Cup (FIBA) to promote Pixel devices. In soccer, Google is the official partner of Arsenal and Liverpool Football Club in the English Premier League.
The collaboration between Google Pixel and the NWSL comes at a time when women’s sports are gaining increased recognition and visibility on a global scale. By sponsoring women’s events, Google can further promote its gender equality programs and give women a better chance of recognition.
What many thought was a bug has turned out to be a move made on purpose by Apple as the latter will not allow web apps on the iOS Home Screen in the European Union. On its Developer support page (via 9to5Mac), Apple notes that the EU’s Digital Market Act (DMA) requires it to allow users to select a browser that doesn’t use Apple’s WebKit browser engine for the first time. Because of this, Apple said that it had to remove the Home Screen web apps.
Apple says Home Screen web apps on iOS are built on WebKit and they “align with the privacy and security model for native apps on iOS.” This is important and Apple goes on to say, “That integration means Home Screen web apps are managed to align with the security and privacy model for native apps on iOS, including isolation of storage and enforcement of system prompts to access privacy impacting capabilities on a per-site basis.”
However, without this isolation and enforcement, malicious web apps could read data from other web apps and even use their permissions to access the user’s camera and microphone without his or her consent. Browsers could also install web apps without the consent or awareness of the user.
Apple’s new support page explains how iOS will allow the use of alternative browser engines in the EU
Apple adds, “Addressing the complex security and privacy concerns associated with web apps using alternative browser engines would require building an entirely new integration architecture that does not currently exist in iOS and was not practical to undertake given the other demands of the DMA and the very low user adoption of Home Screen web apps. And so, to comply with the DMA’s requirements, we had to remove the Home Screen web apps feature in the EU.”
Apple adds, “EU users will be able to continue accessing websites directly from their Home Screen through a bookmark with minimal impact to their functionality.” The tech giant also was forced to remove support for Home Screen web apps on Safari in the EU because the DMA requires equality for all browsers. Since third-party browsers can’t have Home Screen web apps, neither can Safari.
The absence of Home Screen web apps in the EU was first noticed with the release of iOS 17.4 beta 2. The changes will come to all iOS users in the 27 member EU states once iOS 17.4 is released in the first week of March.
Being the CEO of a tech company worth trillions of dollars isn’t certainly a job for everyone and requires a high level of commitment and conscientiousness. That’s why these CEOs are taking home tens of millions of dollars a year. But have you ever wondered what gadgets these CEOs use? It’s pretty predictable that the Apple CEO only uses iPhones. But what about Google whose operating system is used by dozens of companies?
Believe it or not, Google CEO is using over 20 different phones
In a recent interview, Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed he uses over 20 different smartphones simultaneously, and the reason behind this habit is apparent. Currently, Android has over three billion active users, and in 2015, Google announced nearly 1,300 brands have produced over 24,000 distinct Android devices.
Since Android runs on most of the best-selling phones, Pichai wants to ensure Google services and apps are working properly on every device. He might also want to determine changes that need to be made on future Android releases.
Google CEO didn’t mention the names of the 20 phones he used at the same time. However, devices from popular brands like Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, etc, are the most likely options. It also won’t be surprising to see Pichai using an iPhone to monitor his company’s biggest rival.
Sundar Pichai encourages users & parents to enable two-factor authentication
Meanwhile, Sundar Pichai encourages Android users to enable two-factor authentication instead of changing their passwords. Pichai believes this could be a more secure method to keep accounts safe. Additionally, he suggested parents should set personal limits rather than strict rules to keep their kids off the phone.
In another part of his interview, Pichai talked about the importance of AI and even compared it with fire and electricity.
Pichai’s speech comes at a time when Google staff are raising their voice against his way of governing the company. For instance, a staff software engineer at Google has recently criticized the company for lacking a visionary leader. The employee also alluded to the burnouts and lack of passion among company staff that stems from weak leadership.
A new feature has been added to Google Messages that really drives home the point that you’re trying to make with a text message. Called Screen Effects, it delivers animation in the background of a message when certain phrases are sent or received. The animation takes up the entire background, and while the feature has only a small number of trigger phrases at the moment, you can only see this in action if you are a beta tester for the Google Messages app.
Luckily, I am a beta tester for Google Messages so Screen Effects works for me. For example, I texted the phrase “I Love You” and hearts appeared in the background until a dove flew north leaving a white trail which became the regular background for the app. The entire animated effect ran for about 10 seconds. If you type “Sounds good,” multiple giant thumbs up appear all over the background.
Google says that there are more than 15 phrases that trigger a Screen Effect on Google Messages and they work whether you are messaging another Android-toting RCS user, or an Android user connected to the SMS platform using a non-RCS messaging app. If Screen Effects is too much for you (and granted, they are not for everyone), we’d love to tell you how to disable it on the app. Except that you cannot disable the feature.
Screen effects for I Love You and Sounds Good. The feature is now available to those registered as a Google Messages beta tester
If Google is still accepting users to be beta testers for Google Messages, go to the Play Store listing for the Google Messages app, choose “Become a Tester,” and follow the instructions. Back in the day when I used Android as my daily driver 99% of the time, I made sure to become a beta tester for core Google apps because you’re sure to get a head start on receiving new features like Screen Effects.
The Play Store listing for Google Messages will also let you know if you’re already a beta tester for the app. On the listing, if you are already registered as a beta tester for Google Messages, you’ll see a paragraph with the heading, “You’re a beta tester.”
A few days back, Samsung obtained a regulatory certification for the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s batteries. The next-gen Fold has also joined the party. Korean certification agency Safety Korea recently certified one of the batteries for the Galaxy Z Fold 6. A live photo published on its website revealed a pull tab for easy removal of the battery.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6’s battery is certified with a pull tab
Samsung usually begins collecting regulatory approvals for key components for its upcoming devices a few months ahead of the launch. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 are expected to debut in late July or early August, so it is about time the company embarks on this journey. As expected, it has started collecting the certifications for the foldable duo.
Safety Korea certified a battery pack for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with the model number EB-BF957ABY L (the device bears the model number SM-F956). It appears to be the smaller of the two batteries that will go inside the foldable, though we can’t confirm until we see the other unit. The certification doesn’t reveal the battery capacity, while the attached image is too blurry to reveal its mAh rating.
However, we can see a pull tab over it, so removing the battery will require less force. While this isn’t a new concept, Samsung was relatively slow to adopt it. The company has been guilty of attaching batteries with an extensive amount of adhesive, making replacements harder. Thankfully, it is no longer doing that. This fits well into the Korean firm’s self-repair program for Galaxy devices.
We expect to see more leaks, rumors, and certification listings for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 in the coming months. There are already rumors that Samsung will equip it with a 200MP primary camera, the same as the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This camera upgrade may block the way for a bigger battery, though. The new Fold may feature an unchanged 4,400mAh battery (combined capacity of two units).
The Flip model could get a bigger battery
The Galaxy Z Flip 6’s batteries were recently certified by India’s BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) with model numbers EB-BF742ABE and EB-BF742ABY (the device bears the model number SM-F741). While the listing didn’t reveal more information, leaks have hinted at a combined rated battery capacity of 3887mAh for the phone. Its typical capacity could be 4,000mAh. The Flip 5 has a rated battery capacity of 3591mAh and a typical capacity of 3,700mAh.
We’ve gotten to the point where AI can create entire productions without any human intervention. If you thought things were looking realistic before, just wait until you see what OpenAI just unveiled. According to sources, OpenAI just showed off a new text-to-video generator called Sora, and it may fool some people.
AI technology seems to be taking major steps, as Google just unveiled its new model called Gemini 1.5. This is the new model from the company that improves upon Gemini 1.0 in several ways. It greatly increased the context window along with improvements. It’s currently rolling out for early testing.
OpenAI unveiled its text-to-video generator called Sora
You’ve probably already seen the video of a young couple walking along a snowy path in Japan. Only, there’s no couple and there’s no snowy path. Every frame of this video was generated by AI. To the average Joe, this would look like a typical drone video. Everything in it is extremely realistic.
This is called Sora, and it’s set to take AI video generation to the next level. It’s able to take text-based prompts and convert them into videos up to one minute long. The output looks hyper-realistic, albeit with several instances of AI jankiness. However, the jankiness is so minimal that you’ll need to scrutinize just about every detail in order to spot it. It’s not like the famous Will Smith Eating Spaghetti video that surfaced last year.
In case you’re wondering, no, you can’t get your hands on it and start popping out videos. Right now, Sora is only available to a set of red-teamers within the company, so it’s not available to the public. The company is planning on distributing this tool to artists, filmmakers, and designers for feedback. We’re not sure when OpenAI is going to bring this tool to the public.
The threat is obvious
Many of the examples that are shown off on the OpenAI site have some sort of AI tell like hands deforming, objects disappearing, and whatever the heck is going on with the example of a team of people digging up a chair.
Obviously, this poses a huge threat to filmmakers. The site has a section talking about how the company plans to use this technology safely, but it’s hard to take any AI company at its word with all that’s happened so far. It’s tough to know how many filmmakers are going to lose their jobs or how much misinformation is going to float around after this. We’re just going to have to wait and see.
We’ve already compared the best of Google and the best of Samsung. The thing is, Samsung announced two immensely powerful large-format smartphones this year. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is the top-end model, while only a step below is the Galaxy S24+. In this article, we’ll compare the Google Pixel 8 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24+. These two phones actually have the same display size, and both are high-end models.
They are quite different, however, and that should make for an interesting comparison. We’ll first list their specifications, as we usually do in comparisons, and then we’ll move to design, display, performance, battery life, cameras, and audio performance. We do hope that this comparison will help you make a purchasing decision, in case you’re trying to decide which one to get. Let’s get going…
Specs
Google Pixel 8 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24+, respectively
From the front, the two devices do look quite similar. They both have very thin, uniform bezels, and a centered display camera hole. Their displays are flat, and their corners are also rounded. We’re looking at slightly different display aspect ratios here, but more on that later. When we flip them over, however, things change drastically. The Google Pixel 8 Pro includes a camera visor on the back, which connects to the left and right sides of the frame. That visor is covered by metal, and there are three cameras in there. It does protrude on the back quite a bit and can be a good place to anchor your finger, depending on the size of your hands.
The Galaxy S24+, on the other hand, has three separate camera islands, tiny ones. That’s because each of the cameras protrudes from the back on its own. All three cameras sit in the top-left corner, and they’re vertically aligned. Both phones are predominantly flat on the back, though they do curve towards the edges, for comfort/ergonomics. Both phones are made out of aluminum and glass, by the way.
You’ll find all physical buttons on the right-hand side of both phones, their layout is a bit different. On the Pixel 8 Pro the power/lock button sits above the volume up and down buttons. It’s the other way around on the Galaxy S24+. The Google Pixel 8 Pro is a bit taller, wider, and thicker, but the difference is not that big. It is also 17 grams heavier at 213 grams, compared to 196 grams of the Galaxy S24+.
Both phones are quite slippery in the hand, though they’re comfortable to hold. They do feel entirely different in the hand, so it would be great if you could try them both out before making a decision. They’re both IP68 certified for water and dust resistance, which is always nice to see. Both of them also have Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back.
Google Pixel 8 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24+: Display
The Google Pixel 8 Pro features a 6.7-inch 2992 x 1344 LTPO OLED display. That panel is flat, and its refresh rate goes up to 120Hz. HDR10+ content is supported here, and the display goes up to 1,600 nits when it comes to brightness. The display aspect ratio here is 20:9, and the display is protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The screen-to-body ratio is around 87%, which is lower than the Galaxy S24+’s 91% (approximately).
Samsung Galaxy S24+
The Galaxy S24+, on the other hand, has a 6.7-inch QHD+ (3120 x 1440) Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display. That display also supports HDR10+ content, and its maximum refresh rate is 120Hz. This display is also flat, and it has an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. The peak brightness on the Galaxy S24+’s display is 2,600 nits, while the panel is protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 from Corning.
There’s not much to complain about when it comes to either of these displays. They’re both very sharp and vivid, while the blacks are deep. The viewing angles are great, and the touch response is also good. They’re very fluid when it comes to scrolling and various other actions thanks to their high refresh rates, and they also do get quite bright. They’re both easily usable in direct sunlight, so brightness is not something you should worry about. You’ll be more than happy with either one of these two panels.
Google Pixel 8 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24+: Performance
The Google Pixel 8 Pro is equipped with the Google Tensor G3 processor. That is a 4nm chip, and it is paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Google is also using UFS 3.1 flash storage inside of this phone. The Samsung Galaxy S24+, on the other hand, is fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy SoC in most markets, but in some markets, it uses the Exynos 2400 processor from Samsung instead.
Do note that we’ve only used the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 variant of the Galaxy S24+, so we cannot really comment on the performance of the Exynos variant. Both of these phones do a great job on the performance side of things. They’re quite snappy during regular use, regardless of what you’re doing. Even multitasking is up to par on both phones, though the Galaxy S24+ did feel a bit smoother in direct comparison.
When gaming is concerned, the Galaxy S24+ does do a better job. It managed to run the most demanding titles noticeably smoother, games like Genshin Impact. It also got less warm during the process. The Pixel 8 Pro is not really a smartphone made for gaming, though it did a good job. If you’re not planning to play truly demanding games, though, either one of these two smartphones will do just fine.
Google Pixel 8 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24+: Battery
A 5,050mAh battery sits inside the Google Pixel 8 Pro. A 4,900mAh unit can be found inside the Galaxy S24+. They both do offer good battery life, but one of them reigns supreme. The Galaxy S24+ did a better job in the battery department for us, and it was also more consistent at the same time. The Pixel 8 Pro had periods of consistency, but at times it showed rather odd results in daily usage, it was not exactly consistent.
Most of the time we were able to get to the 7-hour screen-on-time mark on the Pixel 8 Pro, without gaming. The Galaxy S24+ managed to get over the 8-hour screen-on-time mark during similar usage. If we throw gaming into the equation, those numbers do go down. Do note that both phones were mainly used on Wi-Fi, and we did not exactly spare them. So they can provide good battery life. Your mileage may vary, of course, as there are simply too many variables included.
In terms of charging, the Google Pixel 8 Pro offers 30W wired, 23W wireless, and 5W reverse wireless charging. The Galaxy S24+ supports 45W wired, 15W wireless, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging. Neither device comes with a charger in the box, so do note that. Do note that charging does slow down on both smartphones after the 50% mark, so they may not charge as fast as you’d think (up to 100%).
Google Pixel 8 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24+: Cameras
Google’s handset has a 50-megapixel main camera, a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera (126-degree FoV), and a 48-megapixel telephoto unit (5x optical zoom). The Galaxy S24+, on the flip side, includes a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide unit (120-degree FoV), and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera (3x optical zoom). They both have good hardware, albeit different sensors and lenses.
The images they provide are notably different. The Pixel 8 Pro loves to produce contrasty images that are usually very detailed. It does a great job in HDR conditions, and in low light as well. The Galaxy S24+ does not punch out as saturated images as its predecessor did, which is a good thing. They’re more balanced now, while also being detailed, and presentable at the same time. They still look good, even though they can’t really measure up to the Pixel 8 Pro and some other flagships.
Ultrawide cameras do a good job of keeping up with the color science of the main cameras, for the most part. The drop in quality is obvious, though, especially in low light. The Pixel 8 Pro does a better job when it comes to telephoto shots, especially if you go over 3x or 4x. The Galaxy S24+ can do a better job at around 3x, it all depends on the scene.
Audio
Both devices do include stereo speakers. Those speakers are good on both sides, though the ones on the Galaxy S24+ are a bit louder. You’ll get more than enough details out of both sets of speakers, though.
What you will not find on either one of these phones is an audio jack. They do have Type-C ports which you can use to connect your headphones via a wire. They also support Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity which you can use for wireless audio.
On Thursday, Microsoft and its Xbox division had quite a bit of news to share on the official Xbox Podcast. Including the teasing of the next-gen Xbox, which is going to deliver “the largest technical leap.”
Xbox President Sarah Bond stated, “We’ve got more to come. There’s some exciting stuff coming out in hardware that we’re going to share this holiday. We’re also invested in the next-generation roadmap. What we’re really focused on there is delivering the largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation, which makes it better for players and better for creators and the visions that they’re building.”
The Verge is also reporting that Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer teased that the Xbox hardware teams are thinking about building different kinds of hardware. Spencer said his team is “really thinking about creating hardware that sells to gamers because of the unique aspects of the hardware. It’s kind of an unleashing of the creative capability of our hardware team that I’m really excited about.”
Microsoft is also teasing an Xbox handheld
If you read between the lines, you’ll see that Xbox is also teasing “different types of devices” in an Xbox blog post published today. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about an Xbox handheld, but this is the first time that Microsoft has hinted towards it. Spencer did say that he is a “big fan of handhelds. I’m a big fan, but nothing to announce.” Spencer also admits that there is a lot of work to do on the Windows side for handheld gaming PCs still.
However, before the next-generation Xbox and this handheld come our way, it sounds like the disc-less Xbox Series X that leaked, along with the new controller, could be a thing. Xbox said in a blog post today that “we have a robust and innovative multi-year hardware roadmap including more console and controller options for you this holiday.” Which sounds like a fall announcement or maybe even a summer announcement is on the horizon.
A new major phone that’s just released, so it’s time for it to go through the ringer. The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro recently came out, and Zack Nelson from JerryRigEverything has put it through his durability test. During the video, we also got a look at the inside of the phone.
The Asus ROG Phone 8 is the latest gaming phone from the company, and it was highly reviewed here at Android Headlines. If you want to see why we love this phone so much, check out our Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro review.
The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro goes through a durability test
For the most part, this is a pretty typical durability test. The screen scratched at a level six with deeper grooves out of level 7, the frame is made of metal, and the display lasts about 20 seconds under the lighter before the pixels start to die.
However, the peak of these videos is usually the bend test. Asus’s ROG Phones have failed the past to bend tests, and that never sits right with users. This time around, bending from the back and the front resulted in some pretty troubling flexing, but the phone did ultimately survive the test. It didn’t survive as well as the Galaxy S24 Ultra (Review), but it was able to earn Jack’s stamp of approval. However, the back glass did shatter at one point.
All in all, the ROG Phone 8 Pro survived the test, but you will still want to be careful with this phone. Just don’t bend the phone with all of your strength, and you should be fine.
As for the teardown, we were able to see the intricate cooling system that this phone uses. Just like the OnePlus 12 (Review), this phone uses a rather large vapor chamber cooling system. It’s not as large as the cooling system in the OnePlus 12, but it’s still very robust.
