Google Pixel 10 launch on August 10: Full specs and features revealed
Google is set to launch its Pixel 10 series in just two months, with detailed specifications of the device now available online. Reports suggest that while the Pixel 10 will gain some features, it may also miss out on others seen in previous models. The upcoming phone will carry several design and hardware elements from its predecessor, the Pixel 9, but it will introduce upgrades in key areas such as battery capacity, processing power, and charging speeds. Google Pixel 10 full specifications have surfaced online ahead of the August launch.(Google) According to the Android Headlines report, the Pixel 10 will keep the 6.3-inch Full HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate found on the Pixel 9. The screen will still use Corning's Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for protection. However, the brightness will see an increase, with the high brightness mode rising from 1800 nits to 2000 nits and peak brightness going from 2700 nits to 3000 nits.

Corning's Q1 Earnings Call: Our Top 5 Analyst Questions
Corning's first-quarter results surpassed Wall Street expectations, with management crediting robust adoption of its optical communications products, particularly those supporting generative AI (GenAI) data centers, as a primary growth engine. CEO Wendell Weeks emphasized that strong customer demand for new optical and solar products fueled double-digit sales growth, while recent price increases in the display segment contributed to improved operating margins. Weeks noted, 'We expanded operating margin 250 basis points year-over-year to 18%,' reflecting the company's ability to capitalize on both volume and pricing levers. Is now the time to buy GLW? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $3.68 billion vs analyst estimates of $3.48 billion (23.7% year-on-year growth, 5.8% beat) Adjusted EPS: $0.54 vs analyst estimates of $0.51 (5.4% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $980 million vs analyst estimates of $932.4 million (26.6% margin, 5.1% beat) Revenue Guidance for Q2 CY2025 is $3.85 billion at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $3.67 billion Adjusted EPS guidance for Q2 CY2025 is $0.57 at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $0.56 Operating Margin: 12.1%, up from 8.5% in the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $44.37 billion While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Steven Fox (Fox Advisors) asked about Corning's pricing power in uncertain markets. CEO Wendell Weeks explained that the company's unique product offerings and local manufacturing footprint enable it to pass on costs and maintain competitive positioning, particularly in solar and optical communications. Wamsi Mohan (Bank of America) questioned whether temporary ramp-up costs in optical and solar were affecting capital expenditure plans. CFO Ed Schlesinger clarified that current capex guidance remains unchanged, as most ramp costs are operational expenses linked to scaling labor and production, not new facility investments. Asiya Merchant (Citi) sought clarity on supply constraints and pricing leverage in optical communications. Weeks responded that strategic differentiation with next-generation products could further strengthen Corning's pricing power and margin profile as adoption increases. Samik Chatterjee (JPMorgan) probed the impact of tariffs and macro uncertainty on customer behavior and solar investment plans. Weeks and Schlesinger indicated that demand for U.S.-made solar is robust and largely insulated from macro swings, with customer agreements providing long-term visibility. Mehdi Hosseini (Susquehanna) asked about display market trends and future buyback activity. Schlesinger and Weeks pointed to stable display demand and ongoing share repurchases, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strong balance sheet alongside continued capital returns. In the coming quarters, our team will watch for (1) the pace and profitability of the optical communications and solar production ramps, (2) tangible progress in securing and announcing new commercial agreements for U.S.-made innovations, and (3) evidence that supply chain and tariff mitigation strategies are sustaining margin expansion. Updates on automotive glass adoption and customer wins in emerging markets will also be important signposts for Corning's execution. Corning currently trades at $51.49, up from $44.03 just before the earnings. At this price, is it a buy or sell? See for yourself in our full research report (it's free).

The Poco F7's early bird price has to be seen to be believed – and it's bad news for Nothing
The Nothing Phone 3 is perhaps the hottest upcoming phone we're expecting over the coming weeks. But there's a spanner in the works in the form of the brand new Poco F7. It gives potential Nothing buyers more than a little to think about, with the starting price clocking in at $399/£389 and early bird pricing available for an incredible $339/£319. A 67W Xiaomi charger is also included in early orders. That's scarcely believable and undercuts most mid-rangers. We already know the Nothing Phone 3 will launch with the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor as the Poco F7. The more comparable Nothing Phone 3a and 3a Pro feature the previous Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip. Since the Gen 4 is new the F7 also boasts quite a lot of ticked boxed, with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, NFC and all the key 5G standards supported. Once more Xiaomi offshoot Poco has outdone itself, with a smart, flagship-level design and 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate and 1700nits of peak brightness protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass 7i. I loved the Poco F7 Pro from earlier this year, but this model has also really impressed me during my testing. I'll have a full Poco F7 review for you very soon. Aside from the Snapdragon platform, highlights of the 216g F7 include a huge 6500 mAh battery and up to 90W charging (22.5W reverse, too). It's IP68 rated for dust and water resistance and the main camera is a 50MP Sony IMX882 unit with image stabilisation (there's a 20MP selfie camera, too). The phone runs Xiaomi's HyperOS 2 which is based on Android 15 with full access to Google Play and Google apps. As you can see from my images I have all three designs in hand (white, black and silver), including the stunning Cyber Silver Edition (above) complete with Snapdragon logo and other design flourishes (you won't be surprised to hear this one is my favourite given how much better it looks than its brethren.
