This represents a notable increase from the Pixel 9's 1,800 nits. The standard Pixel 10 model also benefits from an upgrade, reaching 2,000 nits, making sure better visibility in bright outdoor conditions. For the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, brightness levels are optimized for its unique foldable design, with the inner screen achieving 1,850 nits and the outer screen reaching 2,050 nits. These enhancements bring the Pixel series closer to the display performance of flagship devices from competitors, making sure users can enjoy vibrant and clear visuals regardless of their environment. Foldable Technology: Expanding the Pixel Ecosystem The Pixel 10 Pro Fold represents Google's commitment to the growing foldable smartphone market. By integrating advanced display features and competitive brightness levels, the Pro Fold is designed to deliver a seamless experience across both its inner and outer screens. This innovation highlights Google's determination to remain competitive in a market increasingly dominated by foldable devices from brands like Samsung. The Pro Fold's design emphasizes durability, usability, and versatility, catering to users who value both functionality and innovative technology. Balancing Technological Advancements with Practical Benefits While the Pixel 10 Pro introduces impressive technological advancements, Google has also prioritized making sure these features translate into practical benefits for users. The higher PWM refresh rates and increased brightness levels are designed to enhance comfort and usability without compromising battery life or overall performance. This balance is critical as consumers increasingly prioritize devices that excel in real-world scenarios rather than relying solely on technical specifications. By focusing on user-centric improvements, Google aims to deliver a smartphone that meets the needs of a diverse audience. Positioning the Pixel 10 Series in a Competitive Market Google's efforts to refine its Pixel lineup come at a time when display technology has become a key differentiator in the smartphone industry. By aligning its Pro models with the offerings of Apple and Samsung, Google is positioning the Pixel 10 series as a serious contender in the premium smartphone market. However, the company faces challenges in meeting user expectations while maintaining competitive pricing and availability. Success in this crowded market will depend on Google's ability to deliver on its promises and provide a compelling value proposition for consumers. Shaping the Future of Smartphones The Pixel 10 Pro and its counterparts represent a significant step forward in Google's smartphone strategy. With innovative display technology, enhanced brightness, and a focus on user comfort, the Pixel 10 series is well-positioned to compete with flagship devices from established brands. As the smartphone market continues to evolve, Google's commitment to innovation and differentiation will play a pivotal role in the success of its Pixel lineup.

Exclusive: Google Pixel 10's display could hurt your eyes less — but only if you go Pro
C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL displays could be better for people who are sensitive to PWM dimming. Google is considering an upgrade to 480Hz dimming for the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL. The regular model, as well as the Fold, may stick to 240Hz. The displays are also planned to be brighter by about 200 nits across the board. Since the launch of the Pixel 9 series, Google has been revising its Pixel strategy. Instead of the Pro Pixels being larger, slightly better versions of the base Pixels as they had been in previous years, the Pro tier became a whole different class of phones. This year, that trend continues, with all evidence suggesting the baseline Pixel 10 will be closer to the A series Pixels than the Pro models. It appears that Google will lean into this growing divide even further with its display tech, as we've learned that the Pixel 10 is considering a display with a higher PWM frequency — but only on the Pro models. You're reading an Authority Insights story. Discover Authority Insights for more exclusive reports, app teardowns, leaks, and in-depth tech coverage you won't find anywhere else. DC vs PWM dimming explained Before we get to the main part of the article, a bit of background about display dimming, as it's a complex topic. There are two main ways to do it — DC (voltage) and PWM (pulse width modulation). The two approaches have fundamental differences, which I've illustrated in the diagrams below (check here to see the Matlab script that created this illustration). Kamila Wojciechowska / Android Authority DC dimming simply lowers the voltage that's connected to the display to lower its brightness. This has its advantages — it's a very simple concept, generally provides decent results on LCDs and doesn't have any 'side effects' on the human perception of displays it's used in. Unfortunately, that's where the advantages end. The circuitry for DC dimming is more complex and pretty inefficient. Another problem is that it's hard to create a circuit that will be able to provide a wide range of voltage to enable dimming the display down to very low levels. It also doesn't work super well with OLEDs; due to the complicated chemistry involved, lowering voltage not only decreases the brightness, but also affects the color response in a fairly unpredictable way. That's where PWM steps in. Instead of lowering the voltage, it leaves it at the rated value, but only turns the panel on for a selected percentage of the time. Obviously, this wouldn't work really well if, say, we turned the display on and off every half second, so it needs to happen really fast. At just a few hundred hertz (or times per second), this switching becomes nearly invisible to the human eye. Unfortunately, this comes with a caveat — some people are sensitive to this, and will get headaches from using displays that are dimmed like this, unless they are run at a very high frequency. Other than this, however, PWM dimming only has advantages — the color reproduction is impacted to a way smaller degree, it's very easy to get really dim, and it's a more efficient technology. What is changing with the Pixel 10 series? Google Pixels have utilized PWM dimming for a while, but unfortunately, Google left the PWM frequency fairly low. The Pixel 9 Pro only refreshed at around 240Hz. Following the launch of the Pixel 9a, Google was asked about the lack of updates to help fix the flicker concerns, and it hinted to Android Central that it would provide some progress with the Pixel 10. Thankfully, that appears to be coming true — but only if you're planning to shell out for the Pro or Pro XL. The new phones are expected to run at 480Hz PWM refresh rate — at least in some conditions, as they may also support 240Hz. This isn't great, but it's still an improvement, which would track with Google's recent stance on the matter. As a comparison, some phones support a whopping 4320Hz PWM, a nine-fold advantage over Google's phones. I've compiled a table comparing the Pixel 10 Pro range's potential upgrade to some of its competitors below: Phone Maximum PWM rate Pixel 9 series 240 Hz Pixel 10/10 Pro Fold 240 Hz Pixel 10 Pro/10 Pro XL 480 Hz Apple iPhone 16 series 480 Hz Samsung Galaxy S25 series 480 Hz Xiaomi 15 Ultra 1920 Hz Honor Magic 6 Pro 4320 Hz Other than that, the Pixel 10 series is only expected to enjoy minor display upgrades. The sizes and resolutions appear to be staying the same, while the declared (HDR) peak brightness should be getting bumped up around 200 nits across the board. This, however, isn't really an issue as the displays are already excellent after the Pixel 9 series massively upgraded them across the board. Phone Brightness (HDR, declared) Pixel 9 1800 nits Pixel 10 2000 nits Pixel 9 Pro | Pro XL 2050 nits Pixel 10 Pro | Pro XL 2250 nits Pixel 9 Pro Fold 1600 nits (internal) | 1800 nits (external) Pixel 10 Pro Fold 1850 nits (internal) | 2050 nits (external) While it's good to see Google finally taking steps to address such a critical issue, it's disappointing that it could lock that solution to its most expensive phones. Hopefully, this will be amended for future generations. Whatever the case, we'll know for sure when the Google Pixel 10 series finally arrives, with an official launch expected sometime in August.

8K TVs Are Stunning Engineering Feats. You Shouldn't Buy One.
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." TVs with stunningly high 8K display panels were initially very niche and mind-blowingly expensive. When it arrived on the market in 2015, the first 8K TV by Sharp cost a cool $133,000, as much as a luxury car. And the screens didn't become available to mainstream consumers until the turn of this decade. It was in 2020 when big-name manufacturers like LG, Samsung, and Sony began offering them. By that time, 8K TVs were much more reasonably priced, but still in high-end territory. You needed to drop around $4,000 (and way up) to get the sharpest TV screen in your living room. I got my initial glimpse of the first mainstream 8K TVs a little before that, in late 2019. With a resolution of 7,680 x 4,320 pixels, these products had four times the pixel density of 4K (3,840 x 2,160) TVs, resulting in sharper and more detail-rich visuals. It was clear to me then that 8K is the future of video entertainment. And it still is—as in, maybe I'll be able to recommend buying an 8K TV at some point in the future. But I can't right now. Today, six years later and several generations of TVs behind us, I still can't find a reason why you should switch to 8K TV, even if it fits in your budget. Here's why. The almost complete lack of native content is the primary reason why you should avoid buying an 8K TV. None of the leading streaming services offer movies and shows in this resolution. YouTube and Vimeo are the only options for 8K content, but there isn't much to choose from there either. A quick search for 8K video on YouTube led me to short clips of beautiful vistas around the world and a few movie trailers, but nothing else. This isn't enough to warrant spending big to get an 8K TV. To make up for the lack of content in their original resolution, 8K TVs will upscale lower-resolution footage to match theirs. Since an 8K TV has four times the pixels, upscaling fills the missing pixels in when displaying 4K content. But there's no actual data with which to do that. And I can't imagine the oomph necessary to fill in approximately 25 million blank pixels. I've witnessed this upscaling multiple times, and its benefits are limited and not worth overspending on. While undeniably sophisticated, it can't bring lower-resolution video on par with content captured by an 8K camera. The footage looks less natural than native content. It's not uncommon to encounter blurry artifacts, which, depending on the content, can compromise an otherwise perfect scene. Speaking of cameras, there are more 8K options on the market than TVs, ranging from Android phones by Samsung and Google to action cameras, all the way to pro-grade tools for filmmakers. I'd suggest an 8K TV to only those who are obsessed with viewing memories recorded in such high resolution—but you'll need an expensive camera or a high-end phone with ample storage to capture those memories in the first place. Even if you have one, the data requirements are massive. Despite being on the market for half a decade, 8K TVs still cost significantly more than 4K units. The most affordable option I found is the Samsung QN800D, which costs a couple of dollars below $2,000 for a device with a 65-inch screen. The tech giant's latest QN900F 8K TV, with a 65-inch panel, on the other hand, comes with a hefty $3,298 price tag. That's a lot of coin, especially considering the lack of native 8K content I mentioned above. For comparison, a 65-inch LG C4 4K OLED TV with stunning picture quality runs below $1,500, while an 85-inch TCL QM7K Series 4K TV goes for $1,700. You can even order the latter with a truly cinematic 98-inch panel for less than $2,500. In addition to a bigger variety of screen sizes and price points, the above 4K TVs will get you superior picture quality and more onboard features (e.g., OLED screens, support for Dolby Vision across all prices, etc.) than today's 8K TVs. Additionally, the products I mentioned are just a small fraction of the high-quality 4K TV options available today. On that note, if you are hellbent on making the jump to an 8K TV today, I have bad news for you: There aren't many choose from. Alongside the Samsung TVs I already mentioned, you can consider Sony's Z9K Series, though this one is expensive and dated, as it has been on the market since 2022. The 2024 LG 99 Series QNED 8K TV is still available at some retailers for around $2,000, offering another reasonably priced option in this product category. However, you can't find it on its maker's official online store, so it's probably getting phased out. Given the lower price of entry into the 8K realm than before, overly eager upgraders can order one today and bide their time until native content becomes widely available. I strongly advise against this strategy, because the 8K TV you bought now will inevitably be due for an upgrade by the time its native resolution goes mainstream.$1997.99 at at at at Between the crucial lack of compatible content, the high price to upgrade, and the limited choice (not to mention that we don't have a clue what minimum internet speed it needs and how much it will cost to stream video from subscription services on it), I don't recommend buying an 8K TV in 2025. The ultra-high resolution these products have is years away from going mainstream, so don't waste your money on one, despite the mesmerizing picture quality it could deliver one day. Rather than spending so much money on one 8K TV, consider investing in an excellent 4K TV and a soundbar, or a full surround sound system. I'd take a similarly (or lower) priced 4K TV over an 8K set any day. And with other review experts sharing the same view and TV manufacturers launching the latest and greatest products with 4K panels, it certainly looks like this trend won't be changing anytime soon.$1498.00 at at at at You Might Also Like The Do's and Don'ts of Using Painter's Tape The Best Portable BBQ Grills for Cooking Anywhere Can a Smart Watch Prolong Your Life?
