What can you expect from Google\u2019s Made By Pixel event<\/a>? Well, according to the media invite we got (brag), it\u2019s promising new Pixel phones, watches, buds and more.<\/p>\n

Last year, that was true. The same event gave us the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Buds Pro 2. I think that was everything?<\/p>\n

As for that \u201cand more\u201d part, recent rumors suggest Google is working on Pixelsnap, a proper response to Apple\u2019s MagSafe tech. Android phones have been slow to adopt the Qi2 wireless charging standard \u2014 I mean, check out all of Samsung\u2019s recent phones. But\u2026 wireless charging? I hope Google has something more exciting planned.<\/p>\n

The news you might have missedSorry, I meant $5,100.\"TMA\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sony<\/p>\n

The death of compact cameras has been exaggerated. If it\u2019s not the viral Fujifilm X100 series, it\u2019s Sony\u2019s vlogging cameras and now an update to its RX1R fixed-lens compact. Coming nearly 10 years after the RX1R II, it features a 61MP Exmor R sensor, along with Sony\u2019s latest image processing advancements and top-notch object tracking, supported by 693 phase-detection AF points. Why not 694, eh?<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t match Sony\u2019s A7 full-frame cameras, but video-wise, it can capture 10-bit 4K video at up to 30 fps. The kicker, though, is the price. While the Mark II was a heady $3,300, the RX1R III is a bank balance-shaking $5,100. And if you want a thumb grip? 300 bucks. Thanks!<\/p>\n

Foldable phone nirvana (for a price).\"TMA\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Engadget<\/p>\n

Samsung has taken its premier foldable to the next level. With the Galaxy Z Fold 7, it\u2019s improved the size (thinner), battery life (longer) and camera (sharper, higher resolution) and that\u2019s without talking about the improved, bigger displays and even tougher build. According to Sam Rutherford\u2019s review, it\u2019s \u201cfoldable phone nirvana.\u201d The price of folding enlightenment is still $2,000.<\/p>\n
