Google just gave us our first look at the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and confirmed the new long name

Google is either getting ahead of itself or simply wants to get ahead of more leaks. Just a few hours after giving us our first look at the Pixel 9 Pro, the technology giant has shared yet another teaser that confirms its second-generation Pixel Fold is incoming.

The teaser, titled "Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold,” confirms the new name and gives us our best look at the device yet. It shows off the internal main display, the hinge, and the backside, which boasts a redesigned main camera module. 

Of course, it’s also getting Google Gemini and shows off the likely headlining feature with “Oh Hi, AI” on the screen. Before the device appears, Google shows off its generative text capabilities as well.

The biggest revelation from this teaser, though, would be a confirmation of the new naming scheme, which moves the Pixel Fold in line with the rest of Google’s smartphone family and with some of the hardware. Notably, the slimmer horizontal camera bar that resembled the Pixel 8 or Pixel 7 on the original Pixel Fold is being swapped for a square camera bump with two rows of lenses, a flash, and a microphone.

Just like the Pixel 9 Pro, the refreshed camera bump appears to be pretty thick, which will prevent the Pixel 9 Pro Fold from lying flat on a tablet—just like the original Pixel Fold and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold. The rest of the design matches up with some earlier leaks of the device, which shows Google aims to strike a new chord with the second generation.

One thing I am not sure I can understand, though, is the updated name – Pixel Fold 2 not only rolls off the tongue better but is also considerably shorter. Still, if leaks are to be believed, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold should sport larger displays on the front and inside, just like the Galaxy Z Fold 6, faster processing for a responsive experience, and plenty of power for these new AI features. 

You can see the teaser in full above. Google also updated a teaser page on its online store, calling out the standard Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold and allowing you to sign up for more information.

Luckily, you won’t have to wait much longer as Google is expected to formally unveil the Pixel 9 Pro Fold alongside the Pixel 9 Pro and likely a few other devices at its August 13, 2024, event, and TechRadar will be on the ground to unpack everything as it happens.

The Samsung Galaxy Ring could go into production as soon as next month

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support With the dust beginning to settle from the huge Samsung Unpacked 2023 event, we can turn our attention towards what Samsung might have planned next: and a smart ring seems to be in the company's near future. As per a report from South Korean outlet The Elec (via SamMobile ), mass production on a Samsung Galaxy Ring could begin as early as August, with a decision imminent on the schedule for getting the wearable manufactured and out to consumers. A full launch is slated for some point during 2024 though, rather than 2023. The nature of the device means that it'll need to clear several regulatory hurdles before it can go on sale and start tracking various vital statistics. An early 2024 launch would put the Galaxy Ring on a similar schedule to the Samsung Galaxy S24 – and it would therefore make sense to launch both gadgets at the same time, perhaps in January or February if Samsung follows its 2023 routine. The story so far Rumors ar...

The Apple Watch ban is lifted, on appeal – but the reprieve might only be temporary

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The Apple Watch ban story has developed quickly over the last week and a bit, and there's now a new twist: the US Court of Appeals is putting a pause on the US sales and import ban while it reviews the case, which means the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 can go back on sale for the time being. "We are thrilled to return the full Apple Watch lineup to customers in time for the new year," an Apple spokesperson told TechRadar. "We are pleased the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has stayed the exclusion order while it considers our request to stay the order pending our full appeal." The watches in question are now once again available from "select" Apple Stores, and will also be going on sale from the Apple website from 12pm PT / 3pm ET on Thursday, December 28 (that's 8pm in the UK, and early on December 29 in Australia). All Apple Stores should have stock by the weekend. As for how long t...

These mobile games are just trying to steal your crypto hoard, FBI warns

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The FBI has warned consumers about a newly-detected, fake "play-to-earn" mobile and online game that tricks victims into depositing cryptocurrency, only to later steal it.  In a public service announcement , the FBI said the elaborate scheme sees scammers first contact the potential victim and try to build a relationship with them.  After a little back-and-forth, the scammers would invite the victim to play an online or mobile game, in which players purportedly earn cryptocurrency rewards in exchange for some activity, “such as growing ‘crops’ on an animated farm” the FBI said.  Depositing cryptos But getting into the “game” isn’t free - the victims must first create a cryptocurrency wallet and deposit some money, which is where the real scam begins. The fraudsters would later also tell the victims that the more funds they deposit, the higher the gains will be. However, as soon as the victim stops depositing additional funds, the...
