> Tensor G5 and the latest version of Gemini Nano work together to run Magic Cue privately and securely on your phone. Running Gemini Nano on device is the most interesting thing here. Magic Cue sounds exactly like the Siri improvements that Apple failed to launch this past year (and have stayed mostly quiet about for this coming year, except saying "eventually"). I hope it works well, because on-device AI for simple…

Or for the police, "list any legally questionable content on the phone or behavior by the owner."

The model might even make something up, giving police "reasonable suspicion". Not that it seems it's needed anymore in the US

The "magic cue" sounds like Windows CoPilot but isn't getting the same backlash for some reason. Why would I want AI tightly woven into everything I'm doing on my phone?

Seems like a privacy nightmare.

Looks like they're still only available in "Huge" and "comically oversized". I guess I can keep buying Pixel 4s until new ones (req for battery) are no longer available.

Really wish they would at least make the Fold a reasonable size when closed. It would scratch my smaller phone itch, and offer a larger screen when I actually do want one. Currently it’s “comically oversized” when folded, and literal tablet when open.

I just went from a Z Fold 5 to a Z Fold 7 and I hate it for this exact reason.

Z Fold 6 and earlier were slim, one handed use phones when folded, small tablet when opened.

Now it's just a regular phone, and a medium tablet when I open it.

First phone I've ever regretted upgrading to.

Until I purchased a Pixel 8a, I thought the same thing.

I discovered that all the newer pant models that I purchased have bigger pockets, so that's not a problem anymore.

It being by Google, I have a feeling Google and LEA will be able to use tools on your phone too. They could very conveniently use this for "we didn't analyze your data using AI, we instructed your local AI to analyze your data" so it isn't technically a violation of your rights.

> Pro Res Zoom uses Tensor G5 and an all-new generative imaging model to intelligently recover and refine intricate details. Reminds me of https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/13/23637401/samsung-fake-moo... I guess we'll never be able to trust any photos taken with a Pixel 10 or above.

Yeah.

So basically the trend now is to stop actually improving things and have AI make shit up to fill the gaps and pretend we're improving things.

Phones are not the hot commodity they used to be anymore and that's a good thing IMHO. I just bought a Px7 after breaking my 6a that I had for 3 years. I did look at the Px10 specs but with the price/value it was an easy decision. I'm now expecting the same 3y worth of battery I was getting out of my 6a (a day started getting tight at the end). Bigger still seems to be the definition of better but I had a CAT S60 for a while, so it's still small compared to that brick.

Overall very happy with the Px series and I'm happy they keep making them. On the software side it runs Graphene OS just as well as the 6a. Setup was super easy with the Chromium WebUSB based installer. I expect the Px10 to be supported soon too.
