TL;DR

  • A software bug involving Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) causes jittery video recording on the Pixel 10 series’ telephoto camera.
  • The issue persists across multiple apps, including third-party ones that utilize Google’s EIS API.
  • Ironically, the stuttering can be fixed by turning off video stabilization in the Pixel camera app.

The Google Pixel 10 series includes some fantastic smartphones, but they aren’t perfect by any means. The Pixel lineup is infamous for having more than its fair share of bugs, and users must deal with them on new phones while also considering the possibility that it could be a hardware defect. One Reddit user found themselves in this spot when they noticed stuttering when video recording through the 5x telephoto camera. Thankfully, it seems this is a software bug related to EIS, so there’s hope of it being fixed through a software update once Google acknowledges the issue.

TL;DR

  • Nothing has teamed up with YouTuber MrWhoseTheBoss to “make” his hypothetical dream phone.
  • The manufacturer didn’t actually produce the phone but created renders and a list of specs.
  • This phone would retail for $1,800 and have a 10x periscope camera, sapphire glass screen, and more.

Nothing previously mocked up popular tech YouTuber Marques ‘MKBHD’ Brownlee’s ideal flagship phone. Now, it’s enlisted the help of another popular tech YouTuber to make another hypothetical dream phone.

Nothing teamed up with Arun Maini (MrWhoseTheBoss) and mocked up his ideal Android phone, posting a video to YouTube in the process. You can check out the full video above.

TL;DR

  • An Ask Maps chip is being added to the homepage of the Google Maps app.
  • Tapping on the chip opens a bottom sheet that resembles the UI of the Gemini app.
  • The feature is still a work in progress, as there are a few issues.

Last year, Google introduced an AI-powered feature to the Maps called “Ask Maps.” This feature allowed you to find places to go and things to do by typing natural language questions into the search bar. In a new APK teardown, we have discovered that the tech giant is working to expand upon this feature.

In beta version 25.41.03.815390258 of Google Maps, we found that Google plans to add an Ask Maps chip to the app’s homepage. That chip sits immediately under the search bar, in front of the Restaurants chip. When you tap on this chip, it will open a bottom sheet where you can type in a query.

5 old Pixel features I want to see make a comeback

2025-10-10T03:03:00+00:00

Switching back to a Pixel phone as my primary device for the first time since the Pixel 3 XL has made me realize how much Google’s flagship phones have changed. Compared to its predecessors, the Pixel 10 Pro is better made, the software is more reliable, and I feel that it better contends with the competition from Samsung and Apple, even if benchmarks don’t agree.

Some changes aren’t for the better, though. There are software and hardware features from older Google phones that I miss and would love to see return in future Pixels and Android releases.
