Pixel Fold did not survive JerryRigEverything's durability test
YouTube
Zack from JerryRigEverything has gotten his hands onto a Pixel Fold to test its durability.
In his test, the cover display protected by Gorilla Glass Victus scratched at level six with deeper grooves at level seven which is normal.
On the other side, the main display started scratching at level 2 with fingernails being able to leave a mark on the display's screen protector similar to other foldables.
The Fold shut down after a few seconds of heat being applied to the main display, which was never seen before on other devices.
Sadly, the phone did not pass the bend test as it snapped in half while bending the other way with no stopper that prohibits you from doing this.
Google advertises the "most durable hinge in a foldable", which may be true as it did not snap in half with the antenna lines being the faulty part in the design, maybe next time it'll do better?

The Tensor G5 chip for Pixel 10 may be manufactured by TSMC
Source
Currently, Tensor chips use semi-custom designs by Google with Samsung's parts (and isn't just rebranded Exynos) and production node due to their contract.
This was meant to change in 2024, but Google's fully custom designed chip codenamed "Redondo" was delayed by at least a year as the Tensor team missed the 2022 deadline for trial production, even after cutting features from it.
Instead, Redondo will be used as a test chip to help engineers work on their next SoC "Laguna" for 2025. This chip is said to be built on TSMC's 3nm process instead of Samsung Semiconductors and would be featured in the Pixel 10 devices as the Tensor G5.
Fun fact, the Tensor G2 was already in development before the launch of Pixel 6, and the G3 is developed obtained on the data from Pixel 6 devices.
Take this with some caution, as Google canceled the development of multiple Tensor chips which is one of the reason of the delays and issues.

New features in Android 14 Beta 4
Mishaal Rahman
Besides the brand new easter egg, there's a bunch of other changes in the latest Android beta, here's a list of them:
Auto-confirm unlock
• This feature will automatically unlock your device after entering your 6 digit (or longer) passcode
See the manufacturing year of your device
• In Settings > About Phone > Model you'll be able to see the year that your device was made from the serial number
Lock Screen customization is finally on Pixel 4a 5G, 5 and 5a!
• Custom lock screen clocks have been brought to older Pixels, which did not have this feature yet. This feature was already present on Pixel 6 and 7 series on previous betas. It has not been enabled yet on the Pixel Tablet though, maybe it will come in the next beta?
New status bar icon for silent mode
• Instead of a crossed-out bell, the icon for silent mode has been changed to a crossed-out speaker symbol

Google Blog
Today, Google is officially launching Nearby Share for Windows. With this said, the program has gotten some new features, like an estimated time for file transfers or an image preview in device notifications, so you can see if you're sending the correct file.
Google is also working with partners like HP to bring the Nearby Share app by default on select PCs such as the HP Dragonfly Pro.
The app requires a PC running a 64-bit version of Windows 10/11 with Bluetooth and an Internet connection with the device being on the same network and being within 5 meters (16 feet) from each other.
You can download the Nearby Share app on the Android website.

Android KitKat to stop receiving Play Services update this year
Android Developers Blog
It's been nearly 10 years since Android KitKat was released to the public. As people upgraded their device over time, the older versions got slowly abandoned and by today, Google reported that there are less than 1% active devices that are still running KitKat, hence they decided to drop support for it soon.
Google Play Services version 23.30.99 will be the last available update for Android KitKat. API levels 19 & 20 (Android Wear, now known as Wear OS) are affected with this change.

Unknown tracker alerts are rolling out to Android devices
Google Blog
Starting today, Google will be rolling unknown tracker alerts to devices running Android 6.0 and later. As of now, this feature will only let you know if any Apple AirTags are tracking you with other tracker tags coming soon as a part of the joint specification.
Your device will automatically notify you if it determines that an unknown tracker is moving with you. After tapping on the notification you can:
- see a map with the history of the tracker moving with you,
- play a sound without the owner knowing
Google also provides advice on what to do:
- contact someone you trust or the authorities
- save tracker information if it's marked as lost by tapping the tracker
- and instructions on how to physically disable the tracker
Located in the Settings under Safety & Emergency > Unknown tracker alerts > Scan Now, you'll also be able to manually scan for unknown trackers and list the ones around you.

Speaking of the Find My Device network, Google has announced that its launch will be delayed “until Apple has implemented protections for iOS.”
Later this summer, you'll be able to track your Pixel Buds (after an update), headphones by JBL and Sony, use Bluetooth trackers by Chipolo, Pebblebee and Tile using the Find My Device network.
Google has built the network with user privacy as a key priority with end-to-end encryption of the data which they cannot see or use. More information about the privacy safeguards will be revealed later.
