Not the Most Exciting Leak
Ahead of its rumored reveal at next week’s Made By Google event (happening on August 13), details about the Pixel 9 Fold’s cameras have leaked, and they’re not looking too shabby.
The leaks come via Camera FV-5 (spotted by 91mobiles) and seemingly spoil the specs of the main front and back cameras for the upcoming foldable. The rear snapper can capture 12MP images (which is assumed to be achieved by using a 48MP sensor, and pixel-binning – combining pixel data in image processing – which creates better-looking shots) with a wide f/1.7 aperture and optical image stabilization (to remove shake from your photos and video).
If this is the case, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s main camera would be identical to what we saw in the original Pixel Fold, so it’ll be leaning on its other snappers for an upgrade – assuming its camera setup is being upgraded at all.
Meanwhile, the main front camera is apparently a 10MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture. The report doesn’t reveal if this is the cover display’s selfie camera, or the foldable screen’s selfie camera. In either case, it’s an improvement as the original boasted 9.5MP and 8MP sensors respectively – though it lags behind the 10.5MP front camera found in the Google Pixel 8.
As with all leaks, this information should be taken with a pinch of salt – until Google makes an official announcement we don’t know for certain how this foldable’s specs will shape up – but so far things don’t look too bad for the upcoming phone.
Alongside these cameras, leaks allege the new foldable will be getting bigger displays – now set to sport a 6.3-inch outer display and an 8-inch foldable one. What’s more, we expect it’ll boast similar specs to what’s been rumored for the regular Pixel 9 Pro. So look out for a Tensor G4 chipset and 16GB of RAM.
Alongside the Pixel 9 smartphone lineup, we expect we’ll be introduced to a new Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Buds 2 Pro, though we’ll have to wait and see what it announces on August 13.

ChatGPT’s Google Search Rival Set to Launch ! – Can SearchGPT Break Google’s Dominance?
A New Era for the Internet? ChatGPT’s Google search rival, SearchGPT, is anticipated to make its debut by the end of this year, marking a significant advancement in OpenAI’s chatbot technology. According to the Press Gazette, Varun Shetty, OpenAI’s head of media, confirmed at a Brussels conference that SearchGPT is expected to be integrated into ChatGPT by year-end. SearchGPT, OpenAI’s AI-driven search engine, is designed to provide quick answers without the need to visit other websites. Users can simply ask, “Did the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Miami Dolphins last night? And if so, who scored?” and get a complete summary of the results. Currently, SearchGPT is in the testing phase, and early reports of its performance have been mixed. The Washington Post’s hands-on review in September highlighted that Google’s AI competitor still requires improvements. Shetty’s announcement that SearchGPT will be available before the end of 2024 indicates that OpenAI has made strides in its development, bringing it closer to competitors like Perplexity and Arc Search. War of the Search Engines The introduction of OpenAI’s search engine could be pivotal in both AI development and the competition for search engine supremacy. Google has long held an unrivaled position, but OpenAI’s advancements could pose a significant challenge. Unlike traditional search engines, SearchGPT responds to queries in natural language and provides sources for its answers, allowing users to easily access full articles. Shetty mentioned, “This is the core experience we’re building. It’s about finding the right balance between users and publishers.” Currently, ChatGPT provides answers without citing sources. The launch of SearchGPT aims to address this concern by enabling users to read original content rather than just receiving brief AI-generated summaries. Using AI on my iPhone 16 Pro Max for web searches with Arc Search has been impressive, but OpenAI’s entry into this arena could be a game-changer. Time will reveal if SearchGPT can truly compete with Google to become the preferred search engine for internet users. End of Article There you go! Now, it’s all revamped and ready to catch the eye. 🎉 Related Posts
