The Morning After: Google officially reveals its first foldable phone: The Pixel Fold

<p>Google has confirmed the <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/google-officially-reveals-the-pixel-fold-174726500.html">Pixel Fold, its first foldable smartphone[/url], with video teasers on both YouTube and Twitter. The company was <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/google-will-reportedly-announce-a-foldable-pixel-phone-at-io-next-month-155136945.html">expected[/url] to reveal the Pixel Fold <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/google-io-2023-takes-place-on-may-10th-in-front-of-a-limited-in-person-audience-232154501.html">at Google I/O next week[/url], but leaks ruined that surprise. The device has a vertical hinge that unfolds into a tablet-like 7.6-inch display. There’s also an exterior screen, measuring 5.8 inches.</p><figure><img src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-05/e6496280-eb30-11ed-beff-6ea75990a45f" style="height:369px;width:675px;" alt="TMA" data-uuid="99da8cbc-f311-3f61-b29e-bd51fa76cea4"><figcaption></figcaption><div class="photo-credit">Google</div></figure> (https://www.engadget.com/google-will-reportedly-announce-a-foldable-pixel-phone-at-io-next-month-155136945.html)<p>Rumors suggest the price could be around $1,700, fetching a premium far beyond Google’s flagship Pixels. However, I could be convinced – if the foldable can deliver a rumored 24-hour battery life. Expect to hear everything you need to make up your mind on May 10th, which is next Wednesday.</p><p>– Mat Smith</p><p>The Morning After isn’t just a<a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/about/newsletter/"> newsletter[/url] –  it’s also a daily podcast.

Currently, the Vegas Loop is still just about 2 miles long with five stops around the Las Vegas Convention Center.</p><p><a data-i13n="cpos:11;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/elon-musks-boring-company-will-now-build-a-65-mile-tunnel-network-underneath-las-vegas-052042663.html"><strong>Continue reading.</strong>[/url]</p><p></p><h2><a data-i13n="cpos:12;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/biden-administration-will-invest-140-million-to-launch-seven-new-national-ai-research-institutes-090026144.html">Biden Administration will invest $140 million to launch seven new AI Research Institutes[/url]</h2><h3>It comes hours before VP Harris meets with Silicon Valley leaders about AI risks.</h3><h3></h3><p>The Biden Administration announced Thursday that it plans to put $140 million into launching seven new AI R&amp;D centers.

Microsoft is also rolling out several new features to celebrate this new phase of Bing (powered by OpenAI's GPT-4). It can go beyond mere text responses to deliver charts, graphs and rich formatting. Its image generator also supports more than 100 languages.</p><p><a data-i13n="cpos:16;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/microsoft-opens-bing-ai-public-testing-no-waitlist-070024329.html"><strong>Continue reading.</strong>[/url]</p><p></p><h2><a data-i13n="cpos:17;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/apple-arcade-adds-20-more-games-including-an-exclusive-tmnt-co-op-title-152809631.html">Apple Arcade adds 20 more games, including an exclusive ‘Ninja Turtles’ co-op title[/url]</h2><h3>Some indie classics have joined the service, such as 'Limbo' and 'Getting Over It.'</h3><p></p><p>Apple has added another 20 new and classic titles to its Arcade service. Among the additions is an exclusive co-op Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. TMNT Splintered Fate is a roguelike brawler, so it'll be different every time you play - you can even combine the turtles' attacks with randomized powerups. Also new is What The Car?, the latest title from What the Golf? and What The Bat? studio Triband. This time, you'll control a car and participate in races. Expect some absurd twists.

The star, about 12,000 light-years away, close to the Aquila constellation, became 100 times brighter over 10 days. It's believed that the Earth and other inner Solar System planets will face a similar demise when the Sun dies - roughly 5 billion years from now.
