BREAKING: EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google
Reddit

The EU is currently developing a whitelabel app to perform privacy-preserving (at least in theory) age verification to be adopted and personalized in the coming months by member states. The app is open source and available here: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui.

Problem is, the app is planning to include remote attestation feature to verify the integrity of the app: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui?tab=readme-ov-file#disclaimer. This is supposed to provide assurance to the age verification service that the app being used is authentic and running on a genuine operating system. Genuine in the case of Android means:

โ€ข The operating system was licensed by Google
โ€ข The app was downloaded from the Play Store (thus requiring a Google account)
โ€ข Device security checks have passed

While there is value to verify device security, this strongly ties the app to many Google properties and services, because those checks won't pass on an aftermarket Android OS, even those which increase security significantly like GrapheneOS, because the app plans to use Google "Play Integrity", which only allows Google licensed systems instead of the standard Android attestation feature to verify systems.

This also means that even though you can compile the app, you won't be able to use it, because it won't come from the Play Store and thus the age verification service will reject it.

The issue has been raised here https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui/issues/10 but no response from team members as of now.

In short: You can only be a full citizen of the EU if you accept the ToS from Google.

Google Pixel Watch 4 will feature new charging system

Googleโ€™s Pixel Watch 4 will feature a new side-mounted charging system, which will render the previous-generation Pixel Watch chargers useless. The charging contacts have been moved from the back to the left side of the watch that has two charging contacts and there are NO charging contacts on the backside whatsoever.

One good thing is that, the watch will charge about 25% faster. Additionally, Pixel watch 4 will be easier to repair than previous all 3 watches.

Google Tensor G5 Announced Globally

Tensor G5 powers the Pixel 10 series is manufactured by TSMC on its 3nm node. The CPU is 33% more powerful than Tensor G4 while the GPU is 33% weaker than Tensor G4.

CPU:
โ€ข 1x Cortex-X4 @ 3.78GHz
โ€ข 5x Cortex-A725 @ 3.05GHz
โ€ข 2x Cortex-A520 @ 2.25GHz

Geekbench 6 scores:
Single-core: 2324
Multi-core: 6439

GPU: IMG PowerVR DXT-48 1536 with 1 core only and 6 CU.
Tensor G5 Vulkan: 3754
Tensor G4 Vulkan: 9370

Funfact: Pixel 10 Pro prototype with Tensor G5 had 2 cores and 12 compute units while the production one has 1 core and 6 CU. Thus, Google nerfed the GPU in prod as compared to proto
(I doubt if Pixel 10 series can run even PUBG properly lol)

Modem: Revised Samsung Exynos 5400
RAM: LPDDR5X
Storage: UFS 4.0 (256GB+, UFS 3.1 on 128GB)

Interestingly, 512GB storage model in the US and 1TB models worldwide features Zoned UFS. ZUFS is a new technology that improves the performance & endurance of traditional UFS. Its major benefit is increasing lifetime of mobile storage chips & SK Hynix estimates that, ZUFS can improve it upto 40%.

TPU: 60% more powerful
Latest Gemini Nano model runs 2.6x faster and 2x more efficiently for use cases like Pixel Screenshots and Recorder

New ISP (Image Signal Processor)
โ€ข Reduced blur in low-light videos
โ€ข 10-bit HDR by default for 1080p
โ€ข 4K/30fps video capture
However, NO 8K local support

Some Additional Info on Pixel 10 series

1. Pixel 10 series supports Wi-fi 7 (Pixel 10: Wi-Fi 6E) and Bluetooth v6.0.

2. Like the iPhone 15 and 16 series, Pixel 10 series (except Pixel 10) supports Thread radio network. This means you should be able to use them to set up & pair Matter-over-Thread smart home devices. While the Pixel 9 Pro models also has the hardware, it looks like only the Pixel 10 Pro line is officially certified.

3. Pixel 10 series are the 1st devies to support both Av1 and VP9 encoding. This means you can shoot videos in both AV1 and VP9.

4. Pixel 10 series (except Pixel 10) comes with 480Hz at 120Hz refresh rate PWM display dimming. It only works on inner screen on Pixel 10 Pro fold though & the option to boost it to 480Hz is available under accessibility in settings.

5. Pixel 10 series (except Pixel 10) can capture 50MP portrait mode images using the main camera. However, it doesnโ€™t support portrait mode on the telephoto sensor, unlike the Vivo X200 Ultra.

6. Pixel 10 series are the 2nd Android smartphones to support Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets. The Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro supports upto 15W. Pixel 10 Pro Fold supports latest Qi 2.2 spec, thus it can charge at 25W.

7. To support Qi2, Google has "removed" wireless battery sharing feature from the Pixel 10 series

New Accessories:
67W Pixel Flex Dual Port (PD, 3.2 PPS): 60$
Pixelsnap Charger with Stand: 70$/ โ‚น6,939
Pixelsnap Charger: 40$/ โ‚น4,500
