Google will no longer back up the Internet: Cached webpages are dead
Cached’ would let you see webpages as Google sees them, which was useful in a range of different situations like if a site is blocked in your region, Google’s cache can work as a great alternative to a VPN.
Google Search's "cached" links have long been an alternative way to load a website that was down or had changed.
But now, Google has removed links to page caches from its search results page
Also, the “cache:” search operator will also be going away “in the near future.”
So, Google Search will NO longer make site backups while crawling the web.
The death of cached sites will mean the Internet Archive (which works on donation) has a larger burden of archiving and tracking changes on the world's web pages.

Google Pixel Fold 2 Live EVT stage images Leaked!
Source
Pixel Fold 2 codenamed 'Comet' will have a narrower cover screen compared to the 1st Gen Pixel fold, but the inner screen’s aspect ratio is closer to a square, indicating similar form factor like the OnePlus Open
Google’s form factor on Pixel Fold 2 is extremely rounded around the corners, while OnePlus & Samsung both focused on more squared-off designs.
The Pixel Fold 2 camera module will consists of four sensors
ts unclear (considering the image is blurry) if the fourth sensor is a thermometer sensor or if it’s a different sensor entirely, like a spectral/flicker or ToF sensor
NOTE: The Pixel Fold 2 is still in the EVT stage (Engineering Validation Test)
So, this is NOT the final design at all
The Pixel Fold 2 will be powered by Google Tensor G4 chip (skipping the Tensor G3).
So, the Pixel Fold 2 will launch alongside the Pixel 9 series in October
It will also come with LPDDR5X 16GB RAM with faster UFS 4.0 storage even

Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 Variants
Here's a list of all Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 variants, including lower binned, under-clocked ones, etc
• 8+ Gen 1
• 8+ Gen 1 (SM8475p)
• 8+ Gen 1 + X65M
• 8+ Gen 1 UC
• 8+ Gen 1 UC + X65M
• 8+ Gen 1 + X24
• 8+ Gen 1 UC + X24
• 8+ Gen 1 ES + X62 (sb0/y0 -> 7+ Gen 2)
Under-clocked Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 was used in smartphones like Nothing Phone 2 or OnePlus 11R
8 Plus Gen 1 with X24 modem (4G/LTE) was used in devices from Huawei
8+ Gen 1 + X24 = Huawei P60/Pro|Mate X3
8+ Gen 1 UC + X24 = Huawei Mate 50/Pro
8+ Gen 1 ES + X62 (sb0/y0 -> 7+ Gen 2)
ES stands for engineering sample and sb0/y0 means they are "lowest binned" variant of Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 but capable for production
Basically the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 used in POCO F5/realme GT Neo 5 SE
8+ Gen 1 (SM8475p)
This is an overclocked tablet-specific variant & it is NOT any AC/AB variant
Used by Samsung and Lenovo in their tablets
In short, Qualcomm's cost-savings at its peak

Google Bard is now Gemini
Google is rebranding Bard to Gemini and introducing a new Gemini Android app
Google Bard was based on Google Palm 2 LLM (Large Language model) which Google announced almost one year ago.
Then Google announced Gemini at its I/O event in May 2023 as its new LLM to replace Palm 2.
At that point, Bard transitioned from PaLM 2 to Gemini Pro.
Now, Google is rebranding Bard to Gemini which is based on Gemini Pro model
bard.google.com will also now redirect to gemini.google.com
Google has launched Gemini Advanced as well for solving highly complex tasks.
It is Google's MOST powerful AI model yet and is based on Gemini Ultra 1.0 model
Google has also announced Google One AI Premium plan costing $19.99 for US, €21.99 for EU & Rs.1950 in India per month
This plan provides access to Gemini Advanced with the Ultra 1.0 model, 2TB storage & Google VPN too
Google is also offering a 2-month FREE trial on this plan

Here's a quick demo of Google Gemini on Android! Let me know how Gemini fares with your queries.
This is just a simple query, but there are "Extensions" you can enable that let you pull data from Google Flights, Google Hotels, Google Maps, Workspace, and YouTube.
Also, I didn't show it in the video, but Gemini can also be invoked by saying "Hey Google" or long-pressing the power button, as it replaces Google Assistant as the default Android assistant service.

Here's the Play Store link for Google Gemini, and attached to this post is the APK. The Gemini app isn't really standalone; it just acts as a shortcut to the Gemini entrypoint in the Google App, much like the Assistant and Lens "apps" on Google Play.
Note that you may need to be in the U.S. to access Gemini on Android right now.

Alleged Google Tensor G4 spotted on Geekbench 5!
A Google device codenamed as "Google Tokay" (a lizard species) has been spotted on GeekBench 5
CPU:
• 1x Cortex-X4 @ 3.1 GHz
• 3x Cortex-A720 @ 2.6GHz
• 4x Cortex-A520 @ 1.95GHz
GPU: Mali-G715 MP???
A Octa-core configuration (1+3+4)
Tensor G3 meanwhile:
1x Cortex-X3 @ 2.91GHz
4 x Cortex-A715 @ 2.37GHz
4 x Cortex-A510 @ 1.70GHz
Nona-core configuration (1+4+4)
NO Idea why the number of total CPU cores is decreased from 9 to 8
NOTE: Tensor G4 is still in testing likely, thus the Geekbench 5 scores are NOT the final scores
Tensor G4 (Zuma-pro) will be manufactured by Samsung Foundry on its 4nm LPP+ process likely
(same node on which Exynos 2400 has been manufactured)

OnLeaks confirmed that their Latest Phone 2a Render was WRONG!
Onleaks Renders showcased a new Phone 2a design with a missing glyph interface
However, some leakers still went with the fact that the previous Phone 2a renders with the horizontal camera & glyph interface is the real one
Now after double-checking with their sources, OnLeaks has confirmed that their Phone 2a render was incorrect and they found out that their source had furnished Steve with manipulated renders.
These renders are supposedly made of Phone (1)'s concept mockups in Figma by Nothing themselves, and it appeared on their stream once
In our Phone 2a design poll, 58% of people voted for the vertical camera Phone 2a design while the remaining 42% voted for the previous Phone 2a leaked design
So, those 42% who voted for horizontal camera setup design were correct!

JUST IN: Xiaomi sued a Chinese blogger for infringement speeches and malicious rumours against Xiaomi
We usually see big brands like Apple, Google, etc getting sued by people mainly over privacy or security reasons
But this time, Xiaomi only sued a Chinese blogger for spreading rumors against Xiaomi and smearing 😂.
Well, people spread hatred against Apple and Google as well but NONE of these brands sued any individual unlike Xiaomi
The court has said that the blogger will pay Xiaomi 100,000 CNY (~14,000 US$) for "economic losses faced by Xiaomi" and reasonable expenses of 50,000 CNY (~7000 US$) as well
The blogger will also need to post an apology to Xiaomi on top of his Weibo account under 24hrs
NEXT: Xiaomi to sue TechLeaksZone ??? XD

What's the likelihood that both apps are installed on the same device? 💯? 🤯
Both apps use Unity Ads.
The data in the screenshot is collected by the Unity Ads framework included in these two apps, and any app that uses Unity Ads.
The data is sent to the same Unity server. As a result, Unity Ads can easily fingerprint users and track them across different apps.
The volume being sent is also accurate as testing with different volume levels resulted in including such values in the requests.

Fake LastPass password manager spotted on Apple’s App Store
LastPass is used to store very sensitive information, such as authentication secrets and credentials (emails & passwords)
But now, LastPass is warning that a fake copy of its app is being distributed on the Apple App Store, likely used as a phishing app to steal users' credentials.
However, the fake app's name is 'LassPass,' instead of 'LastPass,' and it has a publisher of 'Parvati Patel.'
After the LastPass warning, Apple removed the previously reviewed and approved app
Ironically, Apple wants you to know that the App Store is a ‘safe and trusted place’ ahead of EU' DMA changes and thus, Apple has added a note, welcoming users to the App Store saying that it is a “safe and trusted place” to download apps and games.
