NVIDIA CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang commends President Donald Trump's A.I. agenda and outlines what the country's job future will look like on'Special Report.' I would love a foldable phone. It's fun to imagine strutting into a coffee shop, flipping open your phone like you're Batman calling Alfred. But now Samsung's dropped the seventh-gen Galaxy Z Fold and Flip, Google threw in the Pixel Fold, Motorola whipped out retro with the modern Razr, and it all sounds exciting until you start looking closer. Foldable phones use ultrathin flexible glass over OLED displays, combined with a mechanical hinge system.

Google fans' wait is over at last as four new AI-powered smartphones are revealed – about a month ahead of Apple's new offerings. Today, Google has unveiled its next generation of Pixel smartphones with the release of the 799 Pixel 9, 999 Pixel 9 Pro, and 1,099 Pixel 9 Pro XL. These will be joined by the 1,749 Pixel 9 Pro Fold, a long-awaited successor to the Google Pixel Fold. All of Google's latest offerings are boosted with the latest AI features thanks to an on-phone AI assistant and even more powerful chips. Google's AI-powered phones are now be capable of everything from creating recipes based on what's in the fridge to adding people into selfies.

As Google's I/O conference kicks off tomorrow evening, avid tech fans can certainly expect some exciting news from the company's biggest event of the year. The event, held in Mountain View, California, will be live-streamed here from 18:00 BST (10:00 PST) tomorrow. And, following the limited success of Apple's recent iPad launch, expectations will be high for the tech giant to deliver something impressive. With Google's Pixel 8A officially shipping today, there is a chance we might get a sneak peek of the hotly anticipated Pixel 9 or even a new foldable phone. But while there might be some updates on Google's hardware, you can expect AI to be the biggest topic of the day.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold line is the undisputed champion of big flexible phones. But – outside of China – it holds that title by default. With the Pixel Fold, Google has created a foldable challenger that directly addresses some of Samsung's (and foldables') weaknesses. Google says that over 50 first-party apps have already been optimized for use on devices like the Pixel Fold. Some of the enhancements we've seen before, like tabletop mode in YouTube.

It's a huge week for news: Google I/O happened, and we finally got a close look at the Pixel Fold and the company's latest AI plans. Engadget Deputy Editor Nathan Ingraham also joins to discuss his review of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the follow-up to one of the greatest games ever made. We also chat about Nintendo's confirmation that it won't be announcing any new hardware until next year, and the perils of chatbots serving as the latest avatars for Hindu gods in India.

Google's big developer conference had a lot to get through. That included the Pixel Fold (more on that below), a new Pixel A-series phone for only $500, a tablet, Android 14, a faster, more sophisticated AI language model, and lots more tricks for AI chatbot Bard. Coming soon, Bard will be able to analyze images and integrate into Google apps, like Gmail and GDocs. And if you haven't dabbled with Bard yet – no more waiting list. And while Google had media and analysts captive, it showed off its holographic meeting experience, Project Starline, two years after it first appeared.

It's hard to trust Google's new AI-powered search vision when it can't even correctly summarize the details of its own products. At its Google I/O developer conference on Wednesday, Google laid out the foundation for revamping its iconic search engine, which has followed the same basic formula for years. The company aims to power Google search up with conversational and generative AI -- and, most importantly, put those responses before traditional links and everything else. For the most popular search engine in the world, this is a monumental change. The problem with that approach is that AI chatbots often make confident-sounding mistakes -- and, true to form, Google couldn't even get the details of its latest Google Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet products exactly right, including the price.

The opening keynote address of the Google I/O developer conference today was stuffed with announcements of new devices and AI-powered features coming to familiar software tools. The company leaned hard into generative computing, loudly characterizing itself as a decades-long leader in AI tech. It also gleefully put AI at the forefront of nearly every service and device it operates, including the new Pixel phones and tablet it unveiled today. Here are all of Google's announcements from I/O 2023. Google hardware chief Rick Osterloh announces the Pixel Fold on stage.

Google has confirmed the Pixel Fold, its first foldable smartphone, with video teasers on both YouTube and Twitter. The company was expected to reveal the Pixel Fold at Google I/O next week, but leaks ruined that surprise. The device has a vertical hinge that unfolds into a tablet-like 7.6-inch display. 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.

Google has released an official video of its first ever foldable smartphone - the Pixel Fold. A video shows the sleek, silver device which opens up like a book with a vertical hinge, and has a camera array on the back that is similar to other Pixel devices. The tech giant has yet to release any technical details or price, as the full announcement will come on May 10 during its developer conference, Google I/O. This comes just a week after footage was leaked on Twitter of an alleged Pixel Fold prototype, which looks very similar to the one in the official video. The smartphone will see Google join Samsung, Huawei and many more of its rivals in offering a foldable device.
