The X TV app is out now and yes, it really sucks |

X has entered the streaming wars sort of Owner Elon Musk announced that the X TV app ーteased earlier this year ーis available now for some Amazon Fire TVs Google TVs and some LG panels If your TV doesn t fit into one of those categories don t fret You re not missing anything The short teaser video included in the beta app announcement shows what appears to be the Google version of the app with a typical looking streaming video interface There are rows of links to videos for the very small number of original shows on the platform like right wing dog whistler Tucker Carlson and accounts for SpaceX and Tesla However the actual app or at least the version for Amazon Fire TVs looks nothing like the video and offers even less in terms of content Currently the X TV app is just a video delivery system for the X app You ll need an X account to log in and it just sends you to a curated list of X videos that are already on the platform However what appear to be the default recommendations are truly hideous to anyone not of the same political mind as Musk Danny GallagherI used a burner account that wasn t following many users and the videos the X TV app offered me on first viewing includes a Megyn Kelly video accusing Tim Walz of committing stolen valor a report from right wing social media influencer Andy Ngo and Carlson s fawning interview with historian Darryl Cooper who performs some revisionist history by calling Winston Churchill the chief villain of the Second World War X TV s video library is reflective of its users after years of skewing liberal its most active userbase is now conservative fans ready for whatever red meat X dangles over them The videos on show may entertain those users and Musk s fan club may fawn over finally having a streaming app on smart TVs but even if you re in that demo it s a disappointingly barebones app compared to rivals like Rumble nbsp This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold review: A grown-up, glowed-up foldable |
https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/pixel-9-pro-fold-review-a-grown-up-glowed-up-foldable-170043123.html?src=rss

Growing up It s something we all do and devices do too While there s been very little innovation in mainstream smartphones lately foldable phones have been maturing over the last few years and finally seem to be coming into their own It s like they re in the young adult phase of their lives while the conventional candybar handset has largely been figured out At least on the outside anyway If foldables are the products then companies like Samsung and Google are the parents and each of those two has taken a different approach Samsung has been more experimental letting its baby flail around in the playground falling off swings and cracking its face Google appears to have been more careful perhaps sheltering its product before releasing it for the first time last year And let s not talk about the elephant in or missing from the room ーApple is probably waiting till its foldable is mature enough to skip straight to high school before exposing it to the world All that is to say the Pixel Pro Fold feels like a glowed up young adult ready for reality Though it would have been more apt to call this the Pixel Fold since it s only Google s second foldable I can see why the company wants us to think of it as part of the series With the Pixel Pro Fold the entire Pixel lineup feels refined and well equipped to take on the competition And maybe even win our hearts The Pixel Pro Fold s design One of my favorite things about the Pixel foldable is its aspect ratio Compared to the Galaxy Z Fold which my colleague Sam Rutherford has described as more like a skinny baton the Pixel Pro Fold feels more like a conventional phone when folded In fact the Pixel Pro Fold is so much an extension of the Pixel series that its inch external display is pretty much the same size as the Pixel and Pro But because that panel is encased in a frame designed to house a hinge for the flexible internal screen the Fold actually looks more similar in size to my iPhone Pro Max When I picked them both up the Pixel Pro Fold felt a bit heavier but I guessed that it was probably close to the iPhone Pro Max in weight I was wrong ーthe Pixel Pro Fold is actually grams heavier than the iPhone Pro Max and grams more than the Pro Max More importantly at grams ounces the Pixel foldable is grams heavier than the Galaxy Z Fold It may not be the lightest foldable around but the Pixel Pro Fold certainly ranks among the thinnest When open its profile measures just mm inches thick while Samsung s Z Fold is slightly thicker at mm Numbers alone don t tell the entire story Small dimensions look nice on paper but the way the Pixel Pro Fold feels to hold is a significant part of its evolution Last year s model felt a little unfinished with a bit of a duct tape vibe to its construction This time the device feels solid thanks to its aerospace grade high strength aluminum alloy and matte back with satin metal frame The external screen and rear are covered with Gorilla Glass Victus helping it be more scratch resistant Of course as is usually the case with foldables durability is a concern and something that we can only gauge with time The good news is Sam recently published a durability report after a year with the original Pixel Fold and the device not only withstood the wear and tear of daily life but also survived being in the general vicinity of an active toddler for whole months Some quick final notes on the Pixel Pro Fold s design If you re right handed you might appreciate that the bottom right corner of the phone when folded is slightly curved It rests nicely against your palm and is marginally more enjoyable than the experience for those who are left handed who might not like the sharper angle of the bottom left corner I used the Fold in both hands and didn t find this a major issue but our videographer Hayato Huseman did not like the design for left handed use I also have a minor complaint that the device is hard to open without first getting a fingernail in between the two halves but I expect this will get easier in time More annoying is the slight creak every time I open the phone but this got smoother over time On occasion there s also a mildly concerning rattle when I shake the Fold which is something my friend Julian Chokkattu at Wired brought to my attention so it sounds like a problem that isn t unique to our unit nbsp Sam Rutherford for Engadget I ve asked Google if this is an issue with just our review samples or if it s more widespread and according to the company this is expected behavior that s due to the telephoto camera VCM voice coil motor You will likely notice this on Pixel Pro and Pro XL as well I will say that I hear a similar though less pronounced sound when I shake my iPhone Pro Max the same way so this could just be the optical image stabilization system moving about A tale of two Pixel Pro Fold displays Gather up aspect ratio nerds have we got an adventure in intricate numbers for you Though last year s Pixel Fold had a inch external display with an awkward aspect ratio this year s model is much more intuitive It s the same inch screen as the standard Pixel making it a more familiar size and shape I m a little bummed that it has the x resolution and Hz adaptive refresh rate of the base Pixel as opposed to the sharper panel on the Pro which goes down to Hz but it s not a huge problem Sam pointed out that there is the teeniest change in the Pixel Fold s internal screen The original was just under inches wide when held in landscape and while the new Pixel Fold s interior display is the same size in the same orientation in portrait mode it s actually inches wide This means the Pixel Pro Fold s internal display has an almost square aspect ratio that s inches wide diagonally which is larger than its predecessor s inch panel Sam Rutherford for Engadget This doesn t dramatically improve things when you re viewing widescreen content and Sam would even call it a very tiny downgrade in that scenario The new screen dimensions will make more of a difference when you re gaming and multitasking than watching videos The tweak appears to be more for compatibility and I still had to live with empty space on either side of videos in both portrait and landscape orientations when I played YouTube clips in fullscreen mode I should point out that the internal display does actually go down to Hz but has a lower pixel density thanks to its x resolution I wasn t ever blown away by either display though and merely found them perfunctory They both go up to nits of peak brightness and are easy enough to read in sunlight though the front screen can get up to nits with HDR while the one inside only goes to nits with HDR The Pixel Pro Fold s cameras and photography features Google s original foldable already had better cameras than Samsung s latest offering a longer optical zoom sharper pictures and superior low light performance So though it s slightly disappointing that the Pixel Pro Fold doesn t come with many hardware upgrades what it does bring is still greater than the Z Fold In fact Sam says the Pixel Pro Fold has the best cameras on any foldable you can buy in the US Sam Rutherford for Engadget Google has kept the main sensor at megapixels and upgraded the ultra wide camera to enable macro focus You ll still find a x optical zoom on the telephoto camera which is longer than the x option on Samsung s Z Fold What s interesting is that with the Pixel Pro Fold Google had to tweak its camera hardware to fit our unique ultra thin architecture which is a fairly impressive engineering feat When it came down to actual pictures the Pixel consistently outshot the Z Fold with Sam going as far as to say it s generally a tier level higher Colors are brighter and more accurate and the telephoto hardware makes a noticeable difference in zoomed in shots That s even before using Google s Zoom Enhance software too Given Samsung has been using the same sensor for the main camera for the last three years that doesn t seem surprising but it s certainly a shame that those who shelled out for the Z Fold are stuck with poorer specs here It s strange too considering Samsung s main sensor is a higher res MP It s worth noting that Google s primary hardware update also gave the Pixel Pro Fold more of an edge since being able to use its ultra wide camera as a macro shooter made its close up shots better than Samsung s Plus Google continues to lead in low light photography producing sharper more vibrant and better exposed images than the Z Fold Sam Rutherford for Engadget In fact software is where the Pixel cameras continue to shine Google added new features like Add Me and Made You Look this year with the latter being an exclusive to the Pro Fold Makes sense since that uses the internal and external screens While you have the camera app open on the inside tapping an icon above the shutter button lets you choose between dual screen rear camera selfie or Made You Look Selecting the last one brings up four options of different cartoon animations and the respective character appears on the outside display The chicken or fish or blob will dance around and make noises to get the attention of your subject This is meant to work predominantly on children though I imagine it ll also pique the curiosity of cats and dogs I tried it out mostly on adults and got a slew of pictures of my friends looking incredulously at the camera Basically this works for people aged one and up When you re ready to edit your pictures you ll find the same suite of tools that are on the Pixel Pro That means things like Magic Editor Reimagine and Autoframe are also available to spruce up your shots I won t retread ground we already covered in that review but like we mentioned before these generative AI features are somewhat effective but occasionally problematic I like using it to create more bushes or greenery in the background so I can center my friends in a candid photo but find it concerning that Reimagine could be used to add wrecks disasters and corpses to pictures according to The Verge If you can stay away from the problematic AI tools though it s heartening to see that the Pixel Pro Fold can deliver photos that are as good as the ones I got from my iPhone Pro Max After all you re paying you should be getting flagship level cameras Performance and in use Sam Rutherford for Engadget Neither Sam nor I have had more than a week with the Pixel Pro Fold so it s a little too early to talk about longterm performance and daily use In general though so far we ve noticed the new Fold runs smoothly and coolly just like the other Pixel Pros That s largely thanks to the Tensor G processor and built in vapor chamber and of course maybe I just haven t had the Fold long enough but it never got too warm I enjoyed watching YouTube with Threads open next to it on the internal screen and the larger canvas also made Instagram pictures easier to scrutinize I wish more apps were compatible with the bigger format though since my recent favorite games like Fruit Merge don t expand to the full width and instead sit in the middle flanked by two bars of empty space It s also strange that flexing the screen which is supposed to automatically switch compatible apps into a half and half layout only works in landscape mode That means if you open YouTube bend the Pixel Pro Fold slightly and flip it so the rear camera is on the top left corner you ll see videos take up the top half of the display The bottom portion is where the title description comments and other videos sit This layout is intuitive and makes sense in the landscape orientation where the clip you re watching is propped up for easier viewing I just wish there was an equivalent when you re holding the Fold in portrait mode that would make the comments take up the right half of the display instead of the awkward column it currently uses Sam s experience with the Galaxy Z Fold leads him to find Samsung s taskbar a touch better for power users since you can set it to always stick around no matter what app you re on This makes it easier to launch apps in splitscreen or just jump between tasks It s also worth noting that Google doesn t support stylus input while Samsung does and the latter s DeX multitasking software is handy for productivity The Pixel Fold doesn t have such an interface where apps appear in floating windows though I do like when compatible apps display extra columns or sidebars when they re on the bigger screen Still these are generally minor quibbles that feel easy enough to solve with software updates you might receive over time If you re not a power user or itching to use a stylus with your foldable the Pixel Pro Fold is a solid option over the Galaxy Z Fold The Pixel Pro Fold s battery life The Pixel series has been delivering seriously good results on our video rundown battery test and the Pixel Pro Fold is no exception When running on just the external display the Fold clocked hours and minutes which is basically the same as what the standard Pixel got When using just the interior screen the Fold lasted hours and minutes which is impressive for how much larger the panel is Those numbers are about two to three hours better than the Galaxy Z Fold which notched hours and minutes when folded and when open The new Pixel Fold also beat its predecessor and the OnePlus Open as neither of those even passed the hour mark on our test Wrap up Although the Pixel Pro Fold is only Google s second foldable device it s already come a long way It both looks and feels better than before with a size and shape that is more similar to a standard phone when closed When open the device is easy to hold and provides a roomier canvas for light multitasking and gaming Plus compared to its main competition in the US the Pixel Fold spiritually anyway has a superior camera game and longer battery life It s also cheaper than the Galaxy Z Fold though it s still pretty pricey at Google s foldable line still has some quirks to work out but that s all part of growing up For a device that s only been around for two generations the Pixel Pro Fold is a solid foldable for anyone looking to dip their toe into flexible phones that can double as tablets This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
