Every month, Google sends me a report on my online activity, and I must say that I'm not a fan. In fact, the idea that Google is tracking me via Maps disturbs me. That's not the only issue I have with the default Maps app. It seems that every time I have to rely on the app, my Pixel 9 Pro's battery drains faster than when using any other app.

BMW engineers drove an iX3 from the factory where it's built in Hungary to Munich on one charge with range to spare. The trip was 626 miles and the vehicle completed the journey with 2% and 12 miles remaining. The route avoided highways, and the vehicle had climate, comfort and media features turned off for maximum efficiency. Electric vehicle range estimates are really just a suggestion, and you can easily exceed them with some careful driving and route planning.

We have another new Google phone in for review - the Pixel 10 Pro. It ships in a retail box with the European Union's new Energy label, containing information about the phone's battery endurance and life cycles, drop resistance, water resistance, and repairability. The lines between Google's Pixel phones this year are as blurry as they comw. Pictured below are the 10 Pro (on the left) and the 10, and you'll notice that both have the same stature and a very similar camera stack.

The Honor Magic8 Mini will be powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 SoC, differing from the Snapdragon chipsets used in the Magic7 devices.
