1. Pixel: 5G hints, Google camera lead goes to Adobe
Two bits of Google Pixel related news:
The other bit of news is where the Pixel photography professor ended up, and what might play out:
2.Samsung says it will unveil five ‘power’ devices at August 5 Unpacked event(Android Authority). Here’s alow-res peek of the Galaxy Fold 2, too, which appears to confirm a much bigger front screen on the device. Andhere’s Samsung’s own tease(Twitter).
3.The iPhone SE is the highlight of a grim US smartphone market: Most phone makers took a steep hit in Q2, including Samsung and LG (Android Authority).
- WatchOS 7: Soon,your Apple Watch will know just how fit you really are. Is that a threat? (CNET).
5.Windows 10Xmight not arrive until 2021 (The Verge). Also,Microsoft-owned Minecraft will finally stop using Amazon AWS, and switch to Azure. Only took six years! (CNBC).
- The creators of Monument Valleyhave a new game out later this year: Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, vastly different to anything from Ustwo we’ve seen before. iOS first, and it may be a long wait before it hits Android (Android Authority).
Cryptocurrency exchangeCoinbase says it prevented 1,000 customers and $280,000 in Bitcoinbeing sent to the Twitter hack address, by limiting transactions to that address.

Former Soundcloud foundershave a new e-bike subscription service called Dance, launching here in Berlin today (TechCrunch). Interesting: e-bikes are great, but at a few thousand euros, iffy resale, and depreciation, plus theft problems, they are a risk. This idea of a subscription could work.
On that note, I also really like what Dutch-based startupBikeFair(bikefair.org) is doing, offering only legal bikes in a fresh and friendlier buyer/seller marketplace.
