The technology sector just witnessed a seismic shift. With the announcement that Abu Dhabi’s tech investment vehicle, MGX, has raised a staggering US$49 billion for a dedicated artificial intelligence fund, the global tech landscape has officially entered a new era. This is not just another venture capital pool; the Abu Dhabi MGX AI fund represents a massive institutional validation of AI as the defining economic engine of the next century. By eclipsing its original US$45 billion target, MGX isn't merely participating in the tech boom-it is aggressively positioning itself to dictate its direction. What makes the new Abu Dhabi MGX AI fund a game-changer? In my view, the sheer scale of this fund alters the venture capital ecosystem entirely. Raising US$49 billion in a climate where some tech stocks are experiencing volatility shows incredible contrarian conviction. This capital gives MGX unmatched structural leverage. The fund allows Abu Dhabi to anchor the most capital-intensive pr...
new Pixel 10 is undoubtedly the highlight of Google’s latest Pixel 10 lineupthis year, owing to its major improvements in performance, battery, charging, and camera.
The new 5x telephoto lens marks the first of its kind for the base Pixel, and it means that an $800 Google phone ostensibly delivers the same great Pixel experience as the flagship Pixel 10 Pro series. Yet, this overlooks just how good Google’s Pro lineup is.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL features a 5,200 mAh battery, which is the largest in a regular Pixel phone, taking the top crown from the 5,100 mAh battery in the affordable Pixel 9a.
Meanwhile, its chief rivals have smaller batteries; the Galaxy S25 Ultra measures 5,000 mAh, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max has a 4,685 mAh battery, although Apple’s software optimizations ensure the actual battery life belies its hardware capacity.
Pixel 10 Pro XL battery marks a small increase over the 5,060 mAh battery in the Pixel 9 Pro XL, which already delivered top-of-the-class battery life, so there’s little reason to expect this year’s flagship Pixel to be any different. The new Tensor G5 processor could yet yield better efficiency than the Tensor G4, although it is likely to draw more power like its rivals, the Snapdragon 8 Elite that powers most Android phones.
Pixel 10 Pro series is the first Google phone to match the 100x zoom feature from the Galaxy S25 Ultra. However, we haven’t tested it yet, so we can’t comment on how it compares. It also features 8K video recording at 30fps, although this requires an internet connection. Android 16 and Material 3 Expressive UI deliver a host of improvements and flourishes, including several new Gemini features such as Magic Cue for contextual smart replies.
