Google issues surprise Pixel Drop with Gemini for Wear OS

Google today announced a surprise Pixel Drop, previously known as a Pixel Feature Drop. These usually come every three months but we weren't expecting one until September. So that's why they call it a surprise. It brings a free year of the Google AI Pro subscription to owners of the Pixel 9 Pro (and presumably the Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold as well). This includes access to Veo 3, Google's AI video creating tool. Next up, Circle to Search gets AI Mode integration, letting you access AI Mode's "advanced reasoning" to "explore complex topics and dig into your initial searches with follow-up questions" without switching apps. This works automatically when Google's systems "determine an AI response to be most helpful". If so, then an AI Overview will appear in your results, and from there you can tap on "dive deeper with AI Mode" to ask follow-up questions and "explore content across the web that's relevant to your visual search". AI Mode can also now be accessed through Lens via the Google app for Android and iOS. AI Mode in Circle to Search and Lens is currently only available in the US and India. Starting today, Circle to Search can also help you in games, giving you tips when you feel stuck. You'll even see suggested videos to help you further navigate your game. This is out today in the countries where AI Overviews are available. And speaking of AI Overviews, the responses should now be "easier to read, breaking down key information, and incorporating more visuals directly". Finally, Gemini is headed to Wear OS watches from Google, Samsung, Oppo, OnePlus, and Xiaomi. This will replace Google Assistant and will use the same advanced AI models as on your phone. Gemini on Wear OS lets you speak naturally, "understanding your speech patterns and delivering fast, concise responses" on your wrist. It also works across apps so you can ask it to send a message, create a playlist, summarize an email, add stuff to your calendar, and navigate places. You just need to enable action-taking within other Google apps like Gmail and Calendar on your paired phone. Gemini can also remember details you ask it to. It's rolling out to Wear OS watches running Wear OS 4 and later "over the coming weeks". Google Pixel 9 Pro Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold Source

Oppo K13 Turbo runs Geekbench with its built-in cooling fan

Oppo launched the K13 back in April, and at the end of that month we heard that it would be joined by the K13 Turbo, which has a pretty unique selling point - an integrated cooling fan, like a number of gaming-oriented phones out there. The K13 Turbo still isn't official, but it seems to be getting closer to that milestone, as it has today allegedly been spotted in the Geekbench database. As the previous rumor mentioned, it's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, paired in this specific prototype with a hefty 16GB of RAM. It will run Android 15 when it launches, despite the fact that Google has already released Android 16. The K13 Turbo has the model number PLE110, and it's still unclear which markets will get it. China is a given, but we are wondering whether it will also make it to India - it seems to be a rather intriguing package aimed at gamers, despite not being powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Via

And, considering the Fold 6 sold poorly, it was pretty bold of Samsung to increase the price again this year. Factor in the rumor that says the foldable iPhone will cost between $2,000 and $2,500, and it's easy to see where Samsung is going with this. Pricing often signals how premium a product is, and by bringing the price of the Fold 7 at the same level as the rumored foldable iPhone , the company wants to make sure that customers don't think of its product as being inferior to the rumored handset . Watch Samsung get away with things that may not have been possible before Recommended Stories Samsung argues that removing the feature allowed it to make the phone thinner, and I am no phone maker, but I do think that Samsung would have found a way to make it work if it wanted to. However, I am not surprised, as Apple seems to have this strange effect on companies and foldable iPhone , Samsung omitted the one thing that gave it an edge. At the end of the day, Galaxy Z Fold 7 got more things right than wrong, and that's what matters I guess. It also makes me more excited about the iPhone Fold or whatever it will end up being called. While I still can't justify dropping $2,000 on a foldable phone , I do think that if there's one company that will make foldable phones go mainstream, it's Apple, and once more people start buying them, they may become more affordable. I think we aren't creating enough fuss about the removal of the S Pen functionality.

These improvements mean that customers won't feel like they are missing out when they go for a Samsung foldable instead of a bendable device from another manufacturer. The updated design also brings it closer to normal phones, which don't feel like a brick in your hands. The wider outer display looks more like a traditional phone right now, so it won't feel cramped when you are using the phone in the folded it's true that Samsung had been losing ground to Chinese rivals and foldable sales had been slumping, the fact that it took so long for the company to make the desired changes indicates that the South Korean giant is worried about the impending threat that's, which Apple is expected to announce next says that Apple doesn't want to leave any stone unturned to make athat's as close to a conventional iPhone as it's possible.
