Pixel 9 Pro
Google has posted a new video reminding Pixel users of a benefit that may have been overlooked during this month's feature drop. While most of the attention on July 9 went to the Gemini smartwatch update, another perk quietly launched at the same time. Pixel 9 Pro owners now get a free one-year subscription to Google AI Pro. This unlocks access to premium Gemini features, including the new Veo 3 video tool. With Veo 3, users can describe an idea to Gemini and receive a high-quality video in return, complete with natural sound and smooth animation.The video shows how users can start by uploading an image from their photo gallery and entering a prompt like "a child running through a sunflower field." Gemini uses that input to generate a short video that brings the scene to life. The results are meant to showcase what's possible with creative AI on mobile. Gemini AI Pro is Google's top-tier AI subscription. It includes tools powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro, which is more capable than the free version. Veo 3 is one of the newest tools in this bundle. It stands out because it can generate realistic motion and audio, rather than just still images.This move continues Google's pattern of adding exclusive AI features to its high-end Pixel devices. In 2023, Pixel 8 Pro was the first to get Gemini Nano. Now,users are the first to try Veo 3 through the Gemini app, thanks to this free trial.This latest update also shows how AI is playing a bigger role in Google's feature drop strategy. For Pixel users, Veo 3 offers a new kind of creative tool that goes beyond editing photos or writing text. The tool has received attention for its ability to produce video content that appears surprisingly realistic, with natural motion, coherent scenes, and believable soundscapes.

Android Auto's new look is here, but not everyone's on board
Android Auto just got a rare design update, but not everyone is happy about it. As part of a recent rollout, Google applied its Material You interface to Android Auto's music player, creating a more unified look that matches your phone's wallpaper. The problem is that it replaces the dynamic album art backgrounds, and some users are calling it a visual downgrade. Top is before and bottom is after. | Image credit — @Adil15101 The music player now pulls background colors from your Android wallpaper instead of using the currently playing track's album art. This change was meant to bring consistency across the interface, but it's also flattened the look and stripped away one of the music player's most distinctive visual user Adil15101 shared a side-by-side image comparing the old and new layouts. The older interface displayed vibrant backgrounds tied to the music, while the new one opts for blander, wallpaper-based palettes that don't always fit the vibe of what you're listening to. This design decision follows a broader update we recently covered, where Android Auto officially adopted Material You theming. The update allows your car's display to match your Android phone's wallpaper color palette, bringing a more cohesive visual identity across screens. While some users appreciate the polish, it's clear the music player changes have proven controversial. So much unused space... | Image credit — @flcinusa The update also tweaks the layout. The seekbar has been moved below the timestamp, and the album art is now smaller, creating what many are calling a cluttered-yet-empty feel — particularly on cars with portrait-oriented displays. Reddit user flcinusa noted that the already-reduced album art looks 'comically tiny' on their display. While the repositioned seekbar may reduce accidental touches, it creates odd spacing and visual imbalance, making better use of the space feel like an afterthought. To be fair, Material You is a big UI leap for Android Auto, which has traditionally been more utilitarian and function-focused. Google has also confirmed it's also working on a light theme, climate control integration, and Gemini AI voice features — all part of a broader push to modernize the platform. But for now, this refresh seems to be the decision based on the users' feedback. And for music lovers used to bold, dynamic album art backgrounds, this latest change might feel more like a step backward than forward.

Here's why the Galaxy S26 Ultra's camera upgrade matters, but won't grant it the king's crown
When it comes to camera phones, nobody should disregard Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra… and Galaxy Ultra phones as a whole. They've proven to be tough, potent and capable. Yet, many choose to go with a phone made by another it because Samsung's Ultra flagships are too expensive for some?Yeah, money could definitely be a decisive factor. For example, the Galaxy S25 Ultra (12 GB of RAM, 256 GB storage – the baseline model) was launched at $1,300 some months ago. Not counting various trade-in offers or carrier-locked offers, I must say: $1,300 is a lot. A year ago I was able to get a Galaxy S24 Ultra rival from China (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on board, same RAM and storage, plus four 50 MP cameras and a 1-inch sensor on its back) for about $750.I don't know about you, but a $550 difference is a lot in my book. Especially if I'm not getting a $550 difference in real-life usage. So, if I was on the lookout for a great camera phone right now, I'd definitely look into the possibility of getting the S25 Ultra… but I'd definitely the end of the day, it's not just money. People also pay attention to hardware numbers and specs. As popular and as good the Galaxy series may be, the truth is that Samsung doesn't offer the most impressive, cutting-edge hardware when it comes to photography and why I almost popped a champagne bottle yesterday, when I stumbled upon the following PhoneArena article title:I was so-o-o sure it's a new main camera sensor that was promised. Good that I didn't open that champagne bottle, though: it turns out that this huge upgrade is a new, brighter don't get me wrong – I'm all for brighter lenses (that's what a lens with a large aperture is called: "bright"). As a rule of thumb, the larger the aperture – the better. Bright lenses are always more refined, more expensive, more I can't wash away that foul taste in my mouth either: when will Samsung step in the 1-inch sensor territory? The Galaxy S25 Ultra for reference. | Image by PhoneArena When you hear about upgrades to a phone's camera, most people immediately think of more megapixels or bigger sensors. But in reality, smartphone photography is shaped by a combination of many things. Camera sensors in smartphones have evolved rapidly. While many flagship phones – especially from Chinese brands like Xiaomi and Oppo – have already adopted 1-inch-type sensors, Samsung has stuck with smaller sensors on its Ultra line. The S24 Ultra uses the 1/1.3" ISOCELL HP2 sensor, which is expected to be used on the S25 Ultra. While a 1/1.3" sensor is definitely large (in comparison to what mid-rangers pack), it's still smaller than a 1-inch sensors have clear benefits: better low-light performance, improved dynamic range, and more natural depth of field. Features like pixel binning, which merges multiple pixels into one for brighter, cleaner photos, help smaller sensors stay competitive. Autofocus systems have also improved, with technologies like Dual Pixel and laser focus enhancing accuracy. And of course, periscope lenses have become common for achieving long-range zoom without compromising phone many feel Samsung has fallen behind by not moving to a larger sensor. In 2025, a 1-inch sensor isn't groundbreaking – it's what I expect from Samsung in the future. That particular future is not happening in 2026, per current rumors. And while sensor size isn't everything, it's a key part of the equation, especially for a device marketed as the best camera phone money can buy. The Galaxy S25 Ultra for reference. | Image by PhoneArena That brings us to lenses and apertures. The aperture – measured by an f-number like f/1.4 or f/2.2 – tells you how wide the lens can open to let in light. The lower the number, the wider the opening, and the more light that hits the sensor. A brighter (lower f-number) lens can dramatically improve photo quality, especially in low-light situations. It allows for faster shutter speeds and lower ISO settings, both of which help reduce blur and noise. Again, reports suggest the Galaxy S26 Ultra will get a brighter main lens, likely improving indoor and night photography compared to the f/1.7 lens on the S25 Ultra. The Galaxy S25 Ultra for reference. | Image by PhoneArena The expected change on the S26 Ultra is a meaningful one – but only up to a point. A great lens matters most once you've crossed a certain threshold in sensor quality. If your sensor is still relatively small, the benefits of a brighter lens are limited. For example, the same APS-C sensor paired with an f/1.4 lens will outperform that same sensor with an f/2.2 lens, especially in low light. But if you shrink the sensor too far, even the best lens can't fully can a lens actually be too bright? In some cases, yes. While a wide aperture lets in more light, it can also reduce depth of field too much, especially on larger sensors – leading to parts of the subject being out of focus. It can also cause issues with lens aberrations or softness at the edges of the frame. In the end, Samsung's decision to upgrade the lens rather than the sensor isn't pointless – but it feels overdue. For a phone line that markets itself as a camera king, the hardware needs to reflect that ambition. A better lens is a good step. A bigger sensor would be a serious leap!
