      Google has officially announced the deployment of a powerful Gemini AI feature that enables the intelligence to perceive what it sees. This initiative began in March with the unveiling of Gemini Live, but it is now more widely accessible. However, before getting too thrilled, it’s important to note that, at this moment, it is only available on the Google Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25.

      Until now, Gemini has been somewhat limited, though still impressive. It has been capable of understanding voice, images, PDFs, and even YouTube videos. Now, through Project Astra, Gemini can also recognize what is displayed on your screen. This means you can give the AI access to your screen and inquire about what is happening, allowing it to comprehend and respond.

      Perhaps even more practically, you can share your rear camera feed with Gemini to discuss what you observe in the physical world. Sound familiar? Yes, this resembles the technology Apple Intelligence was hinting at acquiring last year. Yet, Apple has reportedly faced challenges with this release, leading to speculation that we may have to wait until iOS 19, or even longer, to see it on iPhones.

      While the launch is currently limited, it will soon be accessible to all Gemini Live subscribers using Android devices.

      To activate Gemini Live on your phone, one method is to open the Gemini overlay and choose “Share screen with Live.” Another option is to launch Gemini Live and select the screen share icon. In both cases, a small red timer icon will appear at the top of the screen to indicate that you are being viewed and heard by Gemini Live; you can click it for more information. This entire experience feels akin to being on a call with a real person, further blurring the distinctions between human and AI.

      Official Galaxy S25 Edge colors revealed in a notable new leak

      The Galaxy S25 Edge is arguably the most exciting Samsung phone scheduled for release this year. The sleek and lightweight device is expected to stand out from other Samsung phones with only two rear cameras, in addition to its distinctive thickness. With its launch anticipated in a few weeks, several leaks have emerged showcasing the design and specifications of the phone. The latest leak enhances our understanding of the color variants of the Galaxy S25 Edge.

      In a recent leak, official-looking digital renders of the Galaxy S25 Edge have been released. Aligning with earlier leaks, the most recent one from WinFuture presents the S25 Edge in three colors: Jet Black, a subtle Icy Blue, and Silver, the latter of which may have appeared in a leaked hands-on video from earlier this week.

      So far this year, Samsung has launched several devices—the Galaxy S25 series debuted in early January, followed by the Galaxy A56 at the start of March, and new home appliances have rolled out as well.

      The Oppo Find N5 should have been the OnePlus Open 2, here’s why

      A phone manufacturer rarely manages to surprise you consistently, but Oppo and OnePlus have managed to do so with their foldable phones. The OnePlus Open—OnePlus’s inaugural foldable based on the Oppo Find N3—has been widely acclaimed as the best folding phone since its release in October 2013.

      The successor was expected to be the Oppo Find N5. I have spent the past month testing Oppo’s latest folding phone, and it currently ranks as my favorite foldable. It delivers a significantly enhanced experience compared to the OnePlus Open, but there is one drawback: it's not available for purchase.
