The Ti7 isn’t an entirely new car however, as it was made available for several regions prior to the UK. BYD says that the car will be the largest and most versatile model from its lineup, and is perfect for large families and owners with active lifestyles. It is unsurprisingly large, measuring 16.88 feet long, 6.55 feet wide, and 6.12 feet tall, with a robust exterior featuring a rather boxy look that doesn’t sacrifice looks for utility.

Inside, the Ti7 fits three rows of seats in addition to a spacious compartment; it also comes with BYD’s Dual Mode Performance (DM-p) plug-in hybrid powertrain, which is driven by two electric motors which run all four wheels. The car is also built with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which on paper allows a 0-62mph time of 4.8 seconds in addition to an electric combined range of up to 79 miles.

With all that being said, BYD hasn’t revealed everything about the car just yet although it promises to release more information (such as pricing and in-depth specifications) in the weeks to come.

More specifically, Google Beam will use HP Dimension’s immersive display technology to render participants joining from standard, non-Beam devices in an approximated true physical size while positioning them virtually around a shared table. This is then paired with spatial audio that anchors each voice directly to the person speaking, which in theory should create a more seamless environment where colleagues look, sound, and feel like they are in the same room.

The update applies automatically for both remote and in-office participants, and Google also confirmed it is continuing its ongoing collaboration with Workspace and Zoom to further integrate and elevate standard meeting experiences on the Google Beam platform. Jeff Smith, Head of Product, Zoom Workplace comments:

Zoom is known for meetings that just work, and now we’re bringing our most-loved features into Google Beam for Zoom to deliver a best-in-class collaboration experience for every meeting.

Based on research, Google says that features like these address the hybrid “inclusion gap” directly, and in turn drives a 50% stronger sense of social connection and a 21% increase in a participant’s reported ability to contribute to conversations.

Moving away from the usual plastic build, the new headphones feature a premium metal construction with a matte sandblasted texture in addition to hand-polished gloss finishes. You’re also getting soft vegan leather, tactile metal buttons, and Sony adds that it has redesigned the fit with wider, cushioned headbands for better comfort.

Inside, 1000X THE COLLEXION packs a carbon composite driver for high-frequency detail and instrument separation. Sony adds that it’s made adjustment to the headphones’ acoustic tuning in collaboration with Grammy-winning mastering engineers, backed by a new integrated processor and an expanded 360 Reality Audio Upmix feature. The headphones are also the first in the lineup to use DSEE Ultimate, an Edge-AI technology that upscales compressed digital audio tracks in real time.

In addition to the 1000X, Sony also launched a brand-new Sandstone colorway for its standard WH-1000XM6 headphones; the 1000X THE COLLEXION is available in Platinum and Black finishes for $649.99, while the new Sandstone WH-1000XM6 is available for $459.99.

LG says that the new monitor is designed for competitive esports like first-person shooter (FPS) games, which combines its 1000Hz refresh rate with a native 1920x1080p resolution. You’re getting a 24.5-inch IPS panel with a low-reflection film to reduce glare, along with built-in Motion Blur Reduction Pro technology. As with most other consumer electronics hardware these days, the 25G590B comes with AI features such as AI Scene Optimization that can adjust picture settings based on game genre, and AI Sound which cleans up spatial audio and voice chat when paired with supported headsets.

The UltraGear 25G590B is scheduled to launch in select markets during the second half of 2026, with global availability expanding throughout the remainder of the year. Lee Choong-hwoan, head of Display Business at LG’s Media Entertainment Solution Company comments:

This is a defining moment for gaming monitors… By delivering the world’s first native 1000Hz FHD gaming monitor, LG has established a new performance benchmark for competitive gaming.

More recently though, Xiaomi recently announced that it’s once again set a new Nürburgring Nordschleife milestone, this time with the Xiaomi YU7 GT, a new high-powered electric SUV and the latest addition to its model lineup. For this recent test, YU7 GT was able to set a new Nürburgring Nordschleife SUV lap record with a lap time of 7 minutes and 34.931 seconds. According to a statement from Xiaomi:

By setting a new SUV lap record, the Xiaomi YU7 GT demonstrates that Xiaomi is not only focusing on smart technology and electric mobility, but also on serious driving performance and vehicle dynamics.

Alongside the vehicle achievement, Xiaomi Auto also confirmed that Ren Zhoucan, Xiaomi Auto’s chief test driver, became the first Chinese driver to receive official Nürburgring lap time certification.

Xiaomi adds that the new record further solidifies representation both for the company and Chinese motorsport in general, especially when it comes to high-level automotive testing and performance. The Xiaomi YU7 GT will make its official debut tomorrow, May 21 in China.

The standout feature is its battery: 8,000mAh with 90W wired fast charging and bypass charging. Bypass charging lets the phone pull power straight from the charger during heavy gaming sessions rather than routing it through the battery, cutting down on heat buildup. Most flagships ship with batteries between 5,000mAh and 6,000mAh, so this is a significant step up.

The chip is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, not the Elite version, but firmly in premium territory. RAM goes up to 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra, storage up to 1TB UFS 4.1. Cooling gets serious attention too. A triple-layer system combines a 5,500mm2 vapor chamber, liquid metal thermal paste, and high-conductivity gel. Lenovo says this drops CPU core temps by around 7 degrees Celsius under load.

Display, Camera, and Everything Else

The Lenovo Legion Y70 display is a 6.82-inch BOE Q10 AMOLED, 2K resolution, 144Hz adaptive refresh, 360Hz touch sampling, and up to 7,000 nits peak brightness. Dolby Vision and DC dimming are on board. Lenovo claims the panel uses less power than the 1.5K screens found on competing gaming phones, which matters during long sessions.

The Lenovo Legion Y70 carries a 50MP Sony LYT-710 main sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide, a 2-in-1 auxiliary sensor, and a 32MP front camera. IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings cover dust and water resistance across the board. The phone runs Android 16 and supports dual physical SIMs plus dual eSIM. The confirmed starting price is CNY 3,999, roughly $555 at current exchange rates. No global launch has been announced.

As we previously noted when the comeback was first teased, Lenovo has historically kept Legion phones in China. Nothing yet suggests that’s changing. For anyone in the market for a dedicated gaming phone in regions where it does land, the 8,000mAh battery alone sets it apart from the field.

The idea is straightforward. You can add items while browsing Search, chatting with Gemini, watching YouTube, or reading Gmail. Once something is in there, the cart runs in the background. It tracks price drops, surfaces price history, alerts you when something is back in stock, and flags deals.

It’s built on Google Wallet, so it already knows your payment methods, loyalty programs, and merchant offers, surfacing savings without you having to dig. Google’s PC builder example from I/O shows where this goes beyond a basic wishlist. Add components from multiple retailers and the cart flags compatibility issues before checkout. Things like a processor that won’t work with the motherboard you picked.

When and Where You Can Use It

Google Universal Cart rolls out across Search and the Gemini app in the US this summer. YouTube and Gmail come later, with no specific dates. When you’re ready to buy, you can check out through Google Pay with participating merchants, including Nike, Target, Walmart, Wayfair, Sephora, and Shopify stores. Or transfer your items to the retailer’s site and finish the purchase there.

The more ambitious piece sitting underneath all of this is AP2, Google’s Agent Payments Protocol. It’s designed to let AI agents buy things on your behalf within limits you set: specific brands, products, and a spending cap. Google says AP2 is coming to its own products in the coming months. It’s the part of this announcement with the most long-term implications, and the hardest to pull off. OpenAI tried something similar with in-chat purchasing in 2025 and quietly retreated, rerouting users back to retailer sites. Whether Google’s version holds up at scale is still an open question.

The game comes from Intelligent Systems, the actual studio behind WarioWare. Some of the minigames shown so far: stretching someone’s mouth to eat food, feeding a tongue a lollipop, plucking nose hairs, zipping a mouth shut, and dressing grandpa as a ballerina.

There are 80 in total, running at normal, high-speed, and danger zone difficulty. Pictonico also adds a Score Attack mode, a board game-style stage challenge, and a daily fortune-telling mode that reads your chosen photo and spits out predictions. Nintendo says your photos stay on your device and are never shared.

Pricing and How to Try It

Pictonico is free to download, but it follows the Nintendo “free-to-start” model. Only three minigames are playable without paying. The rest require buying game volumes: Volume 1 is $5.99 and Volume 2 is $7.99. Nintendo hasn’t said how many minigames are in each volume, but the full 80 are spread across both.

Pictonico launches May 28 on iOS and Android. Pre-registration is live now on the App Store and Google Play. Nintendo has had mixed results with mobile games over the years, but this one looks like a different kind of experiment. It probably works best when you have people around to share in the chaos.

The post Nintendo’s new Pictonico game turns your camera roll into WarioWare chaos appeared first on Phandroid.

However, the difference becomes more obvious with anything specific. Ask for tips on teaching a kid to ride a bike. Instead of a ranked list of thumbnails, you get a curated response with the most relevant clips surfaced. Ask YouTube points you to the exact moment in a video where the answer is, with the channel name and title right there. Follow-up questions work in the same session without starting over, so you can keep narrowing things down naturally. The feature draws from YouTube’s video library and real-time web information combined.

Who Can Use It and How to Try It

Ask YouTube is live now for YouTube Premium subscribers in the US who are 18 and older. Head to youtube.com/new and opt in. A broader rollout to all users is planned, with no date confirmed yet. One thing worth knowing: playlists and Premium-exclusive content don’t appear in Ask YouTube results, so some videos won’t surface even when they’re relevant.

This is part of YouTube’s wider AI push over the past year, which has already brought AI summaries and creator tools to the platform. YouTube notes that accuracy can vary, and the feature isn’t designed for medical, legal, or financial advice. The real test comes when it opens up to everyone.

The post YouTube’s new Ask YouTube feature changes how you find videos appeared first on Phandroid.

Instead of describing a scene from scratch, you can feed Gemini Omni an existing video clip, a voice memo, a sketch, or any mix of those, and build from there. You can refine the result through conversation, swapping characters, backgrounds, or objects just by asking. Google’s claymation protein folding demo at I/O showed what that looks like in practice. One prompt, a stop-motion style explainer with voice narration.

The first version rolling out now, Gemini Omni Flash, generates clips up to 10 seconds long. Google says that’s a product choice rather than a model limit, and longer videos are coming. Every clip gets an invisible SynthID watermark baked in, verifiable through the Gemini app or Google Search.

The Feature Google Is Holding Back

Here’s the one thing Gemini Omni won’t do yet. Audio and speech editing, changing what someone says in an existing video, is absent from this launch. Google said explicitly that it’s still working out how to bring that to users responsibly. It’s a notable gap given how close the demos came to that territory. You can create a personal digital avatar to appear in videos, but it requires recording yourself speaking a series of numbers first as an anti-deepfake step.

Gemini Omni Flash is live now in the Gemini app and Google Flow for Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers. YouTube Shorts users get it free later this week. A developer API arrives in the coming weeks, and a higher-tier Omni Pro model was teased with details to follow. The speech editing capability will come eventually. Google just isn’t ready to ship it.

The post Google’s Gemini Omni can make video from almost anything appeared first on Phandroid.

The first change is the one everyone will actually see. Google redesigned the search box for the first time in over 25 years. It expands as you type, making room for longer, more conversational questions. There are also AI-powered suggestions that go beyond autocomplete, designed to anticipate what you’re asking rather than just finishing your sentence. You can now attach images, files, videos, and open Chrome tabs directly to a query too. This redesign is rolling out now in all countries and languages where AI Mode is already available. It’s free.

The More Interesting Part Is Paywalled

The bigger news is something called information agents. Think of them as a modern take on Google Alerts, the notification tool Google launched back in 2003. These agents run in the background around the clock. They scan the web and push you a synthesized update when something relevant to a topic you care about changes. Google’s apartment hunting example sums it up: tell the agent what you’re looking for and it notifies you when a matching listing appears, rather than you searching over and over.

Google is also adding Generative UI, which builds custom interactive layouts for complex questions like tables, graphs, and simulations. Mini apps are coming too. They let you build persistent project spaces for ongoing tasks, like planning a move or tracking a home renovation.

Here’s where it gets split. Generative UI is free and coming this summer. Information agents and mini apps are for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers only when they launch this summer, so the most capable new features sit behind a paywall at launch. AI Mode, which launched last year, now has over one billion monthly users and runs on Gemini 3.5 Flash globally.

Google also confirmed that AI Overviews support direct follow-up questions flowing into AI Mode, making the jump from a standard search result to a full AI conversation automatic. The Google Search AI upgrade is happening in waves. The search box is live today. The rest lands later this year.

The post Google Search AI upgrade brings agents and a new look appeared first on Phandroid.

The biggest consumer-facing win is battery life. Google says watches moving from Wear OS 6 to Wear OS 7 can expect up to 10% better average battery life through software alone. That sounds modest. But smartwatch battery gains come in small steps, and an extra hour or two matters when you’re trying to finish a workout or a night of sleep tracking without hunting for a charger.

What Else Is New in Wear OS 7

Tiles are getting replaced. Google is swapping them out for a new widget system in two sizes, mirroring Android’s phone widget layouts. The goal is a more consistent feel between your phone and watch. Live Updates are also coming to the wrist, showing real-time info like a food delivery countdown or navigation progress right on your watch face. Media controls are getting an upgrade too. You can now decide which apps trigger the media player on your watch. A new Remote Output Switcher also lets you redirect audio to Bluetooth headphones, a phone speaker, or a Google Cast device without touching your phone.

Now for that catch. Wear OS 7 is bringing Gemini Intelligence to smartwatches, built around a new AppFunctions API. The idea is that third-party apps can plug into Gemini for voice-driven tasks. Google’s example was telling Gemini to place a DoorDash order straight from your wrist. Sounds useful. But this feature is limited to select watches launching later in 2026, and Google hasn’t specified which devices will qualify.

If you’re already wearing a Pixel Watch 4, that’s a meaningful caveat. Gemini has been rolling out to Pixel Watch models since last year, but this deeper integration looks like it’s reserved for new hardware. The Samsung Galaxy Watch side of the equation is equally vague right now.

Wear OS 7 Canary is live for developers via an emulator. The broader consumer rollout is expected later this year.
