One UI 7 is one of the biggest software upgrades for Galaxy devices in recent years. It was released with the Galaxy S25 series at the Galaxy Unpacked event in January. The newest flagship phones running One UI 7 pack a host of software goodies, including several Galaxy AI features such as Now Bar, Now Brief, and more. Since these features were unveiled alongside One UI 7, many (including some of us at Gizmochina) assumed they would also roll out to older Galaxy devices with the update. But that won’t be the case as some Galaxy AI features may remain exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series.
Sally Jeong, EVP and Head of Framework R&D at Samsung MX, revealed some interesting details about the One UI 7 software in a recent interview published by Samsung Indonesia. She said that planning alone took more than two years before development even started. This is probably the biggest reason behind the significant delay in the release and rollout of One UI 7.
During the interview, Sally was asked about the role of NPUs and GPUs in powering these new AI features on the Galaxy S25, and the response was quite surprising. Samsung’s AI features can be divided into two categories: those that rely on on-device hardware and those that rely on the cloud. Sally said the “Personal Data Engine” in One UI 7 that powers features like Now Brief requires advanced chipsets and hardware like the Snapdragon 8 Elite on the Galaxy S25 series.
Sally also mentioned that cloud-based AI features, such as Circle to Search, are easier to roll out to a wide range of Galaxy devices. But for deeper on-device AI experiences, powerful hardware is required. This means some AI features that require extensive on-device processing might not come to older Galaxy devices after installing One UI 7.
The Samsung executive didn’t specify which Galaxy AI feature won’t make the cut to older Galaxy devices, nor did she reveal details about the ineligible devices. Now Brief could be one of them, which has, so far, not been seen in the One UI 7 betas for the Galaxy S24 series, as spotted by Android Police.
We’ll get to know more as and when One UI 7 starts rolling out, which is already too delayed. Samsung still hasn’t announced the rollout plans. If leaks are anything to go by, we shouldn’t expect it anytime soon, at least before April. You can read more about it in our One UI 7 section.

The feature is simple to use and great accessibility but requires you to have an internet connection.
Perplexity
Perplexity AI chatbot is one of the best in the market. The Perplexity AI assistant has been touted for its reliability, up to date answers, and capable search feature. The Thread Follow-Up feature allows users to also maintain ongoing conversations for comprehensive understanding. But one of its greatest aspects is undoubtedly the tool’s commitment to transparency with cited sources for every answer.

Leonardo AI
Another tool that has recently risen in popularity is Leonardo AI. It is a powerful AI powered tools that employ machine learning to create images, videos, and designs similar to OpenAI’s Dall-E. This AI app is also completely free to download and has a simple UI, which lets you get into image generation quickly and easily. It also has a gallery of creations where users can share these generated images as well. Owing to its popularity, people have already created over 700 million AI artworks already.

There have been plenty of rumors regarding Apple working on a new ultra slim iPhone model, which could be called the iPhone 17 Air. We recently saw the device in concept renders, and now, another set of renders has just leaked that showcase a slightly different design language. So let’s check it out.
Apple iPhone 17 Air New Renders Leaked
The Cupertino based giant’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air surfaced in a video from Front Page Tech that offers us a look at the device from all sides. Its ultra slim body is in full view, which could measure just under 6mm in thickness. But one of the biggest changes in the entire new iPhone model is the camera module. Ditching the minimalistic look from the other recent iPhones, this render showcases the iPhone 17 Air with a pill shaped module.
This appears similar to the visor on the Google Pixel smartphones. The renders are in line with previous reports, since we can only see a single camera on the back (likely a 48MP sensor) along with an LED flash module. The entire placement in this pill shaped module is different from the concept render we covered yesterday. Apple may bring the Dynamic Island on the front, while the A19 chip could power this device.
Apple iPhone 17 Air
The iPhone 17 Air and Galaxy S25 Slim (Samsung’s own slim phone competitor) might also launch with the smallest batteries on a 2025 smartphone. The Air model could be borrowing its name from the brand’s MacBook Air lineup and is expected to offer a 120Hz ProMotion display, Apple’s 5G modem, the A19 chip, Wi-Fi 7, and a more durable display glass. It could launch for around 1000 US Dollars between September and October 2025. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more.

The Realme P3x has officially been announced in the Indian market along with the Realme P3 Pro. The latest device from the brand is a budget smartphone model but packs some impressive specs for its affordable pricing. So here are its features, pricing, and other key details.
Realme P3x: What makes it special?

A massive 6,000mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 45W wired fast charging.

Samsung’s Android 15-based One UI 7.0 skin is expected to bring a cool new feature named “Now Bar” to affordable Galaxy devices, which is currently exclusive to the Galaxy S25 and S24 series (running on One UI 7 beta).
The “Now Bar” is a small pill-shaped widget that sits at the bottom center of your lock screen. It gives you quick info about stuff happening on your phone, like music playback, voice recordings, or timers. It’s like a mini command center that keeps you updated with certain information without having to unlock your phone or dig through apps. The big news is that it’s not staying exclusive to high-end models.
Affordable Galaxy phones are rumored to get the feature
Samsung launched the Galaxy A06 back in August 2024 and is known to be working on a 5G version of it. According to a recent leak, the 5G version will not only pack a faster chip and a higher refresh rate but also boast the above-mentioned software feature.
As Galaxy A06 5G is one of Samsung’s most budget-friendly models, the higher-end A series models that are eligible for the One UI 7 update are also expected to get the “Now Bar” feature.
Nonetheless, don’t expect much of the AI feature to be rolled out to the A series, as they require the flagship chipset and more RAM for proper functioning.
Now, here’s the not-so-great part. Samsung hasn’t released the stable One UI 7.0 update yet, which is a bit unusual. According to Samsung, One UI 7.0 is a “breakthrough” update, which requires more work, and is what’s causing the delay. Unfortunately, they haven’t given a clear timeline for when the update will finally drop. Here’s more about the delay.
Choosing between the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Pixel 9 Pro XL is a tough decision, as both are flagship devices pushing the boundaries of smartphone technology. Samsung brings top-tier hardware, premium build, and powerful performance, while Google focuses on AI-driven software, an exceptional camera, and a competitive price. This comparison is crucial for those looking to invest in a high-end phone, whether for photography, productivity, or long-term value.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra has a premium titanium frame with Corning Gorilla Armor 2, making it extremely durable and scratch-resistant. The 6.9-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display supports 2600 nits peak brightness, offering stunning visuals, especially outdoors. The Pixel 9 Pro XL, on the other hand, features an aluminum frame with Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which is solid but slightly less durable. Its 6.8-inch LTPO OLED panel peaks at 3000 nits, making it brighter.
Both phones have 120Hz refresh rates, ensuring smooth performance, but Samsung’s higher resolution (1440 x 3120) and improved protection give it an edge.
The Pixel 9 Pro XL is lighter, but Samsung’s build feels more robust, making it the better choice for durability.
2. Specifications
Galaxy S25 Ultra
The S25 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm), an industry-leading chipset, while the Pixel 9 Pro XL runs on Google’s Tensor G4 (4nm). While the Tensor G4 is optimized for AI and efficiency, the Snapdragon 8 Elite outperforms it in raw power and efficiency, especially for gaming and intensive tasks.
In terms of battery, the S25 Ultra has a 5000mAh battery with 45W wired charging and 15W wireless charging, whereas the Pixel 9 Pro XL has a slightly larger 5060mAh battery but with slower 37W wired charging.
The Pixel’s 23W wireless charging with the Pixel Stand is a plus, but Samsung’s faster-wired charging makes it the better choice for users needing quick top-ups.
3. Camera
Pixel 9 Pro Xl
The S25 Ultra’s 200MP primary camera offers insane detail and advanced zoom capabilities with 3x and 5x optical zoom, along with an ultrawide 50MP lens. Google’s Pixel 9 Pro XL features a 50MP main sensor, 48MP periscope with 5x zoom, and 48MP ultrawide, relying heavily on computational photography.
While Pixel cameras are known for superior software processing, Samsung’s hardware advantage (higher megapixel count, laser autofocus, and multi-directional PDAF) provides more flexibility for photography enthusiasts.
For selfies, the Pixel’s 42MP front camera outperforms Samsung’s 12MP sensor, making it a better choice for front-facing shots.
4. Pricing
The S25 Ultra is priced at $1,247, whereas the Pixel 9 Pro XL starts at $688. The Pixel offers flagship performance at a more affordable price, but the S25 Ultra justifies its higher cost with better hardware, premium materials, and longer update support.
If budget is a concern, Pixel 9 Pro XL is a great value, but for those wanting the best of the best, Samsung is the superior choice.
5. Conclusion
Pixel 9 Pro Xl
S25 Ultra features an S Pen, making it ideal for productivity and creativity.
Pixel 9 Pro XL introduces Satellite SOS, a potential lifesaver in emergencies.
Samsung offers 7 major Android updates, while Google promises the same but has a track record of faster rollouts.
Samsung’s display is more durable, while Pixel’s is brighter at 3000 nits peak.
Samsung’s chipset is more powerful, but Google’s AI processing is smarter.
If you prioritize hardware, display, and productivity, go for the S25 Ultra. If you want the best AI-driven camera experience and a more affordable price, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is a fantastic option.

The Galaxy S25 Plus and S25 Ultra support 45W fast charging, the same as the S24 and S23 series. But many users of the S25+ and S25 Ultra have reported unexpectedly slow charging speeds.
Notably, Samsung has switched to a different protocol for 45W charging. The phones come with a 3A cable and rely on a 15V input to achieve peak charging speed. However, users with a 5A cable have reported their phones drawing less than 15W on average—an issue that is reportedly software-related and expected to be fixed with an update. In the meantime, affected users can try using the included 3A cable as a workaround.

Most people are facing the issue with third party adapters and cables
While Samsung Italia didn’t reveal much beyond acknowledging the ‘anomaly on charging with the 5A cable’ and confirming they’re working on a fix, users on Reddit have shared more insights into the issue.
Reddit user Brangusler says he has tested his S25+ with multiple power adapters from Anker and “seen it go up to 25-28W maybe once or twice for a brief moment”. “I’m lucky to get a solid 15W and often it hangs out in the 5-10W range for seemingly no reason,” he added.
Samsung uses PD charging, a universal fast-charging standard, for its Galaxy devices. This means your phone should be compatible with a wide range of adapters and cables that support PD, regardless of the manufacturer. However, the current situation suggests otherwise. Ideally, your Galaxy flagship should draw power normally from your laptop charger or any third-party PD-supported charger, such as one from Anker. And this is true for older Galaxy phones such as the S10.
I haven’t seen any comments mentioning issues with the first-party power adapter—which, by the way, you’d have to buy separately, even if you already own five PD chargers. That also defeats the purpose of choosing PD in the first place. Hopefully, this is just a bug and not a deliberate move, and it gets fixed soon.
Samsung just dropped a new update for the Home Up Good Lock module, and it’s a pretty big deal for Galaxy S25 users that is running on Android 15-based One UI 7. The update (version 16.0.00.58) is live on the Galaxy Store, and it’s packed with fixes that make customizing your home screen way less of a headache. If you’ve been dealing with random crashes or weird widget issues, this one’s for you.

Here are the fixes
To begin with, the update tackles that super annoying bug where the “OneUI Home” app would crash every time you tried to edit your home screen using the DIY feature. Just imagine trying to customize your setup, and the app keeps crashing. Not cool, right? Thankfully, that’s been sorted out now. You can jump into editing mode without the app freaking out.

They have also fixed the widget transparency issue. When you deleted a widget in DIY mode, it would just hang there, all transparent and ghost-like. Not to mention, it made managing widgets a total mess. With this update, widgets now disappear as normal.
This update also fixes some other minor bugs. While the changelog doesn’t reveal much about the smaller fixes, the overall experience feels smoother. It’s one of those updates where you might not notice every single change, but things just work better.
If you’ve already upgraded to the Galaxy S25 series, experiencing the improvements is quite easy. Just head over to the Galaxy Store, hit the Menu option, and check for Updates. Or, if you’re already using the GoodLock app, you can get it from there. Either way, it’s a quick download that’s totally worth it if you’re into customizing your phone.
Xiaomi introduced the Buds 5 TWS earbuds in China in July 2024, followed by a global launch. Now, a new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that the company is working on the Buds 5 Pro series. The upcoming flagship earbuds are expected to bring several improvements, including new connectivity options and interactive controls.

According to the leak, the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro will feature an in-ear design with active noise cancellation. One of the biggest upgrades is the introduction of a Wi-Fi-enabled variant, which could enhance connectivity and audio streaming capabilities. Additionally, the earbuds are said to support pinch-based gesture controls, making interactions more intuitive.
Another highlight of the Buds 5 Pro is real-time translation, which could allow users to translate conversations on the go. Wireless charging support is also expected, making them more convenient for everyday use.
Apart from these improvements, the rest of the specifications and features could be identical to the existing Xiaomi Buds 5. While Xiaomi has yet to confirm any details about the Buds 5 Pro series, the new leak suggests that it could set a new benchmark in the premium TWS earbuds segment. As far as the launch is concerned, it may go official with the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Xiaomi SU7 car later this month in China.

The Xiaomi Buds 5, which launched globally after their China debut, comes with 11mm super-sensitive dual-magnet drivers tuned by Harman AudioEFX for rich, immersive sound quality. These semi-in-ear earbuds support Hi-Res Audio and Qualcomm aptX Lossless, ensuring a premium listening experience.
For noise reduction, the Buds 5 feature adaptive active noise cancellation (ANC) with multiple modes, including an AI-driven adaptive setting that adjusts based on environmental noise levels. The triple-microphone setup with AI noise reduction allows for crystal-clear calls even in windy conditions up to 12m/s.
Designed for all-day use, the Buds 5 offers up to 6.5 hours of playback per charge (ANC off) and up to 39 hours with the charging case. A quick 10-minute charge provides 2.5 hours of playback, making them ideal for users on the go. It also supports 73ms low-latency gaming mode on Xiaomi and Poco devices.
The Buds 5 is priced at 99 euros globally and comes in shades like black, white, and gray. On the other hand, it costs 699 Yuan in China and comes in options like white, gold, black, and blue.
Samsung has recently launched the Galaxy S25 Ultra in multiple markets, including China. In the coming days, a slew of “Ultra”-branded phones from other competing companies will also debut in China. Xiaomi is expected to unveil the Xiaomi 15 Ultra by the end of this month, whereas Oppo’s Find X8 Ultra may launch in March. A new leak by tipster Experience More has not only revealed the launch timeframe for the Vivo X200 Ultra and X200S. Additionally, it hints at a key detail about the Ultra’s primary camera.

The leak suggests that the Vivo X200 Ultra and Vivo X200S will likely be released in mid-to-late April in China. This timing places their launch exactly six months after the Vivo X200 and X200 Pro, which were introduced in October 2024.
Additionally, the post discusses the impact of Vivo and Nubia on the smartphone market. For those who don’t know, Nubia has been offering a 35mm camera on its flagship phones for the past few years. The Nubia Z50 Ultra, launched in 2023, features a customized 64-megapixel Sony IMX787 primary camera with a 35mm equivalent focal length.
While Nubia’s influence is relatively limited, Vivo, as a larger brand, has the potential to popularize certain camera innovations. Recent leaks suggest that the Vivo X200 Ultra will not feature a 1-inch primary camera like its predecessor. Instead, it may come with a smaller 1/1.28-inch 50-megapixel primary camera that supports 1.5x zoom (35mm equivalent) by default.
If Vivo successfully implements a 35mm main camera and a large sensor ultra-wide camera in its flagship devices and receives positive feedback, these features could eventually trickle down to the Pro models. This, in turn, might set a new industry trend and encourage other manufacturers to adopt similar camera solutions.
The Vivo X200 Ultra will be the first phone in the X200 lineup to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite, as the existing X200 and X200 Pro are powered by the Dimensity 9400 chip. The X200S, on the other hand, is expected to arrive with a newer Dimensity 9400 Plus chipset. Apart from the X200 Ultra and X200S, the April event is also likely to see a new purple edition of the Vivo X200 Pro Mini.

Galaxy S25 and Pixel 9 are two of the most anticipated flagship phones of 2025, offering distinct experiences. Samsung focuses on power, premium design, and versatility, while Google leans into AI-driven enhancements, affordability, and camera software.
With both phones promising 7 years of updates, choosing the right one comes down to performance, features, and value. This comparison breaks down their design, specifications, camera capabilities, pricing, and standout features to help you decide which smartphone suits your needs best. Whether you prioritize raw power or AI smarts, there’s a clear winner for every user.
The Galaxy S25 and Pixel 9 both feature a premium build with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and back, along with an aluminum frame, ensuring durability. They also share IP68 water and dust resistance. However, Samsung edges ahead with its Armor Aluminum 2 frame, making it more resilient.
The display is where the differences become clearer as Samsung’s 6.2-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel offers a 120Hz refresh rate and an incredible 2600 nits peak brightness, making it more visible in direct sunlight. In contrast, the 6.3-inch OLED panel on the Pixel 9 also supports 120Hz but peaks at 2700 nits, slightly surpassing Samsung in brightness. However, Samsung’s LTPO tech ensures better power efficiency when dynamically adjusting refresh rates.
Overall, the Galaxy S25’s display is more refined and more efficient, while the Pixel 9 focuses on peak brightness.
2. Specifications
The Galaxy S25 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm), while the Pixel 9 runs on the Google Tensor G4 (4nm). Qualcomm’s chipset is known for better efficiency and raw power, making the S25 more reliable for demanding tasks like gaming. The Pixel 9’s Google Tensor G4, while optimized for AI-based functions, still lags in GPU performance compared to the Adreno 830 in the Galaxy S25.
Battery-wise, the Pixel 9 has a 4700mAh battery versus the S25’s 4000mAh, giving it a slight advantage in longevity. It also supports 27W wired and 15W wireless charging, whereas Samsung has 25W wired and the same 15W wireless charging. However, Pixel’s bypass charging (limiting to 80%) enhances battery lifespan, which is a neat feature.
If you want raw power, the S25 is better, but for battery efficiency and longevity, the Pixel 9 takes the lead.
3. Camera
Pixel 9
Samsung’s triple-camera setup includes a 50MP wide, 10MP telephoto (3x zoom), and 12MP ultrawide lens. The Pixel 9, on the other hand, has a dual-camera system with a 50MP wide and a 48MP ultrawide sensor. While Samsung offers optical zoom for better portrait shots and distant photography, Google’s Pixel processing and Ultra-HDR ensure top-tier AI enhancements. The Pixel 9 is also better in low-light scenarios, thanks to its larger 1/1.31-inch sensor versus Samsung’s 1/1.56-inch sensor.
Video-wise, Samsung supports 8K recording, which is useful for high-detail content, whereas Pixel maxes out at 4K but offers superior stabilization with its gyro-EIS and OIS combo.
Samsung wins in versatility, but Google’s computational photography makes it the better choice for effortless point-and-shoot performance.
4. Pricing
The Galaxy S25 is priced at $799, while the Pixel 9 starts at $524, making Google’s phone significantly more affordable. At this price, the Pixel 9 offers excellent AI-powered features, a great camera, and a solid battery. However, the S25 justifies its higher price with a more powerful chipset, superior display technology, and telephoto zoom.
If you want the best value, the Pixel 9 is the clear winner, but if you prefer performance and an overall premium experience, the S25 is worth the extra cost.
5. Conclusion
Galaxy S25
Samsung has a stronger processor, better GPU, and a telephoto lens, while Pixel 9 stands out in AI processing, battery features, and affordability. The Pixel 9 also introduces Satellite SOS for emergency communications, a feature missing on the S25.
On the other hand, Samsung supports DeX mode, turning the phone into a desktop-like experience, something Google does not offer. Additionally, the S25 uses UFS 4.0 storage for faster read/write speeds, while the Pixel 9 is still on UFS 3.1.
If gaming and performance matter, Samsung wins, but if AI smarts and long-term battery health are a priority, the Pixel 9 is more future-proof.
