ChatGPT Can Now Replace Gemini as Your Default AI Assistant on Android

Team My Mobile

March 15, 2025

Highlights

Android users can now set ChatGPT as their default AI assistant via the latest beta update.
It will replace Google’s Gemini, though integration isn’t fully seamless yet.
Meanwhile, Gemini will replace Google Assistant on most Android devices later in 2025
Google’s updates to Gemini include improved features like lockscreen access and device controls.

Android users now have another option when choosing their default AI assistant. The latest beta update for the ChatGPT app allows it to be set as the primary assistant, replacing Google’s Gemini if desired. Here’s what we know.

ChatGPT as a Default AI Assistant on Android

If you’re happy with Gemini, you might not feel the need to change anything. But for those who prefer a different AI experience, Android lets you swap out the assistant activated by long-pressing the power button or swiping up from the corner of the screen.

Several AI assistants including Gemini and Perplexity already support this feature. Now, with the beta release of ChatGPT version 1.2025.070, OpenAI’s model joins the list. If you install the latest beta, you’ll find ChatGPT listed as an option in the default digital assistant settings.

How It Works?

As of now, ChatGPT’s integration isn’t as seamless as Gemini or even Perplexity. When you activate it using the power button shortcut, ChatGPT initially tries to open in full chat mode before switching to an overlay, a mode preferred for quick interactions.

This overlay is the same one introduced with the new Quick Settings shortcut earlier in 2025.

Google Assistant’s Exit in 2025

Google announced that “classic Google Assistant will no longer be accessible on most mobile devices.” (Image credit – 9to5Google)

Meanwhile, Google has announced that Gemini will fully replace Google Assistant on most Android phones later in 2025.

According to Google, the transition comes after various updates to Gemini, including Deep Research and other improvements. Users will receive an official date soon, but those still using Assistant will begin seeing upgrade prompts in the coming months.

There are a few exceptions such as devices running Android 9 or earlier with less than 2GB of RAM will retain the old Assistant experience.

This shift follows major Android brands like Pixel, Samsung, OnePlus, and Motorola making Gemini their default assistant in recent phone launches. Google states that “millions of people have already made the switch.”

When Gemini first launched in February 2024, it lacked many core Assistant features. Since then, Google has been working to close the gap by adding lockscreen access and device control utilities.

Beyond phones, Google confirmed that Gemini will also roll out to smartwatches, cars, tablets, and headphones. We’ve already seen Gemini take over Google Assistant on Pixel Buds, and signs suggest it’s coming to Wear OS watches soon.

Additionally, Google is developing a new Gemini-powered experience for smart speakers, displays, and TVs. Testing is already underway on the Nest Mini and Nest Audio, while a TV integration was previewed earlier this year. More details are expected in the coming months.

FAQs

Q1. Can ChatGPT replace Google’s Gemini as the default AI assistant on Android?

Answer. Yes, with the latest beta update (version 1.2025.070), ChatGPT can be set as the default AI assistant on Android, replacing Gemini.

Q2. When will Google Assistant be replaced by Gemini on Android devices?

Answer. Google has announced that Gemini will fully replace Google Assistant on most Android devices later in 2025, with upgrade prompts starting soon.

Q3. What devices will Gemini be available on besides smartphones?

Answer. Gemini will expand to smartwatches, TVs, smart speakers, tablets, cars, headphones, and more, with testing already underway on Nest devices and Wear OS watches.

Sony Unveils Next-Gen Display With Advanced RGB LED Technology

Team My Mobile

March 15, 2025

Highlights

Sony’s next-gen display system features independently RGB LEDs and advanced backlight technology.
The display achieves 99% DCI-P3 and ~90% ITU-R BT.2020 color space coverage, supports peak brightness of 4000 cd/m² and improves upon OLED’s limitations with wide dynamic range.
The tech is expected to launch in 2025 and will be integrated into TVs and professional displays.

Sony’s new independent RGB LED system introduced officially. (Image credit – Sony)

Sony has introduced a next-generation display system featuring independently driven RGB LEDs with a high-density backlight. This setup allows the red, green and blue lights to function separately, enhancing color purity and expanding the colour range for more vibrant images, especially on large screens.

Sony’s proprietary advanced backlight control technology ensures accurate colour reproduction and smooth light gradations across the display. This is particularly important for cinematic content where subtle colours, deep blacks and precise lighting play a key role in storytelling.

Sony emphasised that this system is designed to reflect creators’ original vision, making it ideal for both professional film production and home entertainment. The company has long supported creators through its professional monitors used for colour grading and BRAVIA TVs as reference displays, and this new development builds on that expertise.

Sony said, “[They] will continue to expand the possibilities of visual expression through cutting-edge technology, building the future of entertainment together with creators.”

Sony’s New Display System – Key Features

Wide Colour Gamut Performance

The display covers over 99% of the DCI-P3 color space and about 90% of the ITU-R BT.2020 standard with the independent RGB LED design. This results in highly accurate and vivid colors.

Advanced Backlight Control for High Picture Quality

Sony’s backlight technology works with the RGB LED system to optimise color reproduction across large screens. A dynamic power allocation function adjusts the brightness of each RGB channel based on the scene, maintaining a balance between luminance and gradation.

Unlike conventional TVs that tend to over-brighten elements like stars or the moon in dark scenes, Sony’s approach ensures that single-color scenes like deep blue skies or rich autumn foliage are displayed with stunning detail. The system also achieves peak brightness above 4000 cd/m², setting a new benchmark for Sony displays.

Wide Dynamic Range and Smooth Gradation

Processing at 96 bits with high speed and precision, the system delivers deep blacks, bright whites, and seamless mid-tones. It also improves on OLED’s limitations by rendering moderately bright, saturated colors more accurately. Additionally, the display maintains wide viewing angles with minimal color shift or brightness loss.

Accurate Colour Reproduction

A dedicated control processor ensures that densely packed RGB LEDs function efficiently, preventing white clipping in bright areas and black crushing in dark ones. With twice the processing power of traditional local dimming technology, the system captures subtle color variations more accurately than ever before.

Sony’s Industry Collaborations and New Display Tech’s Availability

To bring this display to market, Sony is collaborating with key partners including MediaTek Inc. known for its Pentonic SoCs in smart TVs on control processors, ROHM Co., Ltd. on LED drive ICs and Sanan Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. on LED development.

As for the mass production of the new display system, it is expected to begin in 2025 with Sony planning to integrate it into both consumer televisions and professional content creation displays.

FAQs

Q1. What is the key feature of Sony’s next-gen display technology?

Answer. Sony’s next-gen display uses independently driven RGB LEDs with advanced backlight technology, enhancing color purity, dynamic range, and smooth light gradations.

Q2. What color space coverage does the new Sony display achieve?

Answer. The display covers over 99% of the DCI-P3 color space and about 90% of the ITU-R BT.2020 standard, ensuring highly accurate and vivid colors.

Q3. When will Sony’s new display system be available?

Answer. Mass production is expected to begin in 2025, and the system will be integrated into both consumer televisions and professional content creation displays.

The phone sports a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and Corning Gorilla Glass protection. Under the hood, it runs on MediaTek’s Helio G99 Ultra processor, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

However, the Helio G99 is a 4G-only chipset, so there’s no 5G support here. Interestingly, Xiaomi hasn’t specified which version of its HyperOS software the phone comes with.

For cameras, the Redmi Note 14S features a 200MP main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro camera. On the front, there’s a 16MP selfie shooter.

A 5,000mAh battery powers the device, supporting 67W fast charging. The phone also comes with an optical under-display fingerprint scanner. One small but useful upgrade is improved water and dust resistance, now rated at IP64 instead of last year’s IP54.

Overall, though, this is essentially the same phone as the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G.

Apple’s next iOS 19 update is just a few months away and it appears Apple is working on a live translation feature for AirPods. According to a recent Bloomberg report, this new capability will allow AirPods to translate real-time conversations between different languages, making communication easier for users.

Here’s everything we know about the feature so far.

Live Translation Coming to AirPods with iOS 19

Bloomberg’s trusted Apple reporter Mark Gurman, citing sources familiar with the matter, recently reported that AirPods will be able to translate a live “in-person conversation” from one language to another. This feature will roll out later this year as part of the iOS 19 update and will work with current AirPods models.

For example, if an English-speaking user is listening to someone speaking in another language, the AirPods’ microphones will pick up the speech, and the iPhone will automatically translate it.

The iPhone will also translate English speech into the other language in real time, enabling smooth back-and-forth communication.

It’s still unclear whether this feature will be limited to the latest AirPods Pro or if older models will also support it. Last year, Apple introduced new hearing health features for the second-generation AirPods Pro with iOS 18, so there’s a possibility the translation feature could be exclusive to newer models.

Other wearables such as Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Samsung’s Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro already support similar features.

Apple’s Plans for iOS 19 and AirPods

Bloomberg also reported that iOS 19 will bring a major design update, aiming to make the interface more consistent across iOS, macOS, and visionOS. Apple also plans to “simplify the way users navigate and control their devices.”

Moreover, Apple has been exploring the idea of integrating cameras into future AirPods. These cameras could enable AI-powered features like Visual Intelligence, potentially allowing users to access smart features without taking their iPhone out of their pocket.

However, this technology is still in the early stages of development.

As of now, live translation in AirPods looks set to be one of the standout features of iOS 19, which will make Apple’s wireless earbuds even more useful for travelers and multilingual conversations.

FAQs

Q2. Will all AirPods models support the live translation feature?

Answer. It is unclear whether older AirPods models will support the feature. Like previous updates, it is possible that the live translation feature could be exclusive to newer models, such as the second-generation AirPods Pro.

Q3. What other features and updates are coming with iOS 19?

Answer. In addition to live translation, iOS 19 will introduce a major design overhaul for consistency across iOS, macOS, and visionOS. Apple is also exploring potential future AirPods features, such as integrated cameras for AI-powered capabilities.
