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

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.

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 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

image

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

Q1. What is the live translation feature coming to AirPods?

Answer. The live translation feature, introduced with iOS 19, enables AirPods to translate real-time conversations between different languages. The AirPods’ microphones will capture the speech, and the iPhone will automatically translate it, facilitating smooth back-and-forth communication.

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.

Highlights

  • Apple plans to integrate end-to-end encryption into RCS messaging on iPhones.
  • It enhances security for cross-platform communication between Android and iPhone users.
  • Apple alongside the GSM Association played a significant role in developing the RCS Universal Profile 3.0, which now includes encryption.

Apple has announced that it will add support for end-to-end encryption in RCS messaging on iPhones. This move, in collaboration with the GSM Association, brings RCS closer to iMessage in terms of security.

The latest RCS Universal Profile 3.0, which includes end-to-end encryption, was just released today. However, Apple hasn’t confirmed exactly when it will roll out this update to users. The company played a key role in leading a cross-industry effort to bring this security feature to the RCS Universal Profile.

Apple first introduced RCS support to iPhones with iOS 18.1 last fall. RCS improves messaging between iPhone and Android users by replacing traditional SMS with a more modern standard. It includes features like typing indicators, emoji reactions, read receipts, and support for higher-resolution photos and videos.

Until now, the RCS Universal Profile didn’t support end-to-end encryption, meaning messages sent through it weren’t as secure as those on iMessage. But with this new update, Apple has committed to integrating encryption into its ecosystem.

In a statement to 9to5Mac, Apple said, “End-to-end encryption is a powerful privacy and security technology that iMessage has supported since the beginning, and now we are pleased to have helped lead a cross industry effort to bring end-to-end encryption to the RCS Universal Profile published by the GSMA. We will add support for end-to-end encrypted RCS messages to iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS in future software updates.”

Meanwhile, reiterating commitment to secure messaging experience, Google said, “We’ve always been committed to providing a secure messaging experience, and Google Messages users have had end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) RCS messaging for years. We’re excited to have this updated specification from GSMA and work as quickly as possible with the mobile ecosystem to implement and extend this important user protection to cross-platform RCS messaging.”

Apple’s commitment to this update is a big step in improving the security of cross-platform messaging.

For those unfamiliar, end-to-end encryption ensures that only the sender and recipient can read messages. The decryption keys stay on users’ devices preventing any intermediaries from accessing the conversations. iMessage has had this level of security since its launch and now RCS messages will soon get the same protection.

FAQs

Q1. What is end-to-end encryption and how does it enhance messaging security?

Answer. End-to-end encryption ensures that only the sender and recipient can read messages. The decryption keys stay on users’ devices, preventing any intermediaries from accessing the conversations.

Q2. What role has Apple played in improving the security of RCS messaging?

Answer. Apple played a key role in leading a cross-industry effort to bring end-to-end encryption to the RCS Universal Profile. The company collaborated with the GSM Association to include encryption in the newly released RCS Universal Profile 3.0.

Q3. What features does RCS provide compared to traditional SMS?

Answer. RCS improves messaging by including features like typing indicators, emoji reactions, read receipts, and support for higher-resolution photos and videos. It replaces traditional SMS with a more modern and secure standard.

Apple is reportedly making the iPhone 17 Air its thinnest iPhone ever, though this might come at the cost of downgraded specifications. Earlier this year, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo surprised many by predicting that the iPhone 17 Air could be even thinner than expected. Now, another leaker has backed up his claim.

According to Kuo, the iPhone 17 Air will be around 5.5mm at its thinnest part. Leaker Ice Universe supports this claim and adds that the camera bar will be 4mm thick, making the phone 9.5mm at its thickest point. In imperial measurements, that translates to approximately 0.22 inches for the body and 0.37 inches at its thickest part.

The camera design is also changing, rather than a traditional bump, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a camera bar spanning almost the full width of the phone, even though it will house only a single camera.

With this design, the iPhone 17 Air will be significantly thinner than previous estimates, which suggested a thickness of around 6.25mm.

iPhone 17 Pro Models Will Get Better Cooling, Not the Air

Apple was previously rumoured to be upgrading the entire iPhone 17 lineup with vapor chamber cooling, something Android phones have had for years. But now, a new report by tipster Setsina Digital on Weibo suggests only the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will get it.

Vapor chambers help dissipate heat more efficiently, reducing performance throttling. The A19 Pro chip, expected in the Pro models, will also have better thermal management, meaning sustained performance should be much smoother.

So, while the iPhone 17 Air might be Apple’s slimmest iPhone ever, it looks like Apple is keeping the best performance and cooling tech for the Pro models.

Apple was expected to launch a new Home product, often referred to as ‘HomePad,’ this month. However, delays have pushed its release back, initially due to challenges in developing new Siri capabilities.

Now, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, another major reason for the delay is ensuring the device’s interface aligns with iOS 19’s redesign. Here’s what we know.

Software Issues Holding Back Apple HomePad

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Kuo explained, “Three months ago, I predicted that mass production of the new display-equipped HomePod would slip from 1Q25 to 3Q25 (after WWDC) due to software development issues. Beyond Apple Intelligence, the issues also involve ensuring the HomePod’s interface aligns with new OS updates (like iOS 19) set to roll out across other devices in 2H25. This alignment is essential for seamlessly integrating new products into Apple’s ecosystem.”

Back in December, Kuo had already warned that software challenges could delay Apple’s display-equipped HomePod until Q3 2025. At that time, Mark Gurman still expected a March launch, though later reports suggested a spring release was uncertain.

Initially, many believed the delay was entirely due to Apple Intelligence, the AI-powered Siri upgrade originally planned for iOS 18.4. However, Apple has now pushed that update further into 2025.

Now, Kuo suggests that while AI-powered Siri is a factor, iOS 19’s major redesign is also playing a big role in the HomePad’s delay. Apple wants to ensure the new device fits seamlessly into its evolving software ecosystem before launching it.

9to5Mac’s Ryan Christoffel, in their report, highlights, “Kuo’s explanation doesn’t necessarily justify delaying a major product. Siri’s development challenges are one thing, but if the new homeOS that HomePad will run offers a sneak peek of what’s coming with iOS 19, I don’t see how that’s a bad thing at all.”

“Unless, perhaps, Apple expects iOS 19’s design to be in flux over the beta season this summer. In that case, maybe it wants to save itself the trouble of redesigning homeOS elements after the fact by just shipping the new OS once its design plans are more stable,” Christoffel further added.

FAQs

Q1. Why has the release of Apple’s new Home product, “HomePad,” been delayed?

Answer. Initially, the delay was due to challenges in developing new Siri capabilities. Additionally, ensuring the device’s interface aligns with the iOS 19 redesign has also contributed to the delay.

Q2. What does analyst Ming-Chi Kuo say about the HomePad’s production timeline?

Answer. Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the mass production of the display-equipped HomePod has been delayed from Q1 2025 to Q3 2025 (after WWDC) due to software development issues and the need to align with new OS updates like iOS 19.

Q3. What is the role of iOS 19 in the HomePad’s delay?

Answer. The redesign of iOS 19 is a significant factor in the HomePad’s delay, as Apple wants to ensure that the new device fits seamlessly into its evolving software ecosystem before launching it.
