Google has announced a new Image-to-Video generation capability in Gemini that can turn your images into dynamic 8-second videos along with sound. “From reimagining fairy tales through the eyes of a modern influencer, to ASMR videos exploring what it would sound like to cut through a piece of cooling lava, your imagination is the limit when you create videos with Gemini,” said Google.

With the Image-to-Video Generation capability in Gemini, you can describe a scene, upload the photo in Gemini, the model will use Google’s Veo 3 video generation model to turn that image into a video. To turn your photos into videos, select ‘Videos’ from the tool menu in the prompt box and upload a photo. Then, describe the scene and any audio instructions, and watch as your still image transforms into a dynamic video.

YouTube Trending Page To Be Replaced By YouTube Charts & Recommendations

0

The YouTube Trending Page that was launched back in 2015 is now being replaced by YouTube Charts & Recommendations sections. YouTube says that back in 2015, it was a “lot simpler to capture with a singular list of viral videos that everyone was talking about.”However, today’s “trends consist of many videos created by many fandoms, and there are more micro-trends enjoyed by diverse communities than ever before.”

As a result, the YouTube Trending page will soon go away, according to YouTube’s announcement through a Support page. “Viewers increasingly learn about trends in different places across YouTube – from recommendations and search suggestions to Shorts, comments and Communities. With these shifts, we’ve seen visits to the Trending page decrease significantly, especially over the last five years,” said the platform.

Now, YouTube is shifting away from one all-encompassing Trending list towards category-specific charts. In the new YouTube Charts section, one can find the most popular content in specific categories. “Today you can explore charts for Trending Music Videos, Weekly Top Podcast Shows, and Trending Movie Trailers.” The platform will continue to add more content categories to charts over time. It added the Gaming Explore page will still be your go-to for the Trending gaming videos even though Charts are being added.

Along with highlighting popular content in charts, YouTube will keep showing viewers the videos that it thinks they’ll love through personalised recommendations. This way, it can show a wider range of popular content that’s relevant, and it feels more natural to how viewers already find new videos. “Viewers can still browse content that isn’t personalised in the Explore menu, on creator channels, and in their subscriptions feed.”

Further, the “Inspiration” tab in YouTube Studio will keep giving creators personalised ideas to help them “spot the next big thing for their channel.” The platform is also creating new ways to give up-and-coming creators a boost and help them get discovered, like the “Hype” feature that lets viewers amplify fresh videos they love.

Confirmed: Samsung Eyes Late 2025 Launch for Tri-Folding Smartphone

0

Samsung Electronics just launched its latest generation of foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and is now gearing up to launch its first tri-folding smartphone later this year, confirming long-standing speculation about the company’s next leap in foldable form factors. Minseok Kang, Vice President of Product Planning at Samsung, has officially stated that the device is on track to debut by the end of 2025.

“We are working hard on a tri-fold smartphone with the goal of launching it at the end of this year,” Kang said. The comment puts an end to weeks of uncertainty that followed the company’s July Unpacked event, where many had anticipated a glimpse of the tri-fold alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7. Instead, the event remained focused on iterative foldable upgrades, with no mention of the more ambitious tri-fold device—prompting speculation that the project was still in its infancy.

Bigger Canvas, Familiar DNA

According to multiple leaks, the tri-fold is expected to feature a 10-inch display when fully unfolded—larger than any current Samsung foldable. The design reportedly builds on the Z Fold series’ DNA, but adds an extra folding panel to enable three distinct usage modes: compact smartphone, single-fold tablet, and a fully expanded widescreen experience. This makes it a potentially compelling device for users who juggle work, entertainment and multitasking on the go.

The device is also tipped to feature a titanium frame for durability and will likely run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 “Elite” chipset—the same found in the Galaxy Z Fold 7. This puts the tri-fold in flagship territory both in terms of performance and build.

Not for Everyone—At Least Initially

Price is expected to be a barrier to entry. With expected price around the $3,000 mark, the tri-fold will likely be positioned as a premium device aimed at early adopters, productivity-focused users and tech enthusiasts rather than the mass market. For context, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 starts at $1,999.

Samsung has not yet confirmed the regions where the tri-fold will launch, but details are expected to emerge as the device nears final production. Early indications suggest limited availability, possibly in line with how earlier foldables were rolled out in select markets before wider adoption.

A Likely Spotlight in Q4

The absence of the tri-fold at Samsung’s mid-year Unpacked doesn’t rule out another event. The company has historically held two major product launches annually, but insiders suggest that a third, more focused event could take place in Q4 2025 to formally unveil the tri-fold.

If launched as planned, the tri-fold could represent Samsung’s most ambitious effort yet to define the future of mobile hardware. Having said that execution will be key. The form factor will have to prove itself in terms of real-world utility, durability and software optimization some of the areas where foldables have faced challenges in the past.

Market Dynamics Shift

Samsung will also face competition from rivals. Chinese manufacturers such as Huawei already have a tri-folding phone called Mate XT Ultimate, while Xiaomi, and Honor are actively developing tri-fold and rollable concepts but Samsung’s early lead in the foldables category globally could be an advantage.

At present, Samsung remains the dominant force in foldable space, with years of experience in hinge technology, display engineering and supply chain integration. If the tri-fold delivers as promised, it could not only maintain Samsung’s lead—but set a new benchmark for what a foldable smartphone can be.

For now, the industry—and the public—will be watching closely.
