Google has announced that it is beginning to roll out access to the Gemini 2.5 Pro model and Deep Search in AI Mode and has also announced a new agentic feature dubbed ‘AI-powered calling to local businesses.’ Here’s how the two new features work to enhance your search experience with Google.
With Gemini 2.5 Pro model and Deep Search in AI Mode, Google is giving users access to its most intelligent AI model, right in Search. Gemini 2.5 Pro excels at advanced reasoning, math and coding questions, helping you with your complex queries with links to learn more. Subscribers can select the 2.5 Pro model from a drop-down menu in the AI Mode tab. Further, the default model in AI Mode will continue to be helpful for fast, all-around assistance on most questions.
For questions requiring an even more detailed response, Google is bringing deep research capabilities into AI Mode through Deep Search with the Gemini 2.5 Pro model. Deep Search is the company’s most advanced research tool in Google Search, helping you save hours by issuing hundreds of searches, reasoning across disparate pieces of information and crafting a comprehensive, fully-cited report in minutes.
“Deep Search is especially useful for in-depth research related to your job, hobbies, or studies. It’s also a valuable tool when making big life decisions, like purchasing a new house or needing assistance with financial analysis,” said Google.
For Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S., Deep Search and Gemini 2.5 Pro are starting to roll out this week for those opted into the AI Mode experiment in Labs.
Next, the company is bringing a new agentic capability directly into Search: AI-powered calling to local businesses. Through this feature, Search can now call businesses to get pricing and availability information on your behalf — without you needing to pick up the phone.
To get started, search for something like “pet groomers near me” and you’ll see a new option in the results to “Have AI check pricing.” From there, you can submit your request and Search will do the rest, consolidating information about appointments and services from different businesses to present you with a range of options – saving you time and creating new opportunities for businesses to easily book customers. This capability is now starting to roll out to all Search users in the U.S., with higher limits for Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra render has been leaked online by a known tipster. The render suggests that the Tab S11 Ultra might bring a notable change on the front where the selfie camera is positioned. The Galaxy S25 FE render was also leaked in White.
The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra render comes from reputable tipster Evan Blass on X. It shows the Tab S11 Ultra in a grey shade with a white S-Pen and a dual rear camera setup on the back. The Antenna bands and buttons appear to be positioned identically as previous years’ models.
However, the two major changes we see in the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra render includes the front notch that was bigger in past models has now been replaced by a smaller water-drop notch. Aside from that, the strip on the back of the tablet where the S-Pen used to sit and charge is now also gone.
Now, there are two possibilities due to which that strip has been removed. Either Samsung completely removed the Bluetooth functionality from the S-Pen which means it doesn’t require a charge anymore and can be attached to the sides of the tablet. Or, the company may have change the position of the charging strip to the top of the tablet. Either way, we’ll know more once Samsung officially announces the tablet, likely by September-end this year.
As for the Galaxy S25 FE render in white, we can see the slimmer (but uneven) bezels on the front of the device. There’s a triple rear camera setup and a punch-hole on the front for the camera. The device’s high-quality renders were already leaked last month. The device is expected to be powered by the Exynos 2400 chipset and run on One UI 8.0 based on Android 16 out of the box.

Pixel Watch 4
Fresh leaks suggest that the Google Pixel Watch 4 will also debut at the Pixel 10 series launch event, and will /come in two sizes—41mm and 45mm—offering users more choice than before. The 45mm variant, reportedly codenamed “kenari” (model FK23), and the 41mm version, dubbed “meridian” (model FME23), will both feature slightly larger batteries, which could explain the watch’s bulkier design.
Under the hood, however, not much has changed. The Pixel Watch 4 is expected to retain the same Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip used in the Pixel Watch 2 and 3—a Processor that’s not exactly known for stellar power efficiency. The 41mm model is said to pack a 327mAh battery, up from 307mAh in its predecessor, while the 45mm version will house a 459mAh unit, a modest 9% increase.
While exact figures aren’t known yet, charging speeds are reportedly getting a boost as well.
The Pixel Watch 4 will also be offered in both Bluetooth and 4G LTE variants, and Google is expected to roll out several colour and strap options. These will include everything from sporty Active bands to two-tone leather and metal mesh bands, giving users more ways to personalize their watch.
Google Pixel Buds 2A
The Pixel Buds 2A will also be debuting at the Pixel 10 series lanch event, and are likely to arrive in four colours: Hazel (green), Strawberry (red), Iris (purple), and Fog Light (light blue). Apart from this, not much is known about the new TWS earbuds from Google at the moment.
A new set of Lava Agni 4 details have emerged online, suggesting that the device will come with a few upgrades over its predecessor but may have a downgraded set of cameras. The device’s design will also be completely revamped, and will drop the secondary display on the back of the device which was there in Agni 3.
Lava Agni 4 Details: Design, Pricing (Expected)
A new render shared by tipster Yogesh Brar with 91mobiles reveals the possible design of the upcoming Lava Agni 4. The phone appears to feature a horizontal dual rear camera setup housed in a pill-shaped module, with an LED flash placed between the lenses—marking a downgrade from the Agni 3’s triple camera array.
The render also hints at a metal frame and flat edges, moving away from the curved design of its predecessor. Notably, the Agni 4 may also drop the secondary mini AMOLED Display seen on the Agni 3. The device is shown in a White finish in the shared render, with the power and volume buttons likely positioned on the right side.
The device is expected to carry a price tag of around Rs 25,000. The report notes that this pricing was mentioned based on the Chipset in use and Lava’s pricing strategy with the Agni 3.
Lava Agni 4: Expected Specifications
The phone is expected to sport a 6.78-inch full-HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. A MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chip is said to be present under the hood, paired with UFS 4.0 storage. The phone will likely also feature two 50-megapixel cameras. Furthermore, the handset is said to pack a 7,000mAh+ battery. It will compete with Vivo’s and iQOO’s devices in the segment, if the stated pricing is correct.

Vivo V60 5G India launch date has been leaked online, suggesting the device will debut in the country by mid-August. Furthermore, the device has already visited multiple certification websites which has also confirmed some of its key features. Here are all the details to know.
Vivo V60 5G India Launch Date
As tipped by Abhishek Yadav on X, the Vivo V60 5G may debut in India on August 16. His source also tells him that OriginOS based on Android 16 will debut in India alongside the launch. OriginOS is the software that runs on Vivo phones in China while FunTouch OS is what’s available in India.
Compared to FunTouchOS, OriginOS is known to be more polished and feature-rich. However, this is purely a speculation that OriginOS will come to India in August, so take it with a pinch of salt until an official announcement is made by the brand. It is also possible that the brand may introduce a revamped OriginOS-inspired UI in its FunTouchOS and call it FunTouch OS 16.

The Vivo V50 launched in India in February this year as a rebranded version of the Vivo S20. If that strategy is to be followed, it could be possible that the Vivo V60 5G will debut as a rebranded Vivo S30 which came to China in May this year. Notably, the Vivo S30 packs a 6500mAh battery with 90W fast charging.
