androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-14 01:26:50

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is rolling out a UI update for the Gemini app on Android tablets that shrinks the size of the overlay. The new overlay is about one-third the width of the screen instead of two-thirds and is anchored to the right side. This updated interface only applies to the standard Gemini experience and seems to be part of a slow server-side rollout. There are a lot of AI chatbots you can talk to these days, but I personally use Google Gemini on all my dev

But in a chaotic turn, Elon Musk just suggested that even the company’s real equity might be an illusion. The maker of ChatGPT, in a rare public warning posted on X (formerly Twitter), disavowed any involvement with crypto-like financial products claiming to offer a piece of its business. “These ‘OpenAI tokens’ are not OpenAI equity,” the company wrote. “We did

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority Sorry, Samsung, but I’ve always been a Pixel fan. Although I’ve appreciated a Galaxy device here and there and had a soft spot for Samsung’s hardware ever since I brought home the Galaxy S10 at the end of college, I’ve always been happiest with a Google device in my pocket. For a while, I wasn’t quite sure why I felt so strongly about preferring Google’s experience over Samsung’s, but after a few recent updates, I’ve come around to a simple fact: Google’s Pix
