Pixel 11 users can now delegate routine calls — like checking store inventory, booking appointments, or changing reservations — directly to Gemini.
You can monitor the entire conversation via a live transcript on your screen and take over the call at any moment.
The preview begins September 24 for Gemini paid subscribers in the Phone by Google Public Beta.
Google today introduced a new task for Gemini on the Pixel 11: helping you dodge those pesky calls you keep putting off. The company is testing a feature that allows Gemini to contact businesses for routine tasks such as checking inventory, booking appointments, and changing reservations.
The idea builds on Google’s existing Hold for Me and Direct My Call features, which already take care of parts of the experience of a phone call. This time, Gemini goes one step further. You tell it what you need, and it will call the business, identify itself, go through automated menus, wait on hold, and speak with the person who answers, all through the Gemini app.
Google’s updated terms say these agentic calls are placed from your own phone number and use an AI-generated voice. That makes the feature less like a glorified voicemail assistant and more like an AI impersonating you.
You aren't handing over the phone altogether, though. The experience will include a live transcript so you can follow the conversation as it happens, Google says. If Gemini starts to go off the rails, you can take over the call at any point.

Google says it’s limiting the initial rollout as it works through the nuances of real-world conversations. There’s a good practical reason for Google’s decision to limit the initial rollout. These are conversations that are real. Gemini's calls are from real customers trying to book appointments, hold items, or change the date of services, meaning that businesses and the people who work for them have to deal with the AI on the other end.
The preview starts on September 24 for Gemini paid subscribers enrolled in the Phone by Google Public Beta, which is limited to Pixel 11 phones in the U.S.
Have you ever taken a photo on your phone, only to look back later and wonder where all the life went? I've seen people ask why their newer smartphone photos look dull and sterile compared to their older phone, and the answer mainly lies in how phones process photos these days.
Google seems to have heard everyone's cries and implemented a new feature on the Pixel 11 series called Camera Looks. These looks are more than a plain filter; they change how color science works and how shadows are calculated when you take a photo, leading to a result you'll hopefully like better.
What are Camera Looks?

To understand what Camera Looks does to your photos, you first have to understand how modern smartphone photography works. Unlike a "normal" camera, modern smartphones don't just take one picture when you tap the shutter button. Instead, your Pixel phone constantly takes pictures while the camera viewfinder is open; it just doesn't store them until you tap the shutter button.
The moment you press the shutter button, your Pixel saves roughly five photos taken before you press it, plus another five taken during and slightly after. Each photo is taken at different exposure values — meaning some photos are darker while others are brighter — to ensure the camera captures the widest range of light in an image. All this happens in less than a split second.
Your Pixel then takes those photos and combines them into a single picture at the pixel level. If you've ever taken a photo and then immediately tapped the thumbnail to see your shot, you've probably seen the picture "pop" into place and look a lot better after a second or two. This is the result of what Google calls HDR+.
(Image credit: Nicholas Sutrich / Android Central)
While brightening the shadows and reducing the brightest parts of the photos might be technically excellent, it doesn't look "correct" to our eyes. After years of developing HDR+ into the industry's most technically advanced photo-processing software, Google is letting users pull back on the proverbial reins if they want to.
Google calls this extra control "Camera Looks," and it gives users a quick, easy way to make the Pixel camera look and work the way they want. You can reduce or enhance any specific processing parameters, including sharpening, shadows, vibrance, tinting, and more.
Camera Looks aren't "filters." Each look changes how the photo is processed when taken and delivers a different end look. A filter is something applied to a photo after it's taken, while Camera Looks changes the entire processing pipeline.
How to use Camera Looks on a Pixel 11
Camera Looks is supported on all Pixel 11 series phones, including the base Pixel 11, the Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Google hasn't ported this feature to older Pixel phones yet, as Camera Looks currently runs at the hardware level on the Tensor G6's ISP.
Camera Looks is a simple feature on the surface, but it also lets power users dive into more granular settings. Here's how to apply basic Camera Looks to your photos:
1. Open the camera app. You can also double-press the power button to quickly launch the camera.
2. Tap the Settings Sliders button on the bottom right of the viewfinder.
3. Tap on the Looks button on the bottom left of the viewfinder.
4. The viewfinder will now transform into a series of cards. At the top, tap the dropdown next to "default look" and select your desired base processing style.
5. You can also swipe through the Camera Looks cards to choose from 7 different preset options.

Setting your look as the default
By default, you'll need to tap the Camera Looks button every time you reopen the camera. Google does this to make "normal" photo-taking easy, but you can also set your preferred camera look as the default when you open the camera. To do that, follow these steps:
1. Open the camera app.
2. Tap the photo settings icon on the bottom left. It looks like a gear.
3. Tap the More button on the top right of the pop-up. It looks like three dots.
4. Scroll down and enable Always use selected look.

Now, when you open your Pixel's camera, the Camera Look you previously configured will always be enabled. To disable it, just tap the Camera Look button on the bottom right, then swipe through the cards to select another look.
Getting the most out of Camera Looks

While the carousel of cards is a quick way to get some nice presets, Camera Looks lets you dial in eight different properties of the Pixel's photography engine and adjust them in granular detail. When you open Camera Looks, you'll see a row of buttons along the bottom for individual settings. Here's what each one does:
Contrast (-10 to +10): The difference between the image's brightest and darkest parts. Increase this number to create starker darks and lights, and lower it to make the image gentler.
Highlights (-10 to +10): This refers to the brightest parts of a photo, usually something like sunlight coming through a window, a reflection in glass, etc. Increase this number to brighten highlights, and decrease it to reduce them.
Shadows (-10 to +10): This setting affects the darkest parts of a photo. Increasing this number brightens all the dark parts in an image. Decreasing this number will make the darker parts even darker, resulting in higher-contrast scenes.
Vibrance (-10 to +10): This setting affects color intensity. Higher vibrance settings make colors "pop" but can look unrealistic or cartoony at too-high settings. Lower settings make colors look duller.
Tint (-10 to +10): Adjusts how green or magenta an image is. Higher numbers skew the image toward a more magenta tone, while lower numbers make the image look greener.
Warmth (-10 to +10): Adjusts how blue or yellow an image is. Higher numbers skew the image toward yellow, or warmer colors, while lower numbers skew the image toward blue, or cooler tones.
Sharpness (0 to 15): This refers to how much artificial sharpening is added to a photo. Digital photography often uses sharpening to make photos look "high resolution" by enhancing fine detail, but an image that's too sharp looks noticeably fake and often "harsh."
Grain (None/Weak/Moderate/Strong): Adds an artificial grain look to photos. This differs from digital noise, a by-product of how digital photo sensors work. The grain setting does not enhance fine detail. It only adds a grain filter.

Feel free to play with each of these settings to find the look you want. If you don't like the look of stock Pixel photos, I suggest adjusting three settings right away: shadows, vibrance, and sharpness.
Try dropping the shadows a notch or two and see if you like the look. I think the preset "Shadows" Look (found in the drop-down menu at the top of the viewfinder when Camera Looks is enabled) already does a good job of adjusting this setting.
When you're done with that, try giving vibrance a little punch-up. Start with +2 and adjust from there. That, combined with shadow darkening, should give your Pixel photos a nice pop. Lastly, try reducing sharpness just a bit by bringing it down to 8 (the default is 10). This will reduce sharpening, making the photo look more like film and less digital.
So when Sivga said it's coming out with flat-head buds, I was obviously interested. The M260 have a bland naming convention (in a sense, that fits its retro positioning), but that's thankfully the only negative thing I have to say about these buds. They cost $39 on Amazon and come with a standard 3.5mm connector, and you can also get a USB-C version (like I did) when you buy at Sivga's website (these are $40 as well).
Let's start with the design. The M260 may be aimed at the budget category, but they're made out of machined aluminum, and the build quality is exquisite. The silver finish looks great in its own right, and the gold accents add a bit of flair.
There are a decent number of these earbuds around now, but they're mostly made out of plastic, and the attention to detail that Sivga lavished on the M260 makes the earbuds stand out quite a bit. This isn't anything new; I tested Sivga's Luan headset two years ago, and it has a delightful design and a high degree of comfort. It's so good that my wife immediately stole it to use with her gaming machine.
Anyway, the flat-head design of the M260 means they're extremely comfortable to wear, and if you've used IEMs in the past and didn't quite get a good fit, you should consider giving these a go. Unlike regular earbuds where the sound tube nuzzles into your ear canal — causing fatigue with long-term use — these buds sit around the outer ear, and they don't exert any pressure. You don't get a tight seal, so there isn't the same level of noise isolation as Bluetooth earbuds, but that isn't a big problem.
Most of the time, I didn't even realize I was wearing the buds, and they're designed for all-day use. The bundled ear tips provide good cushioning, and honestly, these may just be among the most comfortable earbuds I used in a long time. Also, they're just fun to use; I couldn't keep a smile off my face the entire time I used these.
Sivga went with a standard MMCX connector to plug the buds to the cable, and that means you can easily switch out cables should you need to do so. The bundled cable is of a decent quality, and it has a nylon sheath and a braided design that gives it better durability. Oh, and the cable gets inline controls, so you can easily adjust volume and pause/play music. It has a built-in mic as well, allowing you to take calls.

The USB-C model has a built-in DAC, and it is quite decent. I used the M260 with my Pixel 11 Pro XL, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and Find X9 Ultra, and they did a great job with a diverse range of music. Sivga went with a custom 14.2mm dynamic driver, and it has a tight bass with a good rumble, clean mids, and smooth treble.
The mid-range is where these earbuds shine, with vocals coming through cleanly and with plenty of definition. They're a great choice if you want to listen to music or stream movies and TV shows.
Because they use USB-C, you can use the buds with just about any phone, tablet, and gaming console without having to get a dongle. That kind of convenience is a big deal in and of itself, and it's good to see Sivga provide a USB-C version.
Honestly, if you want earbuds you can plug in, you can't go wrong with the M260. They have a delightfully-retro design with unmatched comfort, great sound, and build quality that's guaranteed to last. Coming in at $40, they're a great value as well.
The Beats 360 are an interesting mix of hardware and design choices, representing a new approach to Beats headphone design. One that has Apple’s fingerprints all over it. They include some great longevity features right out of the box, so let's get into them.
Though Apple acquired Beats in 2014, the company kept its design aesthetic, with seemingly minor visual changes over the years. Twelve years later, Apple has entered the design chat. Beats has been dabbling in expanding color options for Apple accessories, and that “dabbling” shows up in the 360 ecosystem of frames and accessories.
I can’t help but notice the similarities to the AirPods Max 2. With their thin, round, telescoping arms and flatter cups, the new headphones look like they belong in a Max product lineup, rather than alongside Beats’ current headphone offerings.
The Cloud UltraPlus and Volt Performance Knit kits (Image credit: @tshakaarmstrong)
This year, Beats introduces four frame colors, along with six performance knit and two ultra plush cushion color kits. Each kit includes ear cushions and a headband and costs $50. Beats says that gives you up to 256 combinations if you mix ear and headband cushions.
I have the Sky frames for review, and like the other three frame color options, these come with color-matched Performance Knit Sky ear cushions and headband. Beats also sent me a Volt Performance Knit kit (pictured on the headphones) and a Cloud UltraPlush kit.

The headbands are extremely simple to swap out. I just pulled the Sky headband off and pushed the Volt headband in. They have knit covers and silicone backs with silicone connectors that have bulbous ends that snap into the frames. The ear cushions also have silicone backs with plastic twist-to-lock nodes that lock into L-shaped grooves in the frames.
Since you get two different cushion densities, which can affect sound, the ear cushions have sensors that tell the frames to adjust the tuning so the sound profile stays consistent. Beats 360 also has a chime that sounds off when the ear cushions are properly seated. The LED on the power button will also turn red if they aren’t seated properly.
During my listening sessions, I didn't hear any distracting differences in tone or timbre between the two cushion styles.
Living to the Beat

The Beats 360 are aimed at active consumers on the go. Over the last week, I've worn them for casual listening and gym sessions. The Performance Knit has done a great job wicking sweat while keeping my ears cooler than most competing ear cushions.
For me and my giant bald head, the knit headband and cushion texture provide enough friction that the 360 stays in place when I lay flat on a bench or lean forward for pushups or barbell rows. The clamping force also makes this possible without becoming fatiguing during extended wear, thanks to the softness of the cushions. When things got really sweaty, the physical controls remained responsive, and for the first time, Beats headphones have an IPX4 protection, so I'm not second-guessing using them for sweaty gym sessions.
When the cushions and headbands get icky, you can hand-wash them with diluted liquid laundry detergent, then air-dry them (avoid the dryer). The only issue users on the go may have is that the headphones no longer fold into a small-ish "ball"; instead, the ear cups rotate flat like the AirPods Max 2, taking up more space in your workout or messenger bag.
(Image credit: @tshakaarmstrong)
Both sets of new ear cushions are much deeper, wider, and more comfortable than the Studio Pros. The only downside to the magnificent ear cups is that they don’t include wear-detection sensors, so they won't automatically play or pause music when you put them on or take them off. A disappointing omission for $350 headphones.
What isn't disappointing is the improved longevity, so you can actually get your money's worth. Beats is offering a $79 mail-in or carry-in battery replacement service similar to the Beats Studio Pro and Solo 4. Beats also says it'll offer a user-replaceable, self-service option in the coming months.

The nine-microphone configuration and noise-cancellation algorithms that give the 360 better ANC than the Beats Studio Pro are a boon for fitness-minded folks. In the gym or on the streets, you'll get noticeably better ANC in the high mids and high frequencies.
While that ANC still doesn’t compete with Bose or Sony for canceling voices and high-frequency noise, it does an admirable job with weight plates clanking about and high-frequency airplane cabin hum.

Beats has actively improved its sound signature since the Solo 3, and the 360s are no exception. We’ve said this over and over, but the muddy sound that pre-Apple Beats headphones had is gone, replaced by a more balanced sound with more prominent mids, greater clarity, and highs that can be a bit stilted on some tracks, teetering on the edge of sibilance.
Despite the lack of Hi-Res Wireless Audio support and the loss of USB-C lossless or 3.5mm wired audio support, you’ll still get respectable detail retrieval when listening to songs like Charles Mingus’ “Moanin’.” Though the instrumentation on “Moanin’” wasn’t the strongest I’ve heard, owing to the lack of higher-bitrate stream support, the ability to pick out different instruments in the arrangement during the most frenetic moments is respectable. I can’t say the same for many Bluetooth headphones, including the venerable Sony WH-1000XM6.
That said, the bass still rumbles on my test tracks from The Roots and Skrillex, but it's tight. The soundstage is large and open, and Dolby Atmos tracks sound fully engaging on the Beats 360.
If you’re an iPhone user, Spatial Audio with movies and content that supports it is very immersive, and I actually prefer listening to music with Spatial Audio activated.

I called the Powerbeats Fit my favorite workout earbuds, and now I can call Beats 360 my favorite over-ear workout headphones. Just like I do with my smartwatch bands, using a separate pair for working out, daily wear, and sleeping, the ability to switch out a sweaty headband and pair of ear cushions for a dry pair is a delight. The clamping force during workouts is great. The fit and comfort of the UltraPlush cushions for more recreational active listening is wonderful.
If you’re an audiophile or a frequent traveler who prioritizes space-saving carry, you may want to consider competing products along with the Beats 360. If you’re an athlete or someone who hits the gym, the trails, or the urban jungle regularly, this is my Editor’s Choice for you.
If you're looking to buy a charger in India, you can't go wrong with Stuffcool. The brand regularly churns out reliable products, and with the Omni Pro, it's making its debut with Qi 2.2 charging tech. The Omni Pro is now available for ₹4,999, and that is in line with other Qi 2.2 power banks I used from the likes of Baseus, Anker, and other global brands.
But the Omni Pro isn't just a standard Qi 2.2 power bank. It also has a swivel arm that swings out, and you can easily charge your Apple Watch on it. This is a brilliant idea, and you don't have to take any other devices if you're heading out with an iPhone and Apple Watch. Oh, and there's also a kickstand, giving you the freedom to plonk your phone on the Omni Pro and use it while charging.
The design is elegant too; Stuffcool went with a silver finish that looks good, and build quality is great — I didn't see any issues in the month I used the power bank. It isn't much bigger than other 10,000mAh power banks, and at 214g, you can slot it into a bag without any issues. There's a tiny panel on the left that shows battery level, and while you don't get charging metrics like the Nexode Pro, it is an easy way of seeing how much charge is left on the power bank.
Qi 2.2 charging tech is interesting because it delivers 25W, and I use it constantly with my iPhone 17 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL. I'm switching to the iPhone 18 Pro Max this week, and it's great to be able to reliably charge these devices without having to connect a cable. The versatility of being able to do so with the Apple Watch is just the icing on the cake.
There's a USB-C cable as well that goes up to 35W, so if you need a faster charge, this is the way to go. The internal battery also charges at 35W, and you get a USB-C cable bundled in the box.
The Omni Pro has a 10,000mAh battery, and it can easily charge the Pixel 11 Pro XL or iPhone 18 Pro Max once over. Standard energy conversion means you don't actually get up to 10,000mAh of usable power — it's around 5,500mAh or so. This is the case with all power banks, and the Omni Pro did a good job delivering consistent power in the month I used it.
There aren't many reliable Qi 2.2 power banks in India, and the Omni Pro is one of the best available in the country. It looks good, does a good job charging devices over the Qi 2.2 standard, and is easy to take anywhere.
One UI 9 has started rolling out to some T-Mobile Galaxy S26 Ultra owners in the U.S.
The Android 17-based update is around 4GB in size and also includes the September security patch.
Unlocked Galaxy S26 phones and models on AT&T and Verizon don't appear to have received the update yet..
Samsung has started rolling out the One UI 9 update for Galaxy S26 Ultra owners in the U.S., although it appears to be limited to T-Mobile models for now.
Earlier this month, Samsung announced that One UI 9, which debuted with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series, would begin rolling out to the Galaxy S26 lineup this month. Reports initially suggested the rollout would begin around September 21, but that didn't happen. We later even heard rumors that Samsung may have delayed the Galaxy S26 series' One UI 9 rollout indefinitely.
It now looks like things have taken a U-turn, and there's finally some good news for Samsung users in the U.S. The company appears to have started rolling out One UI 9 to at least some Galaxy S26 Ultra owners.
(Image credit: Reddit u/Strong-Size-700)
A user on Reddit reports that their T-Mobile Galaxy S26 Ultra has received the One UI 9 update. As expected, the update is based on Android 17 and comes in at around 4GB. It carries the build number S948USQU4BZID/S948UOYN4BZID/S948USQU4BZID and also includes the September security patch.
A few other users in the Reddit thread have also confirmed receiving the update on their T-Mobile Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, it appears that other Galaxy S26 models on T-Mobile, alongside unlocked devices and phones on AT&T and Verizon, haven't received the update just yet. So, it looks like T-Mobile may have jumped the gun and started rolling out One UI 9 ahead of the wider U.S. release.
That said, if you have a T-Mobile Galaxy S26 Ultra, it's worth heading into Settings and manually checking for the One UI 9 update if you haven't received a notification yet.
There's currently no word on exactly when One UI 9 will arrive for unlocked devices or other carrier variants. But with the update now appearing on T-Mobile models in the U.S., the wait hopefully shouldn't be much longer.
The AI glasses race is seriously heating up in fall 2026 with yet another new brand, but this one is doing something no one else has done so far. Vonder, a new company from the folks behind Viture and Oura, showed me its new line of intelligent eyewear that's coming to Best Buy shelves in just a few weeks, with preorders starting on September 28.
Vonder sets itself apart by ditching the camera, a piece that's become a privacy nightmare for some smart glasses, and instead uses a combination of bone conduction sensors, powerful speakers, and seriously intelligent AI to create a totally different experience.
Instead of capturing moments in photos or videos, Vonder Intelligent Eyewear captures all the thoughts you (and only you) have spoken out loud throughout the day and turns them into searchable, actionable information. It's a similar concept to MemoMind One, but with a far more private experience and more mature software, and they're going to be a huge hit if my time with them is any indication.
A chat with the founders
(Image credit: Nicholas Sutrich / Android Central)
I spent just over two hours chatting with two of Vonder's three founders, Emily Wang and David Jiang, on a Monday afternoon in Palo Alto. The duo showed up with a briefcase full of Vonder glasses, showcasing a blend of every glasses style the company offers.
As they talked to me about their latest product, Emily, who co-founded Viture (some of the best smart glasses), pointed out that David was wearing the style I had just picked up, something I hadn't noticed at all because the glasses looked so normal. Even Ray-Ban Metas are a tad thicker than a normal pair of Ray-Bans, but these glasses had totally fooled me, and that's just the start of where Vonder got things right.
At just 30g, these glasses are by far the lightest smart glasses I've worn to date, making them the same weight as a normal prescription pair. It's the moment I've been waiting for, and I know a lot of other people have, as well.

But what good are smart glasses without a camera? Here's where the paradigm shift comes in. Instead of capturing moments in the form of photos and video, Vonder Intelligent Eyewear captures your thoughts as you speak them out loud via a clever bone conduction sensor located at the end of the temples, before the curved temple tips.
This ensures that other people around you aren't recorded without their consent. Consent is the biggest problem with smart glasses today, and Vonder's clever design goes a long way to solving it. You can even permanently delete all your data with one tap in the app if you want to.
The glasses have two switches onboard plus a tactile raised touchpad on the underside of the right temple. One switch is a power switch, while the other is a "meeting mode" switch. This second one switches the glasses' recording function from bone conduction to four microphones located on the temples: two forward and two downward.
Nicholas Sutrich / Android CentralNicholas Sutrich / Android CentralNicholas Sutrich / Android CentralNicholas Sutrich / Android Central
This mode is intended to be used only for recording meeting notes or other conversations that are important and is paired with a tamper-proof bright blue LED on the side. Start recording, and it immediately illuminates. Flip the switch, and it turns off. Audio is deleted the moment it's transcribed.
Vonder's AI platform soaks in all the data and turns it into actionable items and summaries. Full conversations — whether they're just your thoughts or the entire meeting room's — are not available at any time. "Notes, not recordings," is one of Vonder's key tenets for ensuring privacy, and it seems to work impressively well in the two hours I spent talking to Emily and David.
The Vonder app and web platform store all these notes for future reference, allowing you to search your memories at any time. It's a full AI agent that's powered by every major AI platform to date, including ChatGPT, Gemini, you name it, so you know it works well.
The service sports a unique 3D knowledge cloud that links common topics you talk about. Everything is not only searchable when you need it, but also proactive. That means when you search using Vonder, it doesn't just come up with the same information that ChatGPT or Gemini would; it also adds your memories into the mix.
Vonder AI can even be connected to your Google account, letting it parse details from there. David showed me his AI-generated daily digest, which included a "know before you go" summary of my bio and articles I've published about Viture, all pulled from the calendar entry for u
It's the sort of personalized "superintelligence" that we've heard Google, Meta, and others talk about, and it's made possible by a pair of ordinary-looking glasses you'll want to wear all day.
Less looking down, more looking forward

As David Jiang was telling me this, he made it a point to highlight the brand's blend of fashion and tech roots. Emily Wang, who was also at the table, previously worked for The RealReal and NEIWAI. The company's other co-founder, Guillaume Hamon, comes from Rivian and Oura, while David himself hails from Google.
Vonder features European design, comes in six different styles, three different colors, two sizes for each style, and a boatload of different lens and color combinations for all of them. Unlike Meta's somewhat confusing product lineup, which features a mishmash of colors and style options unique to each line, everything Vonder makes is available in the style you want.
It's all part of making glasses you'll actually want to wear all day, including battery life that matches the part. Vonder glasses ship with a magnetic charging cable that lets them charge while being worn (unlike glasses that charge in a case), but you likely won't ever need to do this thanks to 16-hour long battery life. That's more than double Meta's best estimates.
Nicholas Sutrich / Android CentralNicholas Sutrich / Android CentralNicholas Sutrich / Android CentralNicholas Sutrich / Android Central
And, of course, there's no denying the utility that comes with a wearable AI companion. Vonder is a 100% American company founded and based in San Francisco's Bay Area, another building block in ensuring you feel comfortable while wearing these glasses.
Plus, Vonder AI seems to actually be able to do "regular" tasks like play and control music and answer calls with your voice, something brands like Even Realities and MemoMind haven't been able to deliver on just yet. And if you'd prefer a pair of Vonder glasses with displays in the lenses, well, they've got that coming, too!
All of this adds up to the best pair of camera-free AI glasses I've used to date, and I can't wait to get a final retail pair on my head.
