Google TV is getting smarter so you don't have to grab your phone to find something
Google
If you have ever spent more time scrolling through rows of content than actually watching one, Google has a fix. With the latest Gemini update for Google TV, you can talk to the assistant, ask questions, and get relevant information in one place.
The update brings three Gemini features so you don’t have to grab your phone to check scores or figure out what to watch.
Smarter answers and deep learning on your Google TV
Google
Gemini now responds with richer, more useful results depending on what you ask. If you ask for a recipe, you will get a video tutorial instead of just text. It basically combines visuals, videos, and information in one response, so you don’t need to search elsewhere.
There is also a new “deep dives” feature that turns your TV into a learning tool. You can explore topics like health, technology, or economics through narrated visual breakdowns.
Google
For example, Gemini can explain how cold plunging affects your body or show how matcha is made step by step. You can even go further by tapping “Dive deeper,” which opens guided, interactive explanations with follow-up questions.
Gemini on Google TV will keep you updated on sports news
Google is also expanding its short news summaries into sports. These new sports briefs give you quick, narrated updates on leagues like the NBA, NHL, MLB, and more. If you check sports scores, you will see a live scorecard along with where to watch.
Google
Instead of searching on the web, you can get highlights, player updates, and game summaries through Gemini. It can also help change your Google TV settings through voice commands.
These features are now rolling out to Gemini-enabled devices in the U.S. and Canada, with broader device support coming soon. The Gemini voice assistant on Google TV is expected to reach more countries later this year.
If this works as intended, your smart TV could become the place where you search, learn, and stay updated without ever reaching for your phone.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra might not see much of a battery upgrade after all
It looks like it will stay the same as the last five years.
What's happened? This week, China's Quality Certification Center released information about a battery (EB-BS04898ABY) with a maximum capacity of 4,855mAh. That's the same capacity as was previously seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and fans have taken this certification to mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see a capacity increase after all.
The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models have had the same battery capacity for the last five years.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is official, and it’ll be here sooner than you think
What's happened? Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, a budget-friendly alternative to the Galaxy Tab S10. The device has been rumored for months, but this is the first time Samsung has officially acknowledged its existence.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will have a 10.9-inch display and a peak brightness of 600 nits — a bit on the lower side, versus the iPad Pro's maximum brightness of 1,600 nits.
