Do you think Samsung is doing too much AI?
“We don’t want to overwhelm the consumer with AI,” Samsung EVP Jay Kim told Tom's Guide. “A lot of industry focus on AI is sort of as itself as a technology, but I think it’s shifting from technology to benefits. We’re looking at how you make this meaningful, how do you make this more easy to access?”
How do you think the company's latest phones are handling AI? Is it too much or just right?

Google drops a big YouTube teaser for Pixel 11 Pro
Unlike Apple, Google has never been one for keeping secrets about its upcoming devices. The company has just dropped a teaser for the upcoming Pixel 11 Pro showing an outline of the phone and the launch date: August 12.
The focus of the tease is a colorful new circular indicator nestled inside the phone's iconic camera bar. To me, it looks unnervingly like the spinning rainbow wheel on a Mac that kicks in when an app is unresponsive.
If you're excited about Google's upcoming flagship device, check out our rumor hub here on everything we know so far about it.
