Google’s new Pixel 9a has virtually eliminated its camera bump, to no small controversy. The company earlier shared how the phone’s larger battery helps balance out camera component thickness. Now Google’s talking directly about its design priorities for a playful, minimalist camera. The Pixel 9a has finally arrived, but not without a measure of controversy. We’re not talking about its mysterious delay, either; lots of Pixel fans seem to have some strong thoughts about Google’s decision to eliminate the raised camera bar on the Pixel 9a. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion here, but if you’re curious to learn a little more about how we got to this point, Google’s sharing a bit of insight into its design journey with the Pixel 9a’s camera. With the Pixel 9a now available at carriers, Google is opening up about how the phone took shape in the way it did, talking about things like its not-quite-purple, not-quite-blue “Iris” colorway, or the choice to go with a 120Hz pOLED display. But like so many of you, it’s the choices that led us down this path to remove the camera bar that we’re most curious about.

Credit: OPPO OPPO just announced its new AI Search feature, which is rolling out to the Find N5 globally starting today. Google Cloud powers the global version underneath the hood. Unlike Galaxy AI search functions in One UI 7, OPPO’s works in one place and covers everything. When Samsung launched One UI 7 alongside the Galaxy S25 series, it focused heavily on its new AI-powered search functions. Using Galaxy AI, you can find specific settings, photos, and more just by using natural language. The problem, though, is that you need to use specific search bars for these functions, i.e., the search bar in the Settings app to find settings and the search bar in the Gallery app to find photos. Today, OPPO has announced the rollout of its own AI Search function, which does basically the same thing as Samsung’s. Crucially, however, OPPO’s works in one spot and covers everything you need, making it much more intuitive and convenient.
