What’s happened? Samsung has added Google’s popular image-editing AI, Nano Banana, to the ‘Now Brief’ section on supported Galaxy phones inside the Personal Data Intelligence app (via SamMobile). The feature is currently rolling out to supported Galaxy devices that have access to Galaxy AI.

  • When you update the new version of the Personal Data Intelligence app via the Galaxy Store on supported Galaxy phones, you’ll find a fresh toggle for “Nano Banana image-creation” under Now Brief’s settings.
  • Once enabled, Now Brief will pick a random image (often a selfie) from your gallery at the end of the day, then offer ready-made prompts to transform it using Google’s Nano Banana AI.
  • The image is uploaded to Google’s servers, processed, and you can save, copy, or share the result.

This is important because: Samsung is boosting AI features in the Now Brief section, turning it into a creative playground.

  • Nano Banana supports text and image prompts, multi-image fusion, and subject consistency, so edits can keep the person in your selfie recognizable while changing background, style, or context, in a more powerful way than basic filters.
  • The feature bridges Samsung’s Galaxy AI and Google’s Gemini ecosystem, showing how device makers are teaming up rather than going solo in AI.

Why should I care? You can try Galaxy AI on any phone using Samsung’s browser demo. But if you own a supported Galaxy phone and like playing with images, this change gives you a fresh, automatic way to remix your photos using top-tier AI.

OK, what’s next? To try AI image editing on your Samsung phone, update the Personal Data Intelligence app in Galaxy Store.

  • One note of caution: because the photo is uploaded to Google’s servers for processing, you’ll want to review permission settings and be aware of what data you’re sharing.
  • Expect style packs, new prompt templates, and expanded device support, as Samsung often rolls these out incrementally.

iPhone Air 2 leak points to a smaller Dynamic Island and upgraded cameras
Apple's iPhone Air 2 may bring a cleaner display and new ultra-wide camera
iPhone Air in hand

Apple's second-generation iPhone Air is beginning to take shape, and if the latest supply chain report is accurate, the company isn't simply refreshing the hardware. Instead, it appears to be refining the formula that made the first iPhone Air stand out. According to analyst Jeff Pu, the iPhone Air 2, expected to launch in early 2027, will retain its slim profile while introducing a smaller Dynamic Island, an upgraded camera system, and Apple's next-generation silicon.

Unlike the Pro models, which often chase headline-grabbing camera upgrades or new materials, the Air lineup appears to be evolving through careful iteration. None of the rumored changes are individually revolutionary, but together they suggest Apple is addressing some of the biggest compromises of the original device.

Galaxy S27 Ultra price hike looks unavoidable as component prices continue to spiral
Higher RAM, storage, and processor costs could hit the Galaxy S27 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

The Galaxy S27 series is still several months away, but the first price hike rumor has already arrived. According to tipster kro on X, the Galaxy S27 Ultra could cost up to 150,000 won more than its predecessor in South Korea, which works out to around $104.

Of course, a Korean price increase does not guarantee an identical hike in the US or other markets. However, the claim is not difficult to believe considering Samsung’s recent warnings about rising component costs.
