Google just dropped a fresh round of updates for Pixel owners, and this time it’s all about making AI portable, not just flashy. If you’re lucky enough to own a Pixel 9 Pro, you’ll get access to its powerful Veo 3 tool, Google’s latest leap into AI-powered video generation.

Veo 3 isn’t your average video tool. It creates high-quality, eight-second videos from just a text description, complete with original audio. Think of it as your personal filmmaker that doesn’t need a tripod or editing software. Describe a scene and watch it come to life, right on your phone. It’s powered by the same tech behind Google’s ongoing push into generative AI, and with AI Pro, you’ll get full access — no top-tier Ultra subscription required.
But Veo is just the tip of Google’s premium AI iceberg. The AI Pro subscription also unlocks the full Gemini 2.5 Pro experience, complete with Deep Research and its powerful thinking abilities. There’s Flow, an AI storytelling tool that lets you build cinematic sequences, and Whisk, a Veo-powered image-to-video remix tool. You’ll also get 1,000 AI credits each month to spend across both.
Writers and researchers can dive into NotebookLM, now upgraded with higher limits on Audio Overviews, notebooks, and additional education- and professional-friendly tools. Plus, Gemini is sliding deeper into Google’s ecosystem: you’ll find it in Gmail, Docs, and Chrome, and — no surprise here — 2TB of cloud storage is bundled in too.
But wait, that’s not all
On top of the AI-centric features, Google is leveling up Circle to Search today. The new AI Mode lets you ask contextual follow-up questions based on anything on your screen, and it’s coming to Pixel users in the U.S. and India. Playing a mobile game and stuck on a boss fight? Circle to Search now delivers time-stamped tips and videos tailored to your exact in-game moment, without the hassle of switching between apps.
Google’s continued on-device advancement brings the reality of AI’s effectiveness into clearer focus. It isn’t just a backend buzzword anymore, it’s front and center in the Pixel experience. Whether you’re making videos, researching, writing, or just searching smarter, the Pixel 9 Pro is shaping up to be a full-fledged AI device in your pocket.
And for once, it’s not a beta.
