Xiaomi 14 Ultra brings titanium frame next month, Nothing 2a price leaks, Week 7 in review

This week Google expanded the Gemini mobile app to Latin America, Africa, Asia Pacific, and Canada. If you’re not in those regions but want to try out Gemini, you can sideload the app on your Android device. We can confirm Gemini works as intended in Europe with Google Assistant language set to US English. Do note that once you install and set up Gemini, it will replace your Google Assistant.

The iPhone 16 Pro series could bring bigger batteries and up to 2TB of storage. Adding to the rumored bigger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays of the 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, 2024’s iPhones look solid.

Nothing officially announced the Phone (2a) is coming on the 5 of March, and we have an expected price – €349 for an 8/128GB model, and €399 for a 12/256GB unit.
