Google Find Hub update brings new ‘Remembered’ tab with Gemini

Curated by · TechCapsules ·

AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication

Google is rolling out version 3.1.732-02 of its Find Hub app, introducing a new “Remembered” tab powered by Gemini. This update adds to the existing Devices and People sections, allowing users to log the locations of everyday belongings. Users can instruct Gemini to remember where items like passports are stored via voice commands or manual entry. The manual option lets users specify an item’s name, storage spot, location, and notes, with optional photo attachments. A floating action button provides quick access to ask Gemini or add new entries. The feature integrates seamlessly with the full Gemini app for hands-free interaction. While the update is currently available on the Google Play Store, it is not yet widely distributed to all users. This enhancement aims to streamline how Android users track personal items using AI assistance within the Find Hub ecosystem.

💡 Why It Matters

  • · It transforms a simple location tracker into an AI-driven memory assistant for physical objects.
  • · Users no longer need to manually search for misplaced items; they can simply ask where they left them.

These popular Samsung phones just received their final software update

Samsung announced that its 2021 foldable models, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, have reached the end of their software support cycle. Both devices will receive no further OS upgrades or patches after completing the five‑year commitment Samsung made at launch—four years of OS updates and five years of security fixes. The company removed the phones from its security‑update webpage, confirming the termination of patches. While newer flagships such as the Galaxy S24 Ultra now enjoy seven years of support, the older foldables are limited to the promised timeframe. Remaining supported foldables are the Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4, which have shifted to a quarterly update cadence. Users of the discontinued models are advised to consider upgrading to hardware.

💡 Owners of the Fold 3 or Flip 3 now face unpatched vulnerabilities, making migration to newer devices a security imperative.

OPPO’s Find X10 Pro Max will launch in China this month, featuring the world’s first triple 200‑megapixel camera array developed with Hasselblad.

The periscope telephoto, 70 mm focal length, and 10 cm macro mode also support 8K video. The phone will ship with ColorOS 17, a Dimensity 9600 Pro chip, a 6.78‑inch 2K LTPO OLED, and an 8,000‑mAh battery.

💡 The triple‑200MP setup sets a new benchmark for smartphone photography, pushing the limits of resolution and low‑light performance. It signals a shift toward premium imaging hardware that could redefine consumer expectations for mobile cameras.

Google regularly updates Android Auto and Maps, yet these isolated bugs persist.

💡 The sudden loss of real‑time speed and traffic information undermines driver safety and navigation reliability, prompting concerns over Google’s rollout strategy.

Apple faces new UK rules over nude images on children’s iPhones

The UK government announced plans to legislate device‑level safeguards on iPhones and Android tablets, targeting the creation, sharing, and viewing of nude images by minors. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said the bill would compel Apple and Google to strengthen existing features, which she claims fall short of the crisis’s scale. The move follows a voluntary deadline given to tech firms in June and is part of a broader strategy to curb child sexual exploitation online. Apple has pledged to enhance its safety tools in line with the proposal.

💡 By mandating built‑in protections, the UK seeks to close a loophole that lets children distribute intimate images, a key driver of online grooming and extortion. The legislation could set a precedent for other nations to adopt similar device‑level safeguards.
