Google has provided a year's free AI Pro subscription to Pixel 9 Pro users, including features like the Veo 3 video tool, Gemini AI, and 2TB storage. Simultaneously, the search, watch, and gaming experiences have been made even smarter with AI.
Google AI Pro Plan: Google has released its latest Pixel Feature Drop for July 2025, presenting Pixel 9 Pro users with exclusive and powerful features that can completely transform the smartphone experience. This Pixel Drop not only improves the camera and search experience but also takes creativity, smart assistance, and the watch interface to new heights through AI technology.
Google AI Pro Plan: Pixel 9 Pro Users Get Free Access for a Year
Google announced with this update that Pixel 9 Pro users will receive a free subscription to the Google AI Pro Plan for a year. In India, this plan is priced at approximately ₹1,950 per month, meaning users will receive a benefit of around ₹23,400 for free.
Under this pro plan, users will gain access to some of Google's most powerful AI tools:
- Access to Gemini 2.5 Pro and Deep Research models
- Limited access to the Veo 3 video generation model
- 1,000 AI credits per month
- 2TB cloud storage
- AI assistance in Google Docs, Gmail, and Chrome
- High-level processing in audio overviews and multimedia functions
AI's Entry into Filmmaking: Creative Power Through Flow and Whisk
Pixel 9 Pro users can now utilize Google's new AI-based film production tool, Flow, which is specifically designed with the Veo 3 model. The Flow app allows users to create automatic videos simply by providing text input – meaning the journey from idea to video is now faster and easier than ever before. In addition, the Whisk app provides users with image-to-video conversion using the Veo 2 model, along with high credit limits. This opens up new possibilities for digital content creators.
Changes in Search: Circle-to-Search with AI Mode
Through this feature drop, Google has made its search experience even smarter. The Circle-to-Search feature now includes AI mode. This means users can circle text or images on any screen and ask questions about them, receiving answers with inline AI citations. The most special aspect of this feature is the in-game visual lookup, through which information can be obtained on any problematic scene while gaming — without leaving the game.
AI's Presence on Smartwatches: Gemini Now on Your Wrist
Pixel Watch, running on Wear OS 4 or above, has become even smarter with Gemini AI. Users can now perform the following tasks directly on the watch:
- Send text messages
- Get navigation and directions
- Plan travel
- Set reminders
- Summarize emails
- Ask to remember information on any topic
This has all been made possible with Natural Language Support, making conversations and commands on smartwatches a very seamless experience.
Simultaneous Release in India and the United States
Google has clarified that this Pixel Drop has been rolled out simultaneously for users in India and the United States. This is also great news for Pixel users in India, as they are now immediately experiencing features launching globally.
Will Other Pixel Devices Benefit?
While this AI Pro plan and some specific features are limited to the Pixel 9 Pro, some features like Circle-to-Search and Gemini watch support may also be made available on other devices like the Pixel 8 Series and Pixel Fold. Google's move is taking the Pixel lineup towards an AI-powered flagship platform.
