The phone uses Corning's Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 for the display, bringing "vibrancy and strength" to the phone's front glass, per Samsung.

    Google Search's AI Mode has found a home within the Google app's search bar following multiple changes. AI Mode previously existed within the Google app's shortcuts row, and its relocation has led to the removal of Homework, Translate, and Sound Search shortcuts. The repositioned AI Mode shortcut is rolling out to both stable and beta versions of the Google app. We've known about AI Mode in Google Search since December, though it only went official two months ago.
