Google has recently released a video highlighting a Pixel feature that many users might not be fully taking advantage of. While the July 9 feature drop mostly focused on the Gemini smartwatch update, a new benefit quietly launched alongside it. 
Pixel 9 Pro owners are now entitled to a free one-year subscription to Google AI Pro, granting access to premium features such as the Veo 3 video tool.
Veo 3 allows users to create high-quality videos by simply describing a scene. For example, a user can upload an image and enter a prompt like ‘a child running through a sunflower field.’ Gemini AI will then generate a realistic video based on that prompt, complete with smooth animation and natural sound.
Gemini AI Pro, Google’s premium AI subscription, unlocks advanced tools powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro, offering more capabilities than the free version. Veo 3, one of the newest tools in the suite, stands out for its ability to produce dynamic, lifelike videos, a major leap from merely creating still images.
This continues Google’s trend of adding exclusive AI tools to its top-tier Pixel devices. Last year, the Pixel 8 Pro was the first to feature Gemini Nano, and now, Pixel 9 Pro owners are the first to experience Veo 3 via a free trial. This shift shows how much more AI is integrated into Google’s strategy, particularly for creative features beyond simple editing tools. Veo 3 offers users a new way to tell stories or create art with realistic motion and sound, adding significant value for those owning the Pixel 9 Pro.
