The launch event is scheduled for 2:30pm local time (12pm IST), and OnePlus has confirmed some key hardware specifications. The OnePlus Ace 5 Racing Edition will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e chipset, while the more premium Ace 5 Ultra will feature the Dimensity 9400+ SoC.

Google Launches NotebookLM App on Android and iOS With New Audio Overviews Feature

Google Launches NotebookLM App for Android and iOS With Offline Audio Overviews

Google has officially released its standalone NotebookLM app for Android and iOS, marking a significant expansion of its AI-powered note-taking platform. Initially listed earlier this month on Google Play and the App Store with pre-registration options, the app is now widely available to download. The mobile version brings many of the core capabilities of the web platform to smartphones and tablets, along with a notable addition — the Audio Overviews feature. While there are still some limitations compared to the web version, the app aims to offer a streamlined, intelligent note organization experience on the go.

Users who had pre-registered for NotebookLM were notified on Monday as the app rolled out across both platforms. Google confirmed the launch through an official blog post, stating that while the app is still in its early stages, it includes foundational tools that users have come to rely on. More features are expected to be added in future updates, as the company continues to refine the mobile experience based on user feedback.

Upon opening the NotebookLM app, users are greeted with a home page displaying all their notebooks. Each notebook is assigned an emoji based on its content, adding a personalized touch. Users can rename notebooks and add content such as PDFs, web links, YouTube videos, and copied text. However, certain file types like audio files, markdown text, Google Docs, and Slides — which are available on the web version — are not currently supported in the app. Still, the standout feature, Audio Overviews, has made it to mobile. This allows users to generate AI-driven audio summaries of their notebooks via the Studio tab, offering an innovative way to engage with content.

Audio Overviews can typically be streamed online, but Google has also included a download option for offline listening — a valuable addition for users on the move. Furthermore, users can “join” the AI discussion within the overview and interact by asking follow-up questions. Although some features like study guide creation and MindMap are not yet available in the mobile version, NotebookLM’s core strengths — including topic summarization and AI chat for contextual queries — make it a powerful tool for students, researchers, and professionals alike.
