DJI Mini 3 Pro Is More Capable In Every Way But Also More Expensive
With the optional Intelligent Flight Battery Plus battery upgrade, you’ll get an impressive flight time of 47 minutes.
DJI has just announced the successor to the Mini 2, and drone enthusiasts have a lot to look forward to because just about everything that could have been improved has been improved.
The new drone, called Mini 3 Pro, features a larger 1/1.3-inch sensor (the Mini 2 has a 1/2.3-inch sensor) that can record 4K video at up to 60 frames per second. The sensor supports HDR, but turning this feature on limits the maximum frame rate to 30 when recording 4K video.
Professional videographers will appreciate the ability to record in a flat color profile for more flexibility during post-processing.
Besides recording videos, the Mini 3 Pro can also capture still pictures, and their maximum resolution is 48 MP. Because the drone’s sensor is paired with an f/1.7 aperture, you can expect great low-light performance both when recording videos and capturing photos.
Of course, even the best image quality isn’t all that useful if your drone can’t stay in the air long enough for you to capture the desired footage. Here, the Mini 3 Pro offers two battery options, and they’re both quite impressive.
With the standard battery, the drone has a flight time of 34 minutes, so you’re already looking at 3 extra minutes compared with the Mini 2. However, you can also get the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus battery upgrade for a flight time of 47 minutes — that’s impressive!

The only downside is that the larger battery makes the total weight of the drone exceed 250 grams, the limit for drone registration set by the FAA and several other transportation agencies around the world.
Without the larger battery, the DJI Mini 3 Pro costs $669, and the kit the battery comes with is priced at $909. You can also pay $340 to add the new DJI RC controller, which supports powerful O3+ video transmission technology.
The Mini 3 Pro can be pre-ordered right now directly from DJI, and it’s expected to ship this summer.

Nano Banana 2 Arrives In MENA For Google Gemini Users
Google brings its latest image model to Gemini and Search, adding 4K output and tighter text control for regional users.
Google has opened access to Nano Banana 2 across the Middle East and North Africa, pushing its newest image model into everyday tools rather than keeping it inside the exclusive (and expensive) Pro tier.
The rollout spans the Google Gemini desktop and mobile apps, and extends to Google Search through Lens and AI Mode. Developers can also test it in preview via AI Studio and the Gemini API.
Nano Banana 2 runs on Gemini Flash, Google’s fast inference layer. The focus is speed, but also control. Users can export visuals from 512px up to 4K, adjusting aspect ratios for everything from vertical social posts to widescreen displays.
The model maintains character likeness across up to five figures and preserves fidelity for as many as 14 objects within a single workflow. This enables visual continuity across scenes, iterations, or edits — supporting projects like short films, storyboards, and multi-scene narratives. Text rendering has also been improved, delivering legible typography in mockups and greeting cards, with built-in translation and localization directly within images.

Under the hood, the system taps Gemini’s broader knowledge base and pulls in real-time information and imagery from web search to render specific subjects more accurately. Lighting and fine detail have been upgraded, without slowing output.
By embedding the model inside Gemini and Search, Google is normalizing advanced image generation for a mass audience. In MENA, where startups and marketing teams are leaning heavily on AI to scale content across languages and borders, that shift lands at a practical moment.
The move also folds creative tooling deeper into search itself, so that image generation is no longer a separate workflow. It now sits right next to the query box.
