GoPro Set To Launch Two New Cameras, Including Hero 13 Black
The latest version of the company’s flagship action camera will be revealed on September 4, along with a second, more compact device.
GoPro is preparing to unveil two new action cameras this year, with the launch date officially confirmed as September 4. One of the new models is expected to be the GoPro Hero 13 Black, while the other could be a smaller, more compact action camera.
A hands-on video of the Hero 13 Black has already surfaced online, giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come. GoPro also made an official announcement on X, stating that the launch event is scheduled for September 4 at 5:00 PM (Dubai Time). The teaser video released by the company hints at the design of both new cameras, though the model names haven’t been confirmed just yet.

Judging by the reveal, it’s likely that one of the models is indeed the GoPro Hero 13 Black, with the second camera possibly being a smaller “mini” model. This widespread assumption is also supported by a promotional banner on GoPro’s official website, which confirms the release of two new cameras.
Tipster Igor Bogdanov (@Quadro_News), known for his reliable tech leaks, shared a hands-on video showcasing the GoPro Hero 13 Black. The video highlights the camera’s screen and displays the “13 Black” label next to the sensor. Additionally, the right side of the camera features the power/mode button and “13 Black” branding.

Earlier reports have already indicated that the GoPro Hero 13 Black will likely retain the same camera and recording features as the Hero 12 Black. It’s expected to include a 27-megapixel sensor capable of recording in 5.3K and 4K at 60 and 120 FPS, respectively. The camera might also incorporate HyperSmooth 6.0 image stabilization and HDR capabilities, similar to its predecessor.

Google Releases Veo 2 AI Video Tool To MENA Users
The state-of-the-art video generation model is now available in Gemini, offering realistic AI-generated videos with better physics, motion, and detail.
Starting today, users of Gemini Advanced in the MENA region — and globally — can tap into Veo 2, Google’s next-generation video model.
Originally unveiled in 2024, Veo 2 has now been fully integrated into Gemini, supporting multiple languages including Arabic and English. The rollout now brings Google’s most advanced video AI directly into the hands of everyday users.
Veo 2 builds on the foundations of its predecessor with a more sophisticated understanding of the physical world. It’s designed to produce high-fidelity video content with cinematic detail, realistic motion, and greater visual consistency across a wide range of subjects and styles. Whether recreating natural landscapes, human interactions, or stylized environments, the model is capable of interpreting and translating written prompts into eight-second 720p videos that feel almost handcrafted.
Users can generate content directly through the Gemini platform — either via the web or mobile apps. The experience is pretty straightforward: users enter a text-based prompt, and Veo 2 returns a video in 16:9 landscape format, delivered as an MP4 file. These aren’t just generic clips — they can reflect creative, abstract, or highly specific scenarios, making the tool especially useful for content creators, marketers, or anyone experimenting with visual storytelling.

To ensure transparency, each video is embedded with SynthID — a digital watermark developed by Google’s DeepMind. The watermark is invisible to the human eye but persists across editing, compression, and sharing. It identifies the video as AI-generated, addressing concerns around misinformation and media authenticity.
While Veo 2 is still in its early phases of public rollout, the technology is part of a broader push by Google to democratize advanced AI tools. With text-to-image, code generation, and now video creation integrated into Gemini, Google is positioning the platform as a full-spectrum creative assistant.
Access to Veo 2 starts today and will continue expanding in the coming weeks. Interested users can try it out at gemini.google.com or through the Gemini app on Android and iOS.
