At its firstUnpacked eventof the yr , Samsung talked extensively about the Gemini - ram AI capabilities on their phones . And for a here and now , I was excited , until I came across a Google press release .
Of the two major feature discussed on stage , one of them is already coming to Pixels , and the other one will be uncommitted on iPhones , Androids , and the desktop World Wide Web .
Google justannounceda legion of variety for its Gemini assistant that truly push it in the agentic AI epoch . Let ’s originate with extensions , which essentially need an “ @ “ system ( a la Workspace ) in the chats to get a task done in the butt app .
So , let ’s say I say Gemini “ Say hi to Christina @WhatsApp , ” it would send a text in the messaging app . For Google apps , you’re able to even decamp the extension , as the AI will contextually default to the appropriate help such as Messages or Map .
Now , Gemini will be able to employ multiple extension service in a single prompting . So , a command like “ find me the nigh kebab house and commit it to Drew ” will get the chore done across Maps and Messages .
This capability is already rolling across thePixel 9series smartphones . If you own a SamsungGalaxy S25 serial publication earpiece , Gemini will dip into the data stored across Samsung ’s own armed service , such as Calendar and Notes , as well .
Multi - extension support will finally make its way to iOS , Android , and the web version of Gemini , as well .
Gemini Live , the conversational side of Geminiis also getting a major renovation . So far , it has only been able to charter in audio conversation with user .
Now , users can also impart images , YouTube videos , and local file cabinet to their conversations with Gemini Live . So far , this capability has been limited to text interactions with Gemini , or within the experimental NotebookLM tool .
This feature will come out on theGalaxy S24 , Galaxy S25 , and Google Pixel 9 series phones starting today .
In the come weeks , screenland sharing and live streaming capabilities will also make their style to Gemini . This is eventually going to bringGoogle ’s ambitious Project Astra systemto smartphones .
Another fantastical update is the reaching of Deep Research in the Gemini mobile . Deep Research is the most much rewarding Gemini productby a far allowance , as it reimagines the integral internet search experience and represent information only from specified sources .
There are no risks of hallucinations , or the added focus of fact - checking , as long as you intrust the source of your information . But do keep in mind that you demand a Gemini Advanced subscription to get at it .
