Samsung Galaxy smartphones are the first to get Gemini Live
Samsung Galaxy users get ready to experience Gemini Live on their smartphones. Google introduced the advanced version of its Gemini AI assistant, Gemini Live, which has started rolling out to Samsung smartphones ahead of the launch of the Pixel 9 series.
Google claimed in the Pixel 9 series announcement that it will make the advanced version of its Gemini AI assistant, Gemini Live, available on Pixel and Samsung smartphones and tablets.
Noticeably, Gemini Live will only be available to those who have subscribed to Gemini’s paid version. It permits you to have continuous conversations with Gemini Live, similar to normal people. It lets you interrupt Gemini Live while it’s speaking to request additional details, returning to the original topic later.
However, the brand has yet to integrate with other Google services. It’s expected that it could be implemented in the coming months. Once you activate Gemini Live, you will see a waveform badge on the bottom right corner with a small sparkle icon. Its introduction informs you how to use it so that you can easily hold the conversation or end it using two dedicated buttons.
Gemini Live’s UI is pretty clean and takes up the whole screen but shows other applications in the background. There are ten Gemini Live voice options to choose from. Users can toggle the ‘Interrupt Live Responses’ feature in the app’s settings. Gemini Live is only available in English, and support for other languages might be launched in the coming months.
