At Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event on Wednesday, the company unveiled the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. Google marked the occasion with a series of Android updates, including key updates to its AI assistant, Gemini.
Starting today, users can access an enhanced Gemini, which integrates with apps and services on one device. In a single message, you can ask the AI to perform multiple actions in different applications. For example, if you’re looking for a nearby restaurant and want to share the options with someone, Gemini can use Google Maps to generate recommendations and then compose a message to send via Google Messages.
The company also launched new Gemini extensions for Samsung Calendar, Samsung Clock, Samsung Notes and Samsung Reminder.
Additionally, Samsung introduced new features for Gemini liveGoogle’s voice-based feature that offers a conversational experience. For example, you can practice an important presentation with the assistant and receive immediate spoken feedback. Users can also upload images, files, and even YouTube videos into the conversation, making Gemini Live more multimodal and contextual.
In the coming months, Samsung will launch the capabilities of Project Astra, which is Google’s real-time multimodal AI assistant. New additions include screen sharing and live video streaming. These will appear first in the Gemini app on Android and then on the Galaxy S25 line.
The announcements arrive alongside a new side button for the Galaxy S25 series that lets you quickly access Gemini. With a single press, you can ask the AI to perform tasks like setting a reminder, saving a note, or letting you know about an upcoming meeting.
You can pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S25 series today. Starts shipping on February 7th.
