Samsung has recently introduced a new software update named Gemini Live that enhances the camera capabilities of the Galaxy S25 series smartphones. Starting from April 7th, this update will be available to all users of the Galaxy S25, allowing them to access advanced real-time visual AI features at no additional cost. With the Gemini Live update, the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra models will enable users to interact with Google’s Gemini Live AI assistant using their smartphones’ cameras.
This update marks a significant development in mobile AI by facilitating more natural and dynamic conversational interactions. Users can initiate this interaction simply by pressing and holding the side button of their Galaxy S25. This action will activate the camera, allowing Gemini Live to see the environment in real-time while engaging in conversation with the user.
Jay Kim, Executive Vice President at Samsung Electronics, emphasized the importance of this partnership with Google, highlighting the progress being made towards creating smarter AI interactions that align with everyday life. The features of Gemini Live open up exciting possibilities for users. For instance, the AI can offer personalized styling advice.
If a user is uncertain about which shoes complement a chosen outfit, they can direct their phone’s camera at the dress and ask Gemini Live for advice. The AI is designed to understand the visual input from the camera and provide relevant responses, enhancing the user experience. In addition to fashion assistance, users can leverage these AI capabilities for tasks like organizing closets and receiving personalized recommendations while browsing retail websites.
The rollout of Gemini Live, complete with camera and screen sharing features, is now accessible to all Galaxy S25 users, and older flagship Galaxy smartphone users can anticipate similar functionalities in the near future.
