In an exciting development for mobile technology enthusiasts, Samsung has announced a groundbreaking update for Galaxy S25 users that will enable real-time visual conversations with Google Gemini, commencing on April 7. This innovative feature is designed to enhance user interaction with artificial intelligence, allowing for a more natural and engaging communication experience.

With this new update, users will be able to activate Gemini by simply pressing and holding the side button of their Galaxy S25 devices. This action allows the AI assistant to access a live view of what the user is seeing, facilitating an interactive dialogue that can cater to various needs.

Samsung detailed this transformative capability in a recent press release, highlighting that users can now have a dynamic video conversation with Gemini Live, making the most of the powerful AI technology integrated into their smartphones. By simply pointing their camera at an object, users can receive personalized suggestions, whether they are seeking outfit advice for a special occasion or looking to optimize their home organization using methods inspired by Marie Kondo.

For instance, if you're preparing for a date night and unsure about what to wear, Gemini Live can assist you as a virtual stylist, providing real-time fashion advice without the need to hire a professional. Users can share their screen while browsing online retailers, further enhancing the shopping experience with tailored recommendations that suit their personal style.

This feature turns the Galaxy S25 into an invaluable companion, especially during moments when friends might not be available to lend a hand. “With this new visual capability, the Galaxy S25 series brings next-generation AI experiences to life, setting new standards for how users engage with the world through their devices,” stated Jay Kim, executive vice president at Samsung, during the announcement.

The rollout of this feature is planned to be gradual, and while there are reports of some users already accessing it, others may have to wait a bit longer for the update to reach their devices. Notably, Google has also announced similar capabilities for its Pixel series 9, ensuring that more flagship phone users can benefit from Gemini Live's new video streaming and screen-sharing functionalities.

In addition to the Gemini Live feature announcement, Samsung has begun distributing its highly anticipated One UI 7 software update to select users in Korea. This update, which is around 5.2GB in size, introduces a plethora of new features, improvements, and Galaxy AI enhancements. Users who have been part of the beta testing or have the standard version of Android 15 will be among the first to experience these updates. For those in the United States, the rollout is expected to start on April 10, according to Samsung's official communications.
