Samsung unpacked: Samsung’s Galaxy S25 comes with a better Google Gemini

At Samsung’s Unpacked 2025 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 important updates to its AI assistant, Gemini.

Starting Wednesday, users can access an improved Gemini that integrates with apps and services across a device. In a single prompt, you can ask the AI ​​to perform multiple actions across different apps. 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 write a message to send via Google Messages.

The company also launched new Gemini extensions for Samsung Calendar, Samsung Clock, Samsung Notes and Samsung Reminder.

In addition, Samsung introduced new features for Gemini Live, Google’s voice-based feature that offers a conversational experience. For example, you can practice an important presentation with the assistant and get instant spoken feedback. Users can also upload images, files and even YouTube videos to the conversation, making Gemini Live more multi-modal and context-aware.

In the coming months, Samsung will launch Project Astra capabilities, which is Google’s real-time multimodal AI assistant. The new additions include screen sharing and live video streaming. These appear first on the Gemini app on Android and then the Galaxy S25 line.

The notifications come along with a new side button for the Galaxy S25 series that allows you to quickly access Gemini. With a single tap, you can ask the AI ​​to perform tasks such as setting a reminder, saving a note or telling you about an upcoming meeting.

You can pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S25 series on Wednesday. It will begin shipping on February 7th.
