When can we expect the release of Gemini Live for the Samsung S24 Ultra and other Samsung devices?

@userOpjTIkQzeC "The Z6 flip phone has received 6.1.1"

Minor correction, the Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 shipped with 6.1.1.

I have T-Mobile and the 24U. I got the update the day it was released. It will still say 6.1 after the update. Only the foldable will say 6.1.1.

I think the comments are confused on what you're asking.

He hasn't asked about 6.1.1, he asked about googles new Gemini Live feature.

So you got the Gemini Live feature? Which is what he's asking about, but you're talking about 6.1.1....

Since Gemini is a Google feature it all depends on when they decide to update it on your device they normally roll out features slowly

I didn't have the Galaxy AI until I got the 6.1 update earlier this week so 🤷

They changed the name of the setting to Galaxy AI it was still there just a diff. name

This is 6.1.1, right? If so, I don't have Gemini Live 😔

I wish I had a Google Pixel, but I have a Samsung

What Samsung series do you have? And what are your thoughts on the AI features?

Re: Gemini Live

GaryB82 — Fri, 13 Sep 2024 15:37:50 GMT

Thats because Gemini is part of Google and not part of the Samsung Update

Google is slowly rolling it out not everyone will get it at the same time

Indeed, you are correct. While I am a Samsung user, I must acknowledge that Google has made significant advancements with the Pixel 9. In retrospect, I wish I had waited before making my decision.

You can already have access to Gemini Live by downloading the app from Playstore. It's not a pushed out software update to your phone.
Once you download the app, you make Gemini the default instead of Google Assistant. To have Gemini Live, it is a paid subscription of $20 a month for Gemini Advanced.
I got it free for one year with the purchase of my Pixel 9 pro XL. It is pretty amazing. Is it worth $20 a month, debatable.

I have both the Pixel 9 ProXL and the S24U, I like both phones for different reasons. There is no matching Googles calling features. It hands down blows away Samsung's. Hold for me, dial assist for menus. When you call companies, you don't have to go through the whole list before selecting a prompt. Call answering is way better than Samsung.
Smart stuff Google just does it better.

That's where it ends. Ui, I actually prefer Samsung One Ui than Stock Android. You can do much more with Samsung's Ui. Stacked widgets are an under estimated feature, I have one page with widets on my S24u, Pixel I have to have 3.

Hardware, hands down the S24U, better chip, better modem, better screen. Even with the S24U being almost a year old, it blows away the Pixel. If I could have some of the Pixel smarts with Samsung hardware it would be the perfect phone.

No, as of yesterday they are making Gemini Live free for non-paid members also. And you don't have to download Google Gemini app to get it. Gemini is already integrated into the S24. The Google Gemini app on the play store is for non-samsung members who doesn't have it integrated into their phones.

But it's a slow rollout, some of us already have it and some dont.

You have to have the Gemini app on your phone. It is not integrated on your Samsung phone.

It either came installed on my S24 or was part of the recent UI update. I got my S24 a month ago and I thought it asked me when I got it if I wanted to switch to Gemini. It asked me again the other day after using Google assistant to set a timer for me and I ended up switching to Gemini. I have not looked into the features yet. I see since I switched it now shows Galaxy AI below connected devices in settings.
