Gemini’s Foldable-First Features Reshape Android Experience
Google has released a major Gemini upgrade specifically designed for Samsung’s latest foldable devices. The update brings AI features that actually make sense for these weird bendy phones—instead of just slapping on generic AI and calling it a day.
Galaxy Z Flip7 users can now access Gemini Live from the external screen without even opening their device. Pretty convenient, right?
Gemini Live now works on the Z Flip7’s cover screen—no unfolding necessary. Efficiency finally meets convenience.
The most interesting stuff happens in Flex Mode. Set your Flip7 half-open like a tiny laptop, and suddenly Gemini can see what you’re doing through the camera while giving you feedback.
Need fashion advice? DIY help? Just prop up your phone and ask. The AI doesn’t just answer questions anymore—it sticks around, watching and helping with whatever you’re doing. It’s like having a slightly nosy assistant who won’t leave.
Screen sharing on the Galaxy Z Fold7 takes multitasking to another level. Shopping online? Share your screen with Gemini and get instant advice without switching apps.
The Flip7’s camera sharing in FlexWindow mode gives you quick AI feedback without unfolding the whole device. Set it on a table, and boom—hands-free AI help while you’re busy doing actual stuff.
The integration goes deeper. Gemini now works with both Google apps (Calendar, Tasks, Maps) and Samsung’s own offerings (Calendar, Reminder, Notes). These AI-powered features deliver 40% productivity boost compared to traditional digital marketing methods.
Ask about your schedule, add events, manage tasks—all through conversation. It’ll even recognize event posters through the camera. Organization just got easier. Maybe too easy.
Meanwhile, Gemini is expanding beyond foldables to Wear OS devices. The rollout targets Pixel Watch and smartwatches from Samsung, OPPO, OnePlus, and Xiaomi running Wear OS 4+.
The familiar Google Assistant is getting replaced—whether you like it or not.
This Google-Samsung partnership isn’t accidental. Samsung’s foldables serve as the perfect showcase for Google’s AI ambitions, starting with the Galaxy S25 series and now the Z Fold7 and Flip7.
It’s strategic. Competitive. Synergistic. Pick your buzzword.
What’s clear is that Google’s finally making AI that fits how people actually use their devices rather than forcing users to adapt.
For once, the tech is bending to match our lives—just like the phones themselves.
The new Circle to Search upgrade initiates a dialogue with Gemini when you circle items on-screen, allowing for complex topic exploration without the hassle of switching between multiple apps or browser tabs.
The Z Fold 7 offers a dream big-screen foldable experience that truly showcases how Gemini can enhance productivity on larger displays.
