The Galaxy S25 series has been designed to integrate Google Gemini extensively, allowing for significant customization and functionality tailored to user needs. Hereâs how Gemini can be customized to perform specific tasks on the Galaxy S25:
Accessing Gemini
Users can access Google Gemini quickly by long-pressing the side button on the Galaxy S25. This feature replaces the previous activation method for Bixby and allows immediate interaction with Gemini, making it more user-friendly compared to older models where users had to use voice commands or open the app manually[1][2][5].Multi-Extension Capabilities
Gemini on the Galaxy S25 supports multi-extension prompts. This means users can issue commands that span multiple applications in a single request. For example, a user could ask Gemini to find nearby restaurants and send the details via text message, utilizing both Google Maps and Google Messages seamlessly[3][6]. This capability enhances productivity by allowing users to accomplish more with fewer commands.Integration with Samsung Apps
Gemini has been specifically enhanced to work with Samsung's native applications, including Samsung Calendar, Notes, Reminders, and Clock. Users can easily create reminders or save notes directly from their queries, such as asking for lunch ideas and saving them to Samsung Notes in one go[4][6].Gemini Live Feature
The Gemini Live feature allows users to engage in real-time conversations about images, files, or videos. For instance, users can discuss a YouTube video while interacting with Gemini, which can analyze content and provide insights or suggestions based on what is being viewed[4][5].Customization Options
While the default setting for the side button is to launch Gemini, users have the option to customize this button to access other assistants if they prefer. However, the streamlined access to Gemini is designed to encourage its use as a primary assistant on the device[1][5].Future Enhancements
Looking ahead, features like Project Astra are expected to enhance Gemini's capabilities further, allowing for more interactive experiences such as screen sharing and live video streaming within conversations[2][4].In summary, the Galaxy S25 allows for a high degree of customization with Google Gemini, enabling users to perform specific tasks efficiently across various applications through voice commands and multi-app interactions.
