Gemini Live Camera coming to all Android phones

    Google bringing Gemini camera and screen share to all Android phones soon. Previously, this feature was exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series, available only through a 6-month Gemini Advance Subscription. However, the company has now decided to remove the subscription barrier, allowing anyone with an Android device to access this feature.

    Initially, Samsung’s Galaxy phones will be the first to benefit from the free access, with other devices expected to follow in due course. The Gemini AI assistant’s “Astra” feature, which powers this live camera functionality, allows users to share their live camera feed with Gemini. This enables the assistant to “see” what the user is looking at in real-time.

    For instance, users can point their camera at an object and ask Gemini to find details about it or describe the surroundings. This feature previously required a subscription to Gemini Advance on other Android phones, but Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series has had it built into the system as part of the free 6-month subscription.

    The rollout of Gemini Live Camera will begin with Samsung’s latest flagship models, so owners of these devices can download the free app from the Play Store and start using the feature without any subscription. The functionality requires screen sharing and overlay permissions, enabling Gemini to access the camera view and provide real-time assistance.

    One significant advantage of this feature is its ability to search the internet and provide relevant results based on what the camera sees. Unlike Google Lens, which requires users to take a picture first, Gemini’s Live Camera can instantly identify objects or translate text, such as a billboard, in seconds.

    The feature is compatible with Android devices running version 10 or above and can be accessed through the Gemini app on the Play Store. While the rollout is gradual, it is expected to reach more devices in the coming weeks, although it may take some time before it becomes available in regions like Pakistan.
