One of the most important changes in Samsung’s new phones is a simple one: when you long-press the side button on your phone, instead of activating Samsung’s own Bixby assistant by default, you’ll get Google Gemini .

Google is introducing a slew of Android updates, including key updates to its AI assistant, Gemini. Users can now access an improved Gemini that can perform multiple actions across different apps with just a single prompt.

It's becoming more and more clear that you simply cannot launch a new smartphone these days without paying loads of attention to the included AI assistant. This is as true as ever with today's launch of the Galaxy S25 series,

With today’s update, Gemini is able to carry out more complex multimodal tasks. You might ask it to find a dog-friendly Italian restaurant and send it to your friend, or pull up your NFL team’s upcoming games and add them to your calendar, all in a single prompt.

Samsung is including 6 free months of Gemini Advanced benefits and 2TB of cloud storage with every Galaxy S25 purchase.

Get access to not just six months of Gemini Advanced, but also 2TB of Google cloud storage when you pre-order a new Galaxy S25.
