Google's Gemini Live AI assistant has started rolling out on Samsung smartphones, ahead of its release on the Pixel 9 series. Initially available to Gemini paid subscribers, Gemini Live allows for continued conversations where users can interrupt and later resume topics. Currently, it supports only English, though Google plans to add more languages in the coming months. The AI assistant is not yet integrated with other Google services like Calendar, Drive, Gmail, Keep, YouTube, and YouTube Music, which Google aims to incorporate in the future.

Upon activation, users will see a waveform badge with a small spark icon on the screen's bottom right, explaining how to use the feature. It offers a simple interface that occupies the entire screen but still shows other background applications. Users can choose from ten different voice options and toggle the "interrupt real-time response" feature in the settings.
