Report Points to Samsung Foldables as First to Get Google’s Gemini Intelligence

Google has only confirmed a summer rollout to Pixel plus Galaxy models.

Overview

  • A Korean report, relayed by 9to5Google, GSMArena, and Android Headlines, says Gemini Intelligence will debut on Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 within One UI 9 based on Android 17.
  • Samsung has begun testing One UI 9, with the new foldables expected at an Unpacked event in July.
  • Google has said the features start reaching Pixel and Galaxy this summer, which suggests a short Samsung-first window before a wider release.
  • Gemini Intelligence adds a task view that shows when it is working, smarter autofill that pulls from your Google apps, Gboard’s Rambler that cleans up speech as you talk, and a tool to make home screen widgets from a text prompt.
  • Reporters note Google often lets Samsung ship new Android features first, and the same tools usually roll out to Pixels and then other Android phones soon after.
