The latest Google app teardown indicates that Samsung phones will soon allow users to invoke Google's Gemini assistant by long-pressing the power button, integrating it alongside Bixby.
Samsung has historically prioritized Bixby, but the addition of Gemini suggests a strategic shift as they begin to offer Google Assistant as a more integral feature on their devices.
The code reveals that Samsung's Side button will become a gateway for interacting with Gemini, indicating a customized integration specifically designed for Samsung users.
Although it's not yet clear when this feature will launch, the upcoming One UI 7 beta based on Android 15 is a likely candidate for the introduction of Gemini.
