Samsung Brings Google's Gemini AI to Galaxy Watch and Buds3
Samsung has recently introduced Google's Gemini AI to the Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Buds3, expanding the AI capabilities within its device ecosystem. This move aims to provide a seamless experience for Samsung users across various devices like the Galaxy A, S24, and S25 handsets. Gemini AI is deeply integrated with Android XR and is expected to be featured on Samsung's upcoming Project Moohan VR headset.
Enhanced User Experience
According to Samsung's press release, this update will extend AI functionalities throughout the entire Galaxy ecosystem, offering users a more cohesive and intelligent experience. With Gemini AI on your wrist, you can easily make natural language requests such as setting reminders or summarizing emails.
Seamless Integration
Utilizing Gemini AI via Galaxy Buds3 enables even more seamless interactions. Users can activate Gemini using voice commands or pinch and hold controls on their smartphone. For instance, you can ask for the weather while getting ready for a run, and your Buds3 will facilitate the request to Gemini on your phone, all hands-free.
Context-Aware Assistance
Having Gemini AI on wearable devices like smartwatches and earbuds enhances Samsung's assistant to be more context-aware. Users can make location or activity-based requests, enabling features like real-time translation or smart noise control based on the surroundings.
Battery Efficiency and Ecosystem Lock-In
While running AI on smaller devices may impact battery life, Samsung is likely to implement cloud-based solutions initially. This approach also aligns with creating a Google-centric ecosystem, similar to Apple's strategy, to offer a consistent AI experience across devices.
By leveraging a unified AI system across compatible devices, Samsung aims to provide a seamless and integrated user experience.
