Google has officially confirmed that the Gemini Live camera and screen sharing features will not be limited to just flagship devices like the Pixel and Galaxy S25 series. Instead, these advanced capabilities are being rolled out broadly across all Android devices equipped with Gemini Advancedensuring more users can access the cutting-edge AI tools.

Gemini Live Expands Beyond Pixel and Galaxy Exclusivity

When Project Astra was introduced earlier this year, it sparked speculation that its most advanced features — including live camera interaction and real-time screen sharing — would be restricted to high-end devices. However, Google’s newly updated support documentation confirms that these features will be available on any Android device running Gemini Advanced.

This inclusion potentially opens up compatibility with foldables, tablets, and older premium devicesdramatically increasing access to Gemini’s most powerful tools.

Gradual Rollout and Feature Limitations

Despite the broader device support, Google emphasizes that the Gemini Live rollout is still gradualmeaning not all users may see the feature immediately.

This behavior is designed to protect user privacy and prevent unintended data exposure.

UI Tweaks and Rollbacks for Beta Users

In , Google has temporarily rolled back the compact fullscreen UI of Gemini Live for most beta users running Google app version 16.12unless they are part of the Astra preview. The interface has reverted to a design with circular action buttonsas Google continues to iterate on the user experience before a full public release.

Gemini Advanced: A Step Toward the Future of AI Interaction

As Gemini Advanced becomes the cornerstone of Google’s AI vision across Android, expanding features like Live camera and screen sharing to a wider device base marks a key milestone. These capabilities enable real-time interaction with the AI using visual inputs and shared on-screen contentbringing users closer to a truly assistive, interactive AI experience.
