According to Android Authority, a simple ‘Hey Google’ command or integration with Samsung Good Lock’s launcher widget allows users to access Gemini on their Galaxy Z Flip 6 without opening the phone. While a long press of the power button may not work as expected, this update provides convenient access to Gemini features on older devices.
All Gemini functionalities, except for screen sharing, are now available without the need to unfold the phone, enhancing the user experience on older Galaxy Flip models.
This update aligns with Samsung’s recent efforts to improve software updates, as seen with the rollout of One UI 8 and Android 16 updates to older devices like the Samsung Galaxy S23 range, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ tablet.
