This New Gemini Feature Won’t Be Available On Samsung Galaxy Devices 😕

[PenGossiper]

Google has enhanced its TalkBack feature with AI-powered image description capabilities, but this feature is not compatible with Samsung Galaxy smartphones.

TalkBack is a pre-installed screen reader application available on most Android devices, except for Samsung Galaxy devices running One UI skin. Google is introducing a new feature that provides AI-powered image descriptions.

Samsung Galaxy devices lack this feature because Samsung offers its own dedicated accessibility tools, including a custom TalkBack service. Google allows device manufacturers to skip pre-installing the Android Accessibility Suite if they provide alternative accessibility tools that meet specific standards.

Whilst this might be an issue for some hopefully Samsung will provide a comparable service in the near future,may use a different AI model though.

I think Samsung should start working on an exclusive model for their devices. I trust #Samsung very much, and nothing can keep me away from using their devices, especially smartphones.
