Not really a great surprise, Google annouced that  most Devices will be upgraded to Gemini by the end of the year,older Devices with limited resources will likely still have access to the Assistant.

Tablets,Cars,Connected Devices and  Home Devices will also be upgraded to Gemini in due course.

I believe Google is helping Apple as well with the Gemini side of things with its lacksture AI offerings.

Will be interesting to see how things pan out and how much will be free and what will be paid for.

Samsung gave a wide range of features to Gemini and it looks like they want to improve it in the next years.

Yeah, Gemini has had major improvements in just the last month I've been using it, I'm guessing all these S25s getting free Gemini upgrades helped it improve it's testing.

Never liked Google Assistant was even worse with its Google Home pucks.
