OMG, you guys! 🌟 Last year, Google dropped Project Astra like it was hot—a multi-modal AI enhancement that’s basically giving your smartphone’s camera superpowers to understand the world! And guess what? This game-changing tech is rolling out to WAY more Android phones than anyone expected! 🎉 According to a Google support article spotted by 9to5Google, sharing your camera or screen with Gemini Live (the heart of Project Astra) will work on ‘any Android device with Gemini Advanced’. That’s right, no more FOMO for non-Pixel or Galaxy users! �
But hold up—there’s a tiny catch. 🎣 To unlock these next-level features, you’ll need a Gemini Advanced subscription. It’s priced at $19.99 / £18.99 / AU$32.99 a month, but hey, totally worth it for the future, right? The rollout’s starting now, but it’s a slow burn, so don’t panic if you don’t see it yet. Even the TechRadar crew is waiting with bated breath! 😅
Gemini Live is not your average chat mode—it’s like talking to a super-smart, super-patient friend who gets you. 🗣️💬 With the upcoming upgrade, it’ll even peek through your camera or screen to help you out with anything you’re looking at. Early demos? Mind. Blown. 🤯 It can recognize objects, remember places, and even solve math problems on the fly. Math! Who even does that anymore? 😂
And here’s the kicker: you can try out Gemini Live’s basic features right now, no subscription needed! Just tap that sound wave icon in the Gemini app on Android or iOS. So, what are you waiting for? Dive into the future! �
