Google Brings Gemini Live Update With Real-Time Camera Search: What Is It And How It Works
Google Gemini AI Live camera access is finally here but only if you have these Android smartphones or use the Gemini Advanced plan with your Google account.
Google has rolled out a significant feature to its AI model called Gemini Live, which is a real-time AI assistant with camera and screen sharing capabilities. The new update allows users to point their phone’s camera at the objects around them and ask questions in real time. To use the new Gemini Live feature you need the latest Pixel 9 phones (including the 9 Pro Fold) or the Samsung Galaxy S25 models.
The free update will also be available on other Android devices soon, but you will need a paid Gemini Advanced plan to try out the new abilities on Gemini Live.

Gemini’s conversational mode has only supported voice, image, PDF, and YouTube video input. “Gemini Live lets you have natural, free-flowing conversations with Gemini in over 45 different languages, including Arabic," said Google.
How To Use Gemini Live Camera Tool On Pixel 9 Phone
You can easily activate Gemini on your Android by using these steps:
- Press and hold the power button to start Gemini on the screen
- Tap on the Live button
- Select Camera or Screen sharing to give the phone’s camera live access
Google says you can allow Gemini to be your organisational partner and get real-time suggestions and visual support when cleaning. The screen sharing lets you get work done as the real-time camera can help you answer queries from the AI bot to share some creative ideas for designs, creative writing, or even crafts.
It goes further as Gemini Live’s camera input, can show what you’re viewing in real time and receive immediate feedback while working. Simply aim your camera toward the issue and ask Gemini to come up with a solution. These Gemini additions and Live access will be Apple’s envy which continues to struggle with Siri that is now further delayed till 2026, while Amazon’s Alexa AI version is yet to fully release even after its actual launch date in March.
