You still get core features like voice and text input, Gemini Live, and the ability to share your camera feed. Screen sharing, however, is missing. Android Authority also points out that long-pressing the power button simply prompts you to open the phone instead of launching Gemini, which adds to the inconvenience.<\/p>\n<p>The update appears to be tied to Samsung\u2019s One UI 8 rollout over the past few days. For older Z Flip owners, it\u2019s finally a chance to tap into Gemini\u2019s AI features \u2014 quirks and all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cover screens on older Samsung Galaxy Z Flip models are finally getting access to Google Gemini.
