Google has announced that its AI-powered assistant, Gemini, will soon be available on more devices, including tablets, smartwatches, headphones, and Android-based in-car infotainment systems. CEO Sundar Pichai revealed during the company’s Q1 2025 earnings call that the tech giant is working on replacing Google Assistant with Gemini on mobile devices, with plans to extend this to other platforms after it becomes the default on compatible smartphones.
In a recent blog post, Google shared that it has integrated Gemini models across its 15 platform-based products, reaching half a billion users. The transition began last year, with Gemini becoming the default assistant on select new Android devices. Now, Google plans to bring the Gemini upgrade to older devices as well.
Later this year, Google will shift its focus to non-mobile devices, including tablets, smartwatches, headphones, and the Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS), with Gemini becoming the default assistant across these platforms. This shift marks the eventual phase-out of Google Assistant, though Pichai did not specify which devices will receive Gemini or when the updates will roll out.
Additionally, Pichai revealed that the Gemini Live with Camera and Screen Sharing feature, which was previously available only on select Pixel and Samsung Galaxy devices, will now be expanded to all Android devices. However, access to this feature still requires a Gemini Advanced subscription.
Pichai also highlighted the company’s growing AI infrastructure, mentioning the beta release of Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash models, with stable versions expected soon. The company is also focusing on developing Gemini Robotics models for future use.
