At Galaxy Unpacked, Google announced a handful of Gemini updates for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Fold 8, and Flip 8.
On the Android front, these new devices feature the upgraded “native migration experience” that allows you to “transfer even more data types from an iPhone wirelessly.” Part of Android 17, this includes your Google Account, passwords, Wi-Fi credentials, and eSIM. That is in addition to existing data types: photos, videos, contacts, messages, and calendar. This is also rolling out to Pixel and coming to more Android devices after that.
When Gemini task automation launched in beta earlier this year, only six rideshare and delivery apps were supported across the Pixel 10 and Galaxy S26 series.
As part of Gemini Intelligence, task automation now supports over 40 apps across shopping, restaurant reservations, travel booking, and event tickets. This includes Etsy and Expedia. Additionally, the Flip 8 lets you access this daily life assistance on the Flex Window when you long-press the power button.
Meanwhile, the Gemini app can “now use advanced reasoning to understand what is on your screen and parse complex images as prompts.”
