Samsung's Galaxy A56, A36, and A26 will make it easier to invoke Gemini

Samsung's AI-ification continues. The company has announced that Galaxy A series mid-rangers will soon get the option to invoke Google's Gemini AI assistant through the power button, by pressing and holding it.

This will be offered on the Galaxy A56, Galaxy A36, and Galaxy A26. The feature was seen before on Galaxy S series flagships. It will be available through a software update that will be rolling out to the aforementioned trio of Galaxy A devices starting in early May (thus we assume it's the same update that will bring the May security patches).

Jay Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience Office, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, said:

Samsung and Google have been working together to deliver seamless, intuitive and meaningful AI experiences, making the latest technology more accessible for more users. We’re excited that Galaxy A series users will now be able to activate Gemini faster and more naturally through a simple gesture that brings intelligent support into the flow of daily tasks.
