Last week, Google began rolling out the Gemini Live feature, formerly known as Project Astra, which allows users to use their smartphone cameras to view images of surrounding objects. Gemini can also identify objects in front of it. This feature is available for Pixel 9 and Galaxy S25 users who are subscribed to Gemini Advanced paid plan.
Today, Google announced that the Gemini Live feature will be available to all Android users for free, as long as they have the Gemini app installed. It is expected to roll out to all Gemini app users in the coming weeks.
Google seems to have a strategy of releasing new features related to Gemini to reach the maximum number of users in a short time. They started with the paid customer group first, then expanded to free customers with features such as Gemini 2.5 Pro.
TLDR: Google has made the Gemini Live feature accessible to all Android users for free through the Gemini app, following its initial rollout to paid subscribers.
