One of the most useful features Samsung’s smartphones offer is that they allow you to access Google’s Gemini (or other GenAI assistants) by just pressing and holding the power/side button. Now, Google is upgrading Gemini by releasing stable versions of two of its large language models, 2.5 Pro and 2.5 Flash, and making them generally available (GA).

The stable versions offer no performance improvements compared to the last preview versions. However, now, when you are using them, you will not see the ‘Preview’ tag beside them. Google has also introduced the preview version of Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite. According to the brand, this is their “most cost-efficient and fastest 2.5 model yet.”

It further adds “2.5 Flash-Lite has all-around higher quality than 2.0 Flash-Lite on coding, math, science, reasoning and multimodal benchmarks. It excels at high-volume, latency-sensitive tasks like translation and classification, with lower latency than 2.0 Flash-Lite and 2.0 Flash on a broad sample of prompts. It comes with the same capabilities that make Gemini 2.5 helpful, including the ability to turn thinking on at different budgets, connecting to tools like Google Search and code execution, multimodal input, and a 1 million-token context length.”

At the moment, there’s no information on whether Google is offering these upgrades on Gemini for Android via an update to the app or as a server-side change.
