Bar resurrects some of the best parts of Google Now, but it feels far more instinctive on the Galaxy S25 series.

Google is giving one of the Samsung Galaxy S25 's new AI tools to its own Pixel 9 phones as well as last year's Galaxy S24 series, allowing more users to try out Gemini's Talk Live shortcut.

The two tech giants are entering the race to create a pair of augmented reality glasses, competing with Apple and Meta.
