google's gemini live will soon offer support for 40+ languages

Google’s AI chatbot, Gemini Live, is about to gain support for more than 40 languages. Over the next few weeks, the company will release an update expanding the generative AI assistant’s language capabilities.

Gemini Live is Google’s approach to “free-flowing, natural conversations” in the world of generative AI. You can use it for tasks like brainstorming event ideas, exploring new learning paths, or preparing for job interviews with real-time feedback. While Google describes the chatbot as being like talking with a friend, how many people would truly use it that way remains to be seen.

The update also enables users to switch between two languages on the same device. This feature will be integrated across other Google services such as Calendar, Tasks, Keep, and Utilities. You can set your language preferences within the Android app by navigating to Settings > Google Assistant > Languages, where you can select your primary and secondary languages.

samsung smart glasses teased for january software reveal imminent

Samsung appears poised to introduce its highly anticipated smart glasses in January 2025, alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25. According to sources in Korea, the company will first reveal the accompanying software platform later this month.

As per a report from Yonhap News, Samsung’s unveiling strategy for the smart glasses echoes its approach with the Galaxy Ring earlier this year. The January showcase won’t constitute a full product launch but will likely feature teaser visuals at the Galaxy S25 event. A more detailed rollout could follow in subsequent months.

Just in: Samsung is set to unveil a prototype of its augmented reality (AR) glasses, currently in development, during the Galaxy S25 Unpacked event early next year, likely in the form of videos or images.

The Galaxy Ring, for example, debuted in January via a short presentation during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The full product unveiling came later at MWC in February, and the final release followed in July. Samsung seems to be adopting a similar phased approach with its smart glasses, which are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2025.

A Collaborative Software Effort

Samsung’s partnership with Google has played a key role in developing the smart glasses’ software. This collaboration was first announced in February 2023, with the device set to run on an Android-based platform. In July, the companies reiterated their plans to deliver an extended reality (XR) platform by the end of the year. The software specifics for the XR device are expected to be unveiled before the end of December.

Reports suggest that the smart glasses will resemble Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in functionality. They won’t include a display but will weigh approximately 50 grams, emphasizing a lightweight, user-friendly design.

Feature Set And Compatibility

The glasses are rumored to integrate Google’s Gemini technology, alongside features like gesture recognition and potential payment capabilities. Samsung aims to create a seamless user experience by integrating the glasses with its broader Galaxy ecosystem, starting with the Galaxy S25, slated for release on January 22.
