This feels like a hack, but it’s the perfect way to practise perfection for your upcoming gaming competition, or just to beat a hard game in general. The Samsung Galaxy Z Series comes with several iconic Galaxy AI features. But one of the more subdued yet potentially controversial features is Circle to Search with Google, and is literally a real-time gaming coach for you in-game.
Also, with Gemini Live, you can perform seamless actions across apps, pulling up Gemini Live and figuring out how to complete that difficult level and enhancing your gaming experience.

Why Gemini + Galaxy Z = Gaming Gold
You're deep into an RPG, stuck at a boss fight, and instead of Alt-tabbing or grabbing another device, you simply pause your game, or switch to your browser app. But with the Samsung Galaxy Z Series, they become a comfortable screen to multitask.
Because Galaxy Z phones are well-integrated with Circle to Search, you get a very fast AI-powered assistant right on your phone.
Rather than switching to your browser window, simply long press on the home button or navigation bar to activate Circle to Search, then circle or tap to see an AI Overview with information about what's on your screen, including suggested videos to help you navigate your game.
It becomes your gaming companion that can research strategies, explain game mechanics, and even help you optimize your device settings without missing a beat.
Additionally, Galaxy Z Fold7’s bigger 8-inch inner screen also comes in handy as you can use the Multi Window feature to open several apps at once without closing any of them.
Scenarios: Smart Gaming Setup with Gemini
Multi-App Gaming Mastery:
Galaxy AI’s integration with Google Gemini allows for multi-app control that enables you to perform seamless actions across apps on your Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7, or Z Flip7 FE. As your phone's digital assistant, Gemini can search the web for whatever you need and then even run tasks across apps for you.
Imagine you want to pull up a game guide on one half of your Fold's screen while you continue playing on the other half, or you want to save a part of a guide and paste it into your notes. Yeah, do all that easily with just a simple voice command: “Arrange my app windows for me, with browser on the left” or “Save this and put it in my notes”. Galaxy AI will ensure it’s all done right away.
Real-Time Strategy Helper:
Stuck in a boss fight in Genshin Impact? Maybe you need to switch characters for the right combo to feat the level? Instead of spending an hour watching several Youtube guides, just ask Gemini to research the solution while you're still in-game. It can provide contextual help without you needing to leave your game session.
Performance Optimization:
Gemini can help you adjust settings for optimal performance. Ask it to explain which graphics settings to prioritize for your specific games, or how to balance battery life with performance. It might even suggest turning off several apps that are power-hungry in the background.
