As Android users eagerly await the new Gemini app redesign to reach their smartphones, an APK teardown ahead of the official rollout has revealed that Gemini’s new avatar will probably feature the familiar Google colors.
Specifically, Gemini might soon adopt Google’s iconic brand colors – red, blue, green, and yellow – for its logo, as well as the reshaped overlay and suggestion chips, according to a report by Authority Insights published by Android Authority on June 30.
What Gemini app redesign includes
As the researchers noted, the current rounded rectangles will disappear, and a new pill-shaped design for the overlay and suggestion chips will take over in the latest beta build of the Google app (version 16.25.44.sa.arm.64). Also gone is the circular background for the microphone button.
Furthermore, the new design will feature the bar that now allows users to swipe up to open the full-screen Gemini experience, and the revamped Gemini logo with Google’s brand colors displaying more prominently across the app. That said, there’s no information on when these changes will go live for end users.
Meanwhile, an earlier update has enabled users to access Google’s Gemini generative AI – the flash model Gemini 2.0 Flash – without actually having a Google account. There are some limitations, like the lack of support for file upload, image generation, or chat history, but it’s a big deal for privacy nonetheless.
Elsewhere, Gemini in Android Studio has received multimodal image support, allowing the AI model to understand simple wireframes and transform them into working Jetpack Compose code, and now including an image attachment icon in the chat window, enabling developers to attach JPEG or PNG files to prompts.
Elsewhere, Gemini isn’t just useful for writing, editing, and correcting code. As it happens, Google DeepMind has also introduced a new platform for building robots called Gemini Robotics, which is based on Gemini 2.0 and is an advanced vision-language-action (VLA) model.
