Users will be able to use text, images, and videos as a reference to generate music.

Google’s Gemini has become even more powerful. Until now, it could generate text, images, videos, and code. With the latest update, Gemini can now create full songs, including lyrics and music, and even design album art. All it takes is a text or image prompt, and Gemini turns it into a complete track.

This new feature is powered by Google DeepMind’s Lyria 3, a text-to-audio AI model. Earlier versions of Lyria could only make short instrumental clips or experimental music.

Now, Gemini can create 30-second songs that sound like real music, with layered instruments and melodies. It can also generate lyrics, so each track is a complete musical piece.

Also, Google has made sure that copyright issues are avoided. Each AI-generated track comes with a hidden SynthID to show it was created by AI. The songs are checked against existing music to prevent copying. The company also says that it trained Gemini without copying artists’ work.

The new music feature is available in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. It works for both free and paid Gemini users, although available credits depend on the subscription. The feature is also coming to Dream Track for YouTube Shorts to make it easier for creators to make music quickly.

Google I/O 2026 is official; keynotes are set for May 19 and 20 and Samsung fans typically watch from the sidelines.

For years, I/O has felt like a Pixel-first show. Google builds it, Pixel debuts it, and everyone else adapts later. Galaxy users get the features, but not the spotlight; meanwhile, this year feels different.

The reason is simple: AI, XR, and deeper platform control. All three directly affect One UI, Galaxy AI, and Samsung’s next hardware cycle. If you own a Galaxy device, this keynote is not just background noise; it is early intel.

Android 17

Google pushed the first Android 17 Beta on February 13. As expected, it tweaks system defaults, improves navigation behavior across foldables and slabs, refines color profiles, and adds smarter device pairing.

The bigger narrative is design direction. Rumors suggest Android 17 may experiment with a more “liquid glass” aesthetic. Think softer layers, more depth, more translucency. Google rarely lands a final look in Beta form.

One UI historically absorbs Google’s visual cues and reshapes them with Samsung’s own design language. Expect the One UI 9 to take whatever Android 17 experiments with and refine it for Galaxy foldable phones.

Gemini

At I/O 2026, Gemini will dominate the stage. Expect tighter integration across apps, Chrome, and possibly even more cross-device continuity.

If Google announces expanded Gemini APIs or new on-device AI capabilities, the Galaxy S26 series could be first in line to take advantage. If Gemini becomes more context-aware across apps, Samsung can localize that experience inside One UI.

Gemini integrating with Apple’s ecosystem this year shows Google is platform-agnostic when it wants to be. Expect Samsung to further differentiate Galaxy AI, even if Gemini powers part of it.

XR

Google will likely provide updates on Android XR.

I/O 2026 kicks off at 10 a.m. PST on May 19 at Shoreline. The keynote will be livestreamed, talking about AI, Android, Chrome, and cloud initiatives. For the Samsung fans, this is not just Google’s show, but a preview of the next upgrade cycle.
