Google’s Gemini Space Could Bring a New Lock Screen Experience to Pixel Phones

Google is developing a new feature called Gemini Space for its Pixel smartphones, expected to debut with the upcoming Pixel 10 series. This feature may serve as an enhanced version of the At a Glance widget, offering additional information such as finance summaries and sports scores.

Gemini Space could function similarly to Samsung’s Now Bar and Now Brief, providing a full-screen, contextual overview of the day directly from the lock screen. While At a Glance currently shows limited updates, Gemini Space aims to deliver a more comprehensive interface, possibly using components named “Ambient Data” and “Ambience Hub” found in recent Android 16 beta releases.

Evidence for Gemini Space comes from system files and code in the Android System Intelligence app, hinting at new toggles for finance recap and sports score updates. The feature appears to be supported on current Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro devices, suggesting a rollout beyond just the Pixel 10.

Google’s focus on integrating its Gemini AI into Pixel hardware positions this feature as part of its broader strategy to compete with rivals like OpenAI. Gemini Space may also complement other rumored capabilities such as Magic Cue, although its exact relationship remains unclear.

The Pixel 10 series, expected to launch at Google’s Made by Google event in August, will likely showcase Gemini Space. Until then, details remain limited, but the feature promises a more dynamic and informative lock screen for Pixel users.
