Google’s Pixel phones may soon borrow a trick from Samsung’s Now Bar

Google might be working on its own version of Samsung’s Now Bar, according to new details spotted in the latest Android 16 beta. The feature, called “Gemini Space,” could be a major step forward for Google’s At a Glance widget, offering more real-time information on the lock screen.
As reported based on findings through a deep dive of the underlying code, traces of this new experience first appeared in last month’s Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1 release. A new system configuration file named “Ambient Data” was added, which appears to be the internal codename for Gemini Space. That file was found in firmware for both the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 8 Pro, suggesting the feature won’t be limited to the upcoming Pixel 10.

Other clues point to an “Ambience Hub,” though it’s not clear how it will work. The name suggests a new interface for showing useful data on the lock screen or always-on display. This would align with other Google features that use “ambient” in their name, such as ambient display or ambient AOD.

More interestingly, the Android System Intelligence app — which powers the current At a Glance widget — now includes hints about sports scores and finance updates. A toggle for finance recaps was even found in the At a Glance settings, further supporting the idea that these updates could appear as part of Gemini Space.

All signs point to Google preparing a rebranded and upgraded version of At a Glance. If true, Gemini Space would serve a similar purpose to Samsung’s Now Bar and Now Brief — the former being a live info chip on the lock screen, and the latter offering a full-page summary of your day.

While some may say that At a Glance already covers this, Pixel phones don’t have anything quite like the Now Brief: a dedicated, rich feed of contextual updates accessible right from the lock screen. That could change if Gemini Space and the rumored Ambience Hub roll out as expected.

Whether this will be a Pixel 10 exclusive or come to older models remains to be seen, but the feature looks like a natural evolution of At a Glance — and perhaps a strategic way to keep Gemini AI front and center.
