Gemini in Chrome for Android is slated for release at the end of June, and Google has tweaked the UI (from early testing) with a rounded design. The design of the input field now matches the version showcased in Google’s official announcement from May.

This was spotted by @Leopeva64 on X, and side-by-side comparisons show the difference between the older, multi-tab capable rectangular box and the new one with rounded corners. The images below show the difference.

It’s worth noting that the feature can’t even be accessed through Chrome Canary, and the tipster likely enabled it with hidden flags to showcase the development progression.

Gemini on Chrome is supposed to slide up from the bottom of the screen to let users ask questions about the current webpage, request summaries, or perform other tasks without leaving the browser. You can see how it works from the video below.

It was officially announced in May. Powered by Gemini 3.1, you can directly add events to your Calendar with it, or pull information from your Gmail directly into the browser. There’s also a new feature called “auto browser,” though it’s limited to Gemini subscribers in the US.

The Gemini button in the bottom bar will make its way to the public by the end of June. The initial rollout is only for select regions, so it’s phased, and not everyone will get it at the same time. Your device must have at least 4GB of RAM, and the language must be set to English: United States. It also requires Android 12 or newer.

Country support.

This latest tweak indicates that Google is finalizing details of this feature ahead of the stable release.

In other Chrome news, Google will soon let you remove the Bookmarks bar from the New Tab page. We covered that here.
