TL;DR Gemini is finally available on older Z Flip cover screens, as we can now use it on our Galaxy Z Flip 6.
The only missing feature is screen sharing, while features like Gemini Live work perfectly.
The power button can’t summon Gemini yet, but you can use Good Lock or your voice.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE finally brought Google Gemini to Samsung’s cover screens, something that had been painfully absent from older models. The Z Flip 5 and 6 share the 7 FE’s cover screen, so we hoped that updates would bring Gemini to those phones, too. That hope has finally become a reality, with our Z Flip 6 finally gaining Gemini access on the cover screen.

To use Gemini on the cover screen, you’ll have to use the “Hey Google,” wake-up command or add the app to Good Lock’s launcher widget.
Unfortunately, long-pressing the power button still prompts you to “open phone to continue,” which makes summoning Gemini less convenient than we’d like. Hopefully, that will change with future updates.
