Gemini's new video analysis feature is here, but there's more coming (APK teardown)
Ryan Haines / Android Authority
TL;DR The latest version of the Google app now allows users to upload up to five minutes of video into Gemini for analysis.
Gemini has supported video analysis through a YouTube integration, but rivals like ChatGPT have offered the option to upload videos directly to the AI assistant, so Gemini is finally catching up.
Additionally, a future update will let users directly record videos within the app, expanding current photo-only capture, as spotted through our APK teardown.
Google has been steadily adding features to Gemini to help it compete better against other AI-based digital assistants. ChatGPT already allows users to upload videos for analysis, but Gemini lacks this handy feature. We've long spotted that the ability to analyze videos is coming to Gemini, and we even presented an early demo. With Google app v16.23.69, Google is finally rolling out the ability to upload videos to Gemini for analysis.

An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.
Videos up to five minutes long (combined) can be attached, which should suffice for most casual use cases.
If you need to analyze a longer video, you can upload it onto YouTube as an unlisted video and then paste the link in Gemini to analyze it as a YouTube video.
This feature is gradually rolling out to users, so you may need to wait to see it on your end. To check if you have the feature live, you can click on the Plus button in the Gemini text box, select Gallery or Files, and see if you can select any video files. If video files are grayed out and cannot be uploaded, you don't have the feature available to you just yet.
While the video analysis feature is great, it doesn't integrate with the Camera option, which is visible in the attachment sheet. As a result, while you can click a photo from within Gemini to attach it to a prompt, you cannot record a video. Google is aware of this limitation, as code within this app version fixes this oversight. We managed to activate the feature to give you an early look at it:

As you can see, Gemini's camera viewfinder will soon allow users to easily switch between clicking photos and recording videos to attach to their prompt. Here's a video demo of the upcoming feature in action:
This video upgrade to the camera viewfinder within Gemini is not currently available to users. Expanding the feature to cover videos makes sense for Gemini, so we hope to see it rolled out soon. We'll keep you updated when we learn more.

Why This Analyst Thinks Marvell Stock Is Headed for $130 After Custom AI Event
Marvell (MRVL) shares are up nearly 7% at the time of writing after a JPMorgan analyst issued a positive note in their favor following the company's Custom AI investor event on Tuesday. Analyst Harlan Sur reiterated his 'Overweight' rating on the semiconductor giant this morning, saying its shares could climb further to as much as $130 over the next 12 months. Trump Is Giving Tesla's Robotaxis a Leg Up Ahead of June 22. Should You Buy TSLA Stock Now? Dear Nvidia Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for July 16 The Trump Family Is Betting Big on Mobile Phones. Should Apple Stock Investors Be Worried? Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Sur's bullish call on Marvell stock is significant given it's already up nearly 60% versus its year-to-date low set in early April. JPMorgan recommends sticking to MRVL shares despite their cosmic run over the past two months primarily because it outlined a 'compelling and sustainable growth strategy for its AI datacenter networking and ASIC business' at the investor event. Marvell now has contract wins for 18 multi-generation chip slots, which could help boost its share of the AI ASIC market to 20% over the next three years, Harlan Sur told clients in a research note today. He remains positive on the semiconductor stock because its management is investing aggressively (more than $2 billion per year on R&D) to drive innovation and keep its technology ahead of the competition. Investors should also note that the risk-reward profile on Marvell stock, despite its recent rally, remains rather compelling. Shares are currently trading at a price-sales multiple of 10.55x only. In comparison, other leading semiconductor stocks like Nvidia (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO) are going for well over 20 times each at writing. MRVL shares are worth owning at current levels also because the company has partnered with Empower Semiconductor on integrated power solutions for its custom silicon platforms. This strategic partnership strengthens Marvell's position in next-gen XPUs, which may eventually improve its appeal to hyperscalers. Note that JPM is not alone in keeping bullish on Marvell stock following its AI event on Tuesday. The consensus rating on MRVL shares remain at 'Strong Buy' with the mean target of about $91 indicating potential upside of another 20% from current levels.
