Google’s new Gemini Intelligence will only be available on a handful of the best current Android flagships for now
Key Points:
- Google has introduced Gemini Intelligence, a sophisticated AI feature that can autonomously perform multi-step tasks, including sourcing information and interacting with apps and websites in the background.
- A new "Rambler" component for Gboard allows users to speak naturally with filler words and mixed languages, enhancing conversational flexibility.
- Gemini Intelligence is expected to debut on Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Flip8, with the Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10 series receiving it this summer.
- The feature requires high-end hardware, including at least 12GB of RAM, support for AICore with Gemini Nano v3 or higher, flagship SOCs, and extensive software support like multiple OS upgrades and security updates.
- Due to these stringent requirements, Gemini Intelligence will be limited to a very exclusive range of devices, potentially excluding some upcoming models like non-Pro Pixel 11 variants with lower RAM.
