Google announced some exciting news for Pixel 8 owners! They’ll be getting access to powerful new features powered by Gemini Nano, a cutting-edge language processing technology.
What is Gemini Nano?
Imagine having a super-smart assistant that can summarize recordings and suggest quick replies to messages. That’s what Gemini Nano can do! It can generate bullet points from voice recordings and create conversation-friendly responses for messages.
Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro: Different Features
There’s a slight difference between the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. The Pixel 8 Pro, with its extra RAM, can use Gemini Nano for smarter replies on more messaging apps like WhatsApp, Line, and KakaoTalk.
Why the Delay?
Earlier, Google mentioned hardware limitations might prevent Pixel 8 from using Gemini Nano. But after extensive testing, they found a way to run it smoothly even with less RAM, similar to other phones.
When to Expect this Update?
Look out for the next Pixel Feature Drop, expected in June. This update will likely be part of Android 14 QPR3. It’ll bring these new features to your Pixel 8, along with potential benefits for app developers.
Google’s 7-Year Update Promise
Google also explained how they keep your Pixel phone updated for a whopping 7 years! They work closely with suppliers and partners to deliver reliable updates every quarter. This long-term support is based on how people use their phones and for how long.
The Takeaway
Pixel 8 users are getting a fantastic upgrade with Gemini Nano. Google’s commitment to 7-year updates ensures your phone stays secure and gets new features for a long time.
