Google has made old Android phones better with new AI technology.
Just after Samsung fully revealed its
AI, the Gemini app, which is made by Google, will be available to other Android
users as well.
When the company developed Gemini support for Android devices, it only considered those above Android 12 to support that app. However, the previous version of Gemini for Android, which is the latest—v1.0.626720042—can now be linked by clicking from the
Google Play Store to devices with even older Android 10 and Android 11.
Artem Russakovskii was first seen
on Twitter/X testing Gemini, and it seems it will work on Android 10 and 11 as
well. The experience is the same as a newer handset, and it seems to function
just as well.
This mark by Google certainly isn't
tiny. Both these operating systems continue to command powerful user bases.
Android 10 and later comprise 8.82% and 16.57% of the entire active pool of
global Android users. Google's newest AI technology is getting permission from
millions of devices.
The latter users of Google's old
Pixel phones and the others with the Wear original from the Android system may
also benefit. By the end of 2021, will Circle check out with search engines and
then carry on its plans this year? But I have in mind whether it is other
Pixel-only exclusive AI capabilities. Gemini’s document about support states
that a device with which it is running takes up to 4GB RAM to work correctly –
many devices fit exactly into this range. It will be interesting to see how far
Google can advance the Gemini mobile browser as well as the whole family of
related tools for the phones that are left the androids.
Surprisingly, Google and Samsung
promise to release AI tools on the latest and even older mobile devices like
smartphones. In a press release last week, Samsung announced that the Galaxy
S23 would be updated with Live Translate, Circle to Search, Note Assistant, intelligent
image editing, and several other AI apps. The delay lasted a month, after which
it announced that it would push the same upgrade to the Galaxy S22 series.
The standout feature, previously
unique to the Galaxy S24, is that toolset. Google also pushes newer features to
older devices during its routine practice using its Feature Drop program, which
may look forward to tasteful work soon. This doesn't come as a shock,
considering Google CEO Sundar Pichai proclaimed in January that we live in the
['Age of Gemini' in the Digital Era' of today].
Google has officially claimed to
have made no statements yet on the Gemini update. However, the company will
probably wait for next month's monthly I/O Conference, during which we expect
them to make some announcements regarding the Gemini projects.
