Good news for Pixel 8 users, it turns out that Google's generative AI 'Gemini Nano' will appear on Pixel 8
It has been reported that the functionality of Google's generation AI ``Gemini Nano'', which was previously only available on the Pixel 8 Pro due to hardware constraints, will now be available on the Pixel 8.

Gemini Nano was introduced to Pixel 8 Pro at the same time as the announcement in December 2023 as the most efficient on-device AI of the three Gemini models. However, even though it is equipped with Tensor G3, the same chip as the Pixel 8 Pro, Google has so far taken a policy of not installing Gemini Nano in the Pixel 8 due to 'hardware limitations'. .

As a result, the ``Summarize'' function, which uses AI to summarize audio content, will be added to the Pixel 8 recorder app, and the ``Smart Reply'' function, which uses AI to suggest chat responses, will be added to the Gboard app.
The most likely reason why Gemini Nano was not introduced in Pixel 8 was lack of memory, with Pixel 8 Pro having 12GB of RAM while Pixel 8 only has 8GB. On the other hand, Samsung's Galaxy S24 supported Gemini Nano despite having 8GB of memory, so some pointed out that memory was not the cause.
'Running large language models on devices with different memory specs can result in differences in user experience, so we've been testing and validating this on Pixel 8,' Google said in a media statement. As a result, we are able to give more fans and developers the opportunity to try out Gemini Nano, which means we can get more feedback and see more innovations. I'm very happy,'' he said, revealing that, as many expected, the difference in memory specs was the reason.
The next 'Pixel Feature Drop', an update that will bring Gemini Nano to Pixel 8, will be implemented in June 2024.
IT news site Android Police said, ``This is good news for Pixel 8 users, and even better news for those who are keeping an eye on Pixel 9, which is scheduled for release in late 2024. At Google's upcoming announcement event, Google I/O, there is a possibility that additional Gemini on-device features will be unveiled.'
