Gemini Nano AI: Google loves Galaxy S24 more than Pixel 8!

Google‘s recent announcement on TheAndroidShow has revealed something big related to Gemini Nano for Galaxy S24 and Pixel 8 users. Terence Zhang, a Developer Relations engineer at Google, revealed that the anticipated Gemini Nano would not feature in the upcoming Pixel 8 due to “some hardware limitations.”

Notably, the Pixel 8 Pro smartphone is the first smartphone to feature Gemini Nano. On the other side, the base model of the Pixel 8 series will not have this feature. This is quite surprising, especially since the Pixel 8 and its Pro variant feature the same Tensor G3 chipset.

However, there are different memory capacities – 8GB for the standard model and 12GB for the Pro models of Pixel 8. This could be a reason but interestingly, the Galaxy S24 series with 8GB of RAM already feature Gemini Nano compatibility, which suggests that RAM is not that factor.

Google is planning to introduce the Gemini Nano in more high-end devices soon. However, it remains to be seen what will be the hardware requirements for Gemini Nano.
