Google has unveiled some exciting details about Android 15 and its new Gemini AI at a recent event. Alongside expanding its Pixel family, the tech giant showcased the integration of advanced AI features that will soon be available on Android devices. Here’s what you need to know.
What is Gemini Live and How Does it Work?
Replacing Google Assistant as the default AI on Android devices, Gemini now comes with significantly enhanced conversational abilities. The new Gemini Live feature, available through a Gemini Advanced subscription, allows users to have more natural conversations with the AI. In addition, Gemini will leverage Nano to utilize on-device multimodal AI, including voice commands, text inputs, and even learning from visuals on the user’s screen. This ensures that all data remains on the device without sending it to servers, prioritizing user privacy.
Exclusive AI Features for Pixel Devices
Google also introduced several new AI features exclusive to the Pixel series. One of the standout features is Add Me, which allows users to combine selfies with group photos seamlessly. Pixel Screenshots now supports text search within screenshots, making it easier to find specific information by searching through your saved images.
Another exciting feature is Call Summary, which analyzes important details from phone conversations and generates brief summaries. Reimagine is a powerful tool that enables users to make verbal adjustments to images, such as saying “make the grass greener” to edit a photo on the fly.
With these AI-powered tools like Gemini Live, Google aims to make Android smartphones smarter and more intuitive. While currently available through a subscription model, there’s potential for these Gemini features to become more widely available across devices with the rollout of Android 15.
