The smartphone industry never ceases to amaze us as Google is now tearing down the existing walls of technological advancement! Despite the fact that the PIXEL 8 series has not yet been officially released and no one actually knows what kind of smartphone Google is preparing to launch in 2023 with PIXEL 8 and PIXEL 8a, news about the forthcoming device has already hit the web. Preparing for the release of the futuristic PIXEL 8 series is a completely new technology that could significantly change smartphone users’ perception of software and hardware interaction. Allegedly, the new PIXEL 8 and PIXEL 8a will comprise the first smartphone series to get equipped with Gemini Nano capabilities. Let’s delve into everything you need to know about this incredible feature and what it holds for PIXEL users.
The Gemini Nano is the first smartphone technology to take advantage of hardware built right into the device, and the PIXEL 8 Pro has been the only Pixel to have Nano support up to this point. Recent findings point to a wider rollout that could fundamentally change how users experience all of their phones.
Simultaneous to that evolution is this simple toggle, revealed in an APK teardown of Google’s app AICore. It’s not a button. It’s a toggle. And it’s the switch that turns on Gemini Nano on PIXEL 8 and PIXEL 8a. Soon after that announcement, and followed by The Verge’s ensuing explanation, there was a flurry of questions and attention on this support. It seemed that Google found it necessary to clarify its position, leveraging its mainstream platform, to press forward with its promises to support its Gemini AI features in its new PIXEL devices this year.
Gemini Nano could be a coup for PIXEL 8 and its cousin, the 8a, but they’ll need to dig into the Developer Options to activate it, keeping the feature safely in the shadows for most people. Leaving the activation toggles off by default sets a precedent for owners to opt in more intentionally, a change that suggests the end of a user experience where things just work.
To get started with Nano, you first have to go into Developer Options, then into AICore Settings, and then toggle on the checkboxes that make everything happen to bring Gemini Nano to your PIXEL 8 or PIXEL 8a. If you are brave enough to dive into developer settings, you’ll open up new modes of accessing life on a smartphone.
Intriguingly, the update also makes it possible for a PIXEL 8 Pro user to toggle Gemini Nano – which is continuously gathering information about you – back off. That’s a nod to user autonomy that’s missing from the commodified experience offered by a phone like the Samsung Galaxy S23 that features a Galaxy AI interface.
As we edge into our new age, Gemini Nano support for PIXEL 8 and PIXEL 8a, due to be released any day now, is Google’s way of doubling down on features that make using a phone more enjoyable. This also means that the timeline for next-level versions of PIXEL is being primed for users to explore new avenues of becoming more intimate with their phones.
At the bottom, we have the PIXEL ethos, the need to keep pushing the envelope when it comes to making the best smartphones with the best user experience possible. From game-changing tech like Gemini Nano to simply giving more power to the user, PIXEL is leading the way, ensuring it will always be at the forefront of the technological era. The story of Gemini Nano and the PIXEL 8 and PIXEL 8a is much more than an update; it is a reflection of the spirit that drives PIXEL’s unbounded advancements into the future. Who knows what wonders the expanding PIXEL universe will bring?
