Google reverses its previous decision, announcing that the Pixel 8 will receive Gemini Nano on-device AI features after all.
The upcoming Android 14 Feature Drop in June will include Gemini Nano for the Pixel 8 as a developer preview.
Gemini Nano will power features like Smart Reply in Gboard and Summarize in Recorder, previously exclusive to the Pixel 8 Pro.
