Pixel 8 Pro: Empowering Features with Google AI - Google Store
The Pixel 8 Pro is the first smartphone designed to run Gemini Nano, which is Google's most efficient model tailored for on-device tasks. Currently, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8a are running Gemini Nano as part of a developer preview program.
Gemini Nano Features
As the pioneer phone engineered for Gemini Nano, the Pixel 8 Pro introduces two enhanced features: Summarize in Recorder and Magic Compose. With Gemini Nano's forthcoming full multimodal capabilities, your phone will soon be able to comprehend various types of information beyond text, including sights, sounds, and spoken language.
The Summarize feature in the Recorder app, powered by Gemini Nano, allows users to get a concise summary of recorded conversations, interviews, presentations, and more, even without an internet connection. Additionally, conversation transcripts generated by this feature include speaker identifications and can be exported into text files or Google Docs for easy organization.
Utilize Google's generative AI technology through Magic Compose on Pixel 6 and newer models to rewrite messages in diverse styles, making them more concise, professional, or dramatic. The Pixel 8 Pro, enhanced with Gemini Nano, processes message generation on the device itself, enabling functionality even without an internet connection.
