Good news for Gemini enthusiasts with older Android phones
Google’s Gemini assistant, powered by generative AI, has been a hit since its launch over a year ago. Initially available only on newer devices running Android 12 or higher, there is now a positive development for those with older phones who want to experience the capabilities of the Gemini app.
Expanded device support
The Gemini app, previously limited to Android 12 and above, has now extended its compatibility to devices running Android 10 or higher. This change was observed in the most recent version of the app available on APKMirror, with the minimum version requirement now listed as "Android 10+".
Google also officially updated the app's Play Store listing to reflect the new system requirements, confirming the need for Android 10 and above.
Implications for users
With this update, users with older Android phones can now access the Gemini app, adding another compelling reason to retain their devices. The shift in system requirements opens up new possibilities for users who were previously unable to enjoy the Gemini assistant on their smartphones.
Conclusion
This development heralds a positive shift for individuals with older Android devices, offering them the opportunity to leverage the innovative capabilities of Google's Gemini assistant. As more users gain access to this technology, the potential for enhanced user experiences and increased device utility is on the horizon.
