9 BIG Gemini on Android announcements you need to know! | Google I/O 2024

1. Batar

2. I guess my Pixel 7 is ready to be a museum piece already 😢

3. “7 years of support” HA. I knew it was too good to be true. The limitations of software will always be hardware.

   Sorry boys and gals, the Pixel 8 Pro is already obsolete.

4. Its disappointing to me that they didnt mention Google Assistant at all.

5. Also very disappointing is that Gemini is still not capable of doing much of what Assistant can do… and there is no indication of when it will be possible to have ONE smart assistant that does all things. At present on Android once cannot run Gemini if you have Google Assistant running as your assistant app, and given Google has seemed to have made NO announcement about this is VERY disappointing… all this other stuff is just bla bla by comparison IMO.

6. So Google were releasing Tensor processors, which sucked at everything compared to Snapdragon, but Google claimed they were at least good for AI. But now it turns out they can't run their own Gemini nano. So turns out Tensors vere crap at everything, including AI.

7. I thought IO was pretty boring, and very disappointing that Google is doing all this stuff when it does some of the basics SO BADLY… for example, Google Gboard/voice typing can NEVER get my wife's name right, It NEVER get's my son's name right, or my stepfather's.. or our their family name… regardless of how many hundreds of times I have corrected the guessed spelling, the parts of Google AI I have to deal with daily are INCREDIBLY STUPID! Why can't these basic tools work properly. surely this is not too hard for Google? I don't care about curated photo albums and auto answering my phone… I care about the day to day use of my phone AI, and Google is doing a miserable job of that.

8. I wonder can it click on the i am not a robot box or find all the traffic lights correctly

9. Reminds me of a kids song… "Old big Google released some phones… Ai Ai Oh!" 😏🤣🤣🤣
   😎🇬🇧

10. By dynamic… you mean annoying and intrusive?

11. Why can't google streamline Google Assistant and Gemini into 1, Google assistant was meant to be like an Al companion from the start , whats the point of having 2 services having the same end goals?

12. Nowdays it seems software is the to go… while hardware innovation has been staggering or slow…its easier to achieve in code but shall we also start challenging the hardware otherwise we should start to demand stronger software support instead of the need to keep buying new hardware every year…

13. What about Android 15 update

14. Google has really fallen behind in AI.

    None of these features would be used by me, after the inital hype.

    Openai wowd me harder than google at this point.

15. Interesting how the Pixel 8 won't be able to support those future features because of its slower SoC, despite their claims of 7 years of updates. It'll be obsolete way before that.

16. I thought it was funny that they packed IO with so much AI they had to save the next Android version for tomorrow.

17. I took a look at the API, only the 8 Pro and the Samsung S24 series can run this as of typing this up.

18. Searching and summarizing YouTube video is literally designed to rob you out of your ad revenue and you're gushing?! Ever heard the term "tone deaf"?

19. Oh boy a homework helper, as a 27 year old several years out of school this should come in handy

20. Ai can be useful but i'm really disappointed in the subscription model. $20 a month…no

21. "Hey Gemini, look over this 200 page legal document and explain it like I am 5 years old"

22. For information management it is much better than the others, although for conversation it is one step behind chatgpt

23. Google did the equivalent of bringing a picture of your Xmas present and saying it was in the mail still.

24. #teampixel

25. Great – more power – I'll hold off until S25 then

26. Make the google assistant call screen available on all android device
    Take my money

27. Dynamic suggestion?
    I miss, google now

28. The first thing I do when I get a phone is disable the assistant. Meanwhile, I enjoy compact phones so I buy pixels. What a waste 😂

29. where is there any info for the new version of android?

30. I have no doubt in my mind at least 90% of these are going to be, inexplicably, Geo restricted to US only. There is NO WAY dynamic suggestions (which does sound like a fun feature and an improvement on something that has already existed in some way) is going to be available outside the US. It has a predecessor that did similar stuff like suggest an address in messsages etc but it worked US only afaik.

31. Google have already started limiting what their older phones will be able to do (new version of gemini not going to be available on the still current flagship phone!!!). This doesn't look good for their promise of 7 years of updates. By then hardly any of the new features will be available on their older phones. Time to switch to iPhone!

32. wake me up when Gemini can do what google assistant and siri have been able to do for YEARS AND YEARS: smarthome voice commands

33. Nice 😇😇😇😍😍

34. It's unlisted, Maybe of embargo 👀

35. What’s the minimum pixel phone to use this Gemini nano? Nvm. Pixel 8 pro

36. In other words, GPT-4o was the more exciting update (and also more scary one)

37. First watcher

38. Awesome

39. 1st
