New features include new Google search capabilities, a new AI assistant, and AI models on the device that can run when you’re offline.
Google has released many new Android features for its millions of users. These trends are driven by common sense and involve some major changes. Google says these new features are designed to improve user experience and improve security.
New features include new Google search capabilities, a new AI assistant, and AI models on the device that can be run when you’re not online.
1. Search AI capabilities
Circle Search is expanding to other Android devices. According to Google, this feature is available on over 100 million devices, with plans to expand. This tool allows users to access AI-powered searches instantly.
2. Gemini is an AI assistant
Android launched “Gemini” as an intelligent assistant that runs on all apps on the device. Google says Gemini is designed to be context-aware, meaning it understands the context you’re interacting with and provides relevant assistance.
For example, if you’re watching a video, Gemini can answer questions about the specific content you’re watching. In addition, the “Gemini Nano” variant promises to reduce latency and can work offline, starting with Pixel devices later this year.
3. Artificial intelligence devices
Android has also enhanced the artificial intelligence capabilities of its devices to better protect sensitive information on your phone. Google claims that this approach ensures that data processing occurs locally on the device, thereby improving security and privacy.
4. Instant fraud prevention
Google is currently testing a feature to notify users when fraud occurs. If you receive a fraudulent call, the system can identify and warn you, helping you avoid fraud.
Later this year, Google announced that Gemini will improve on-screen context awareness, allowing the AI assistant to understand and benefit from everyday interactions.
