Overview
- Google’s posted requirements for Gemini Intelligence, detailed Friday by 9to5Google, call for Gemini Nano v3 on-device AI, a flagship chip, and at least 12GB of RAM.
- Those specs suggest many recent high-end phones that use Nano v2, including the Pixel 9 series and Galaxy Z Fold 7, may miss the first wave, and Google has not said if software updates will fix that.
- Google says the new AI features will debut later this year on Pixel and Samsung Galaxy devices, with reports pointing to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as a likely first launch.
- Separate leaks describe Gemini Spark as an always-on agent inside Gemini that can run multi-step tasks across apps, build reusable “skills,” and potentially steer Chrome or fetch files from a PC.
- Leaked onboarding text warns Spark can tap linked apps and chat history and might share sensitive data or make purchases without asking, raising privacy and user-agency concerns ahead of Google I/O next week.
