Google will bring Gemini, the company's new large language model, to Pixel 8 smartphones after all. The phone will incorporate Gemini Nano, a version of the model built to run locally on personal devices. This follows a successful rollout to the Pixel 8 Pro late last year and the Samsung Galaxy S24 in January.
The Pixel 8 features the same proprietary Tensor G3 chip as the Pro, which was designed to speed up AI performance. So the overall experience should be similar with both gadgets. It'll be coming in the next Pixel Feature Drop, but only as a developer preview for now. Google wants to collect feedback and make sure everything is running smoothly on the slightly lower-specced phone.
This is a fairly sudden change for Google. The company originally said that the Pixel 8 couldn't handle on-device Gemini because of "hardware limitations", despite having the same chip as the Pro model. The main difference between the two phones is the RAM allotment, which doesn't seem like a deal-breaker when it comes to running an on-device AI. It looks like Google also came around to that line of thinking.
So what can you do with this thing? The company's expanding two features that make use of the LLM, and both of these tools have been available for Pro users. The Reco

Memory (or RAM) is the perfect example of this. Your PC uses RAM to hold data temporarily: When you're opening applications, working on large files in Photoshop, or even juggling dozens and dozens of browser tabs, that data is being stored in the system memory, not on your SSD or HDD. The more memory-intensive tasks you do, the more RAM you should have. It'll keep your computer feeling fast and responsive.
Many laptop shoppers know this, but not exactly how much to get. So we've broken down what to expect from common RAM configurations, plus some tips at the end for purchase strategies.
Is 2GB of RAM good for a laptop?
For modern Windows computers, 2GB of RAM will feel slow. You won't be able to run many programs simultaneously, much less have more than a few browser tabs open at one time. These days, most Windows laptops come with 4GB as the baseline configuration, and for good reason.
(As for Apple laptops, they've long left even 4GB RAM behind as a baseline.)
If for some reason you encounter a laptop with only 2GB RAM—perhaps an older budget model being sold secondhand—it's only worthwhile if you can immediately upgrade it to 4GB RAM or more. That means the laptop should have user-accessibl
