On which devices does Gemini come as an assistant?
Google begins to replace the Google Assistant on Android smartphones with Gemini. But it won't stay. Basically, the AI should find its way into all devices:
- Wear OS-Smartwatches
- Smart-Displays
- Tablets
- TV
- Autos
- Headphones
- and more
Are there any requirements for Gemini? Yes, there is. At least the Android smartphones must have at least 2.0 GB of RAM and run under Android 10.
If the device does not meet the requirements, the Google Assistant remains in use at the present time (!).
When will the Google assistant be replaced by Gemini?
Google remains vague when Gemini is used as an assistant on further smartphones. The search engine giantspeaksAlready from the "coming months". OnGemini already appears.
It remains to be seen whether the first smartwatches, television and Co. will be equipped with Gemini in 2025. Google plans to publish more information in the coming months, perhaps on the.
What changes with Gemini?
Some users already feel the changeover, because Google has started to remove some functions of the Google Assistant in the course of the change.
AgainSupport pagethe manufacturer can already be found, the following language functions are already lost:
- »Mark your photos as favorites, share them and ask by voice command where and when they were recorded.
- Change the settings for the picture frame or the surrounding screen by voice command.

It is very likely that other "largely unused" functionsof the Google voice assistant to be tacitly removed.
Users who know the old commands inside and by heart must therefore get used to the new "control" of Gemini, provided that it is already possible there.
In general, the operation of Gemini will differ significantly with the Google Assistant, which can initially lead to problems when using many devices with different assistants.
However, the new voice assistant has a large range of functions.
The advantages of Gemini
Gemini has more complex processing as a large voice model:
- Gemini can understand more complex inquiries and react accordingly.
- The biggest advantage is that the context is preserved across many inquiries. You don't have to always start over and over again and reopen the topic.
- With future updates, Gemini will also be able to access apps. The service can already access manufacturer's own apps on Samsung devices.
- There will also be new functions for the processing of images by entering the text.
- Texts can be written in different formats and styles using Gemini.
- With theadded. Gemini thus accesses extensive text information and searches it according to the information relevant to the request and prepares it accordingly.
- And much more.
Working in the backgroundthat Gemini should make even more personal. Accordingly, this upgrade should be able to access information many Android apps and adapt to the interests of the users.
The goal: The assistant should become more personal and react to individual user behavior. This is intended to provide Pixel Sense context -related recommendations.
Basically, Google's goals seem to overlap with those of Apple. The iPhone manufacturer announced a personal approach from Apple Intelligence on the WWDC 2024. At the moment, however, the manufacturer from Cupertino seems to have increasing problems with the implementation of this strategy and LLM Siri.
Therefore, the implementation will probably be delayed by 2026.
