Google did Pixel 8 users dirty by launching Gemini Nano only for Pixel 8 Pro; here's what P8 will be missing

Google announced several new features and updates for Pixel devices today, including the Gemini model Gemini Nano. However, Pixel 8 users were disappointed when it was revealed that Gemini would only be available on the Pixel 8 Pro. This move has left many Pixel 8 owners feeling like they’ve been left out in the cold.

Google Gemini is a new and powerful artificial intelligence model from Google. According to the benchmark scores, it performs better than the current best GPT4.

Here are some of the new features that Pixel 8 users will miss out on:

• Summarize in Recorder: This feature uses Gemini Nano to provide summaries of recorded conversations, interviews, presentations, and more.
• Smart Reply in Gboard: This feature uses Gemini Nano to suggest high-quality responses to messages in your favorite messaging apps.
• Improved video quality: Gemini Nano can be used to improve the quality of videos by adjusting color, lighting, stabilization, and graininess.
• Night Sight video and timelapse: These features use Gemini AI to record high-quality videos in low light and capture vibrant timelapse videos after dark.
• Improved portrait light and Photo blur: These features use Gemini AI to improve the quality of portrait photos and remove blur from photos of dogs, cats, and people.

Pixel 8 users will get some updates, but those updates are available for everyone using Pixel 6 and above. 

Overall, Pixel 8 users were disappointed by Google’s decision to launch Gemini Nano only on the Pixel 8 Pro. This move feels like a slap in the face to Pixel 8 owners, who are now forced to upgrade to the latest model if they want to experience the full range of new features. Whether Google will eventually release Gemini AI for Pixel 8 remains to be seen. Still, for now, Pixel 8 users are left feeling like second-class citizens.
