Google opened Gemini Intelligence this Tuesday, November 10th, to the Pixel 10 and the Motorola signature 27, the first compatible smartphone from the brand. This rollout comes with new features, including widgets that users create by describing them with a simple sentence.
Gemini Intelligence groups together the artificial intelligence features of Gemini integrated directly into Android, Google’s mobile operating system. Google announced the expansion of the list in a blog post signed by Karthik Thirumalai, Product Director for AI on Android. The Pixel 10 lineup benefits from it with the November Pixel Drop, and Motorola becomes the third brand to offer Gemini Intelligence, after Google and Samsung, with its signature 27.
The Motorola signature 27 and the four Pixel 10 models (classic, Pro, Pro XL, and Pro Fold) receive Rambler, a feature of the Gboard keyboard that transforms dictated speech into clean, organized text in real time. Users speak normally, and the tool automatically removes filler words like ‘uh,’ then rearranges the ideas in order. All that’s left is to proofread before sending the message.
Chained Tasks and Suggestions
Gemini can autonomously chain together several actions within apps, for grocery shopping, booking a ride, ordering a meal, or finding a restaurant table. Google gives the example of ordering morning coffee. With this Pixel Drop, the feature arrives in Japan, the UK, and India, but France is not on the list.
The phone can also suggest actions at the right time. When asked what time one will arrive, it suggests sharing the estimated time of arrival with a single gesture. To use this, the Gemini app and prior setup are required. These suggestions will soon arrive on the Pixel Watch 4.
Custom-Created Widgets
If the desired widget doesn’t exist, it is now possible to create one from a simple description. Google cites several examples: a monthly expense tracker, a match widget in one’s team colors, or a countdown to vacation that automatically pulls flight and booking information. The feature is available on the Pixel 10 and Pixel 11, excluding the Pixel 10a, in certain markets. It will later arrive on the Pixel Watch 4 and 5.
The Pixel can also summarize long conversations to highlight the key points. This feature now supports French, as well as German, Spanish, Italian, Hindi, and Traditional Chinese. Google is also adding Device Assistance, a troubleshooting assistant that users ask in plain language to adjust or fix their phone. It can, for example, free up storage space, check which apps are accessing location, or mute distractions while letting important calls through. However, it requires a device running Android 17 or newer.
Country, Age, and Subscription
Gemini Intelligence is only available in certain countries and languages, and features vary from device to device. Several of them, including Create My Widget and task automation, are restricted to users over 18 and may require a subscription for more intensive use. Rambler, for its part, is subject to usage limits.
For the Motorola signature 27, Google has not communicated a price or release date in France. Pre-orders open on November 19th in the United States.
