Following the launch of the Pixel 11 series, Google has updated its developer documentation for Gemini Nano 4.

The first “nano-v4” devices launched in recent weeks from Google and Samsung.

**Google**: Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, Pixel 11 Pro Fold** Samsung**: Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra

[This list](https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/genai#:~:text=vivo%20X300%20Pro-,nano%2Dv4,-Google%3A%20Pixel%2011), which was updated yesterday, is aimed at app developers, but there is some development on the consumer Gemini Intelligence front.

Google recently updated the list of [required specs on android.com](https://www.android.com/gemini-intelligence/#voice-to-text:~:text=Gemini%20Intelligence%20features) to bring back the “Nano v3 or greater” mention. That line [first appeared in May](https://9to5google.com/2026/05/15/gemini-intelligence-android-spec-requirements/) after The Android Show: I/O Edition, but it was then removed.

Gemini Intelligence features are only available on Android devices with the most advanced capabilities and spec requirements

- Nano models on device AI (integrate AI Core + Nano v3 or greater)
- Media performance (latest): spatial audio, low light, hdr; gaming: annual GGI + driver updates
- 12GB+ RAM

- Quality in Field: Meet SLOs (e.g., crash rate) in 2026. Further enforced in 2027
- Quality at Launch: pass test suite on A17+
- OS: 5 upgrades, AVF, pKVM

Gemini Intelligence officially launched last month on Samsung’s latest foldables with expanded task automation that now supports over 40 apps. On the Pixel 11 series, Google debuted Rambler and [Proactive Assistance](https://9to5google.com/2026/08/19/pixel-11-pro-initial-review/) (previously Magic Cue).

It remains to be seen whether the Pixel 10 or Galaxy S26 series will officially get Gemini Intelligence, while we wait for [Create My Widget](https://9to5google.com/2026/05/12/gemini-intelligence-announcement/). Google previously said that these new features would roll out in waves.
