All the Android phones getting the new Gemini Intelligence
Google has announced plenty of new features and upcoming products, but one of the most intriguing is undoubtedly Gemini Intelligence.
Gemini Intelligence is promised to bring the “best of Gemini” to compatible devices, by integrating premium hardware and software to help users in everyday life. For an overview of what the new system specifically includes, visit our Gemini Intelligence explainer.

Which Android phones are expected to see Gemini Intelligence?
At the time of writing, Google hasn’t revealed the exact dates for when we can expect the Android 17 update to launch. Instead, the company has just stated it will begin the roll out this summer.
We should also disclaim that, at the time of writing, Google hasn’t officially announced the specific phones that will support Gemini Intelligence. Instead, Google states that the first Android devices to see Gemini Intelligence will be the latest Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones. With this in mind, we can assume the entire Pixel 10 series, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and potentially even the affordable Pixel 10a, will see the feature.
We don’t currently know if the Pixel 9 series will benefit from Gemini Intelligence, so we’ll have to wait and see.
Similarly, we can reasonably expect that the Galaxy S26 series, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra, will sport Gemini Intelligence. Plus, considering the upcoming Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 are rumoured to launch sometime in the summer, it’s likely that the foldable may also use Gemini Intelligence – though that’s speculation on our part.
Which other Android devices will see Gemini Intelligence?
Google has teased that other Android devices will include Gemini Intelligence features. Such devices will include “your watch, car, glasses and laptops.” WearOS will see features like Create my Widget, while Android Auto will soon be able to pair and integrate with Gemini Intelligence-compatible Androids.
Finally, we also know that Google’s new Googlebook line-up will also benefit from Gemini Intelligence features, including the Magic Pointer and Create my Widgets.
