The December Pixel Drop for Pixel phones, tablets, and other compatible devices has recently been announced by Google. Improved Gemini with saved info, smart control over smart home devices, Spotify streaming, Maps information, Gemini Nano for contextual responses to unknown callers, expressive captions on Pixel, and Pixel Screenshots that automatically categorise screenshots for simpler searching are just a few of the additional features it offers.
As Google’s December Pixel Drop arrives on your supported devices, the Gemini AI becomes more intelligent. Gemini Advanced now has a saved info function, which allows users to personalise their responses by preserving their interests and preferences. This feature enables Gemini to deliver more relevant and helpful responses that are tailored to individual goals and needs. For example, if a user mentions that they are vegetarian, Gemini will recommend vegetarian-friendly dishes without frequent reminders. Users can simply access, edit, and delete shared data.
