Glad to know. I'm not buying anything with AI built in. It's a toy, but the privacy ramifications are enormous. I'm dubious about the huge push for AI this, AI that.
Android authority? seems more like Google Advertorial…
Yeah, android authority posts a lot of Google-favorable "articles". Almost as if they were getting paid to.
They are not getting paid. But these articles pulls lot of traffic. It's just metrics game.
Fair enough
Google notes that it “carves out” a dedicated portion of RAM to run Gemini on-device for the first time, preventing other apps from using that memory for a smoother AI experience.
What if I want zero AI on my phone? The Tensor processors heated up quickly in hot weather back in the day. I wonder if that has been fixed or not.
No no, you don't get this, you need this. It's not a subscription, it's an investment to your future
