While Google is slowly rolling out its Gemini AI on Pixel phones, two more brands are confirmed to integrate the LLM model into their smartphones later this year. They are BBK Electronics-owned OnePlus and OPPO. That’s not all. In fact, both of them announced that their phones will have the search giant’s most powerful model – the Gemini 1.0 Ultra instead of the Nano and Pro.
OnePlus and OPPO to integrate Google’s powerful Gemini Ultra into their devices
Recently, OnePlus and OPPO both introduced AI Eraser for their devices. It is similar to Google’s Magic Eraser which removes any unwanted elements from an image. The feature is powered by the company’s own AI model called AndesGPT.
At Google’s Cloud Next 2024 event, OnePlus and OPPO confirmed that their phones would get various features powered by Gemini AI like news summaries, audio summaries, and more. The Gemini 1.0 Ultra model will be arriving on compatible devices later this year. Both brands also hinted at an AI feature to generate social media content. They also plan to introduce AIGC experiences over the next few years to prioritise user needs and intuitive product design.
OnePlus and OPPO also state that they aim to be the first ones to launch features powered by the top-end Ultra platform on phones. For those unaware, Gemini Nano is the smallest AI model whereas the Pro is geared towards versatile usage. The Pixel 8 Pro and Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series have a mix of both LLM models for features on the device. The Gemini Ultra is for more demanding tasks and can run off Google’s own servers.
