For your information, Gemini Nano is characterized by the following: 

1. On-device AI: Enhanced privacy, zero additional costs, and offline functionality. 

2. Smallest Gemini family model: Designed for efficiency and compactness to accommodate the limited resources of edge devices. 

3. Multimodal capabilities: As demonstrated at last year's Google event, it processes text, images, and audio simultaneously. 

4. Stateless operation: Each conversation is treated independently; past interactions are not retained. 

5. Managed distribution: Google handles model downloads and updates on Android, simplifying the process for developers. 

6. Limited device support: Currently available on Pixel 8/9 series, S24/S25 series, Z Fold and Flip 6, Moto Razr, and moto current flagship model. 

7. Open for experimentation: Already integrated into various Google apps and accessible to developers for Android application development.

Given that recent devices are marketed as AI-powered and AI-optimized, the utility of their processing power is diminished if they rely on mobile data or cloud connectivity. In contrast, Galaxy AI's reliance on local storage, while less powerful, is independent of connectivity. Similarly, Google Translate and Gemini currently require a connection. Therefore, on-device AI is highly desirable, as the full potential of powerful processors remains unrealized if they depend on Wi-Fi, storage, or cloud services. Even older devices like the S23 series, Pixel 6 and 7 series, and others possess sufficient processing power for Gemini Nano, yet support remains absent. The lack of Gemini Nano enablement on compatible devices is perplexing.

"The lack of Gemini Nano enablement on compatible devices is perplexing." Because it is still in the experimental stage, as your post already observed.

Atleast enable it on devices that support it the s24 series and pixel 8 series should've launched with gemini nano enabled because they have been marketed AI phones and so far we only have few not really pratical and not really useful AI features people would buy into, gemini is mostly what I use because all galaxy AI can do is summarize brief text and few things here and there, gemini nano for these devices would truly make it an on device AI dependent on processing power rather than cloud on or device storage and connection.

Yes audio easier and generative edit is some what useful but not enough to buy into galaxy AI, I have made a post about my wishlist one ui 8.5 galaxy AI follow this account than scroll I just talked about this couple of hours ago what would make galaxy AI pratical.

Hi qwer123,

Thank you for your feedback.

Currently, Gemini Nano availability is controlled by Google and limited to select devices. While Galaxy devices like the S23 series have strong AI capabilities, enabling Gemini Nano depends on Google's distribution policies.

We continue to expand on-device AI experiences through Galaxy AI and appreciate your suggestion, which we’ve shared with the relevant teams.

Atleast bring it to s24 series, pixel 8 series and later that have the support

Screw any ai Google based!

Samaunghaa their own thatimolements both Bixby and Tizen and better integrates to theres5 I'd their ai enabled devices within their ecosystem.

Google has far too much negatively affected Samsungs devices and any Galaxy Ai just gets copied onto the competition less than 4mths after launch so what's the point??!!

Samsung translate is just inferior and is dependent on device storage rather than on device processor dependent, I'd much rather they integrated Google translate or give us the opition for google translate on call assist interpreter n spen, spen translate got a downgrade because of galaxy AI where they removed google translate and it is now using Samsung translate instead

Samsung GalaxyAi gen 2 - released in Korea for S25 series is all local on device and has many languages - more than what's offered elsewhere. Yes agree language translationsupoirt is inferior currently yet it's better integrated than Gemini is for thwie 1stoary applications than what Gemini has along with having agents.

Google just renamed agents into some lame 2 word definition which is stupid. It confuses users and locks in their brains to future when they share to friends and others in smartphone community = ultimately brand lockin and brand advertisement.

Good has a huge history and tendency to drop features and apps for no reason regardless of popularity or use.
