Google’s surprise early announcement of the Pixel 9 series is only a few weeks away. But before the official release, a new leak has surfaced which gives us an insight into how the Pixel 9 will take on Samsung’s Galaxy AI.. The big news, aside from the refreshed hardware, is that Pixel 9 buyers will get a year free of Gemini Advanced.
This isn’t an exclusive Pixel 9 feature because Gemini can currently analyze images and make suggestions, or answer questions, including coming up with recipe ideas. It gave me nine meal ideas for eggs, bananas, and ginger from a snap of my pantry this afternoon.But I suspect Google has repacked certain Gemini skills to make them more accessible. Maybe after a picture is taken there’s an option in Google Photos to 'suggest a recipe' or just 'analyze image.
As it stands, Gemini is just a standalone app with some influence over Gmail and Docs. The leaked images don’t give much detail away, but if it’s possible for Gemini to save a Google Calendar entry from a screenshot—then that is a powerful feature and a step forward in mobile AI tools. Google has been working on integrating Gemini and Google Assistant, so that work may have bore some fruit that is now ready to harvest in the Pixel 9.
