Like last year, Google is making most of its Android announcements a week before I/O 2026. At The Android Show, we got four sets of announcements.
Gemini Intelligence is how Google will refer to its best AI features on “advanced” Android devices, including phones, watches, cars, glasses, and laptops.
It integrates premium hardware and innovative software to help you stay a step ahead by working proactively to get things done throughout your day — all while keeping your data private, and keeping you in control.
The first wave of features is coming to the “latest” Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy this summer. There’s a consistent interface for Gemini Intelligence that builds on Material 3 Expressive.
Task automation will work in more apps and support screen/image context. For example: “Imagine you have a long grocery list on your notes app. Just long press the power button over the list and ask Gemini to build a shopping cart with all of the items for delivery.”
