Android Auto’s next Gemini upgrade is leaving non-Pixel phones behind
Samsung and Motorola flagships aren't invited to this Gemini upgrade.
Android Auto's upcoming Gemini upgrade is excluding non-Pixel phones from its benefits, according to Google. The feature, powered by Gemini Intelligence, will offer proactive suggestions to eligible Pixel phones, connecting information across apps and providing helpful actions without the user needing to request them. The upgrade follows Google's recent introduction of Personal Intelligence to the Android Auto dashboard, and the company is already preparing another enhancement that will make the AI assistant even more useful while driving.
However, the next step in this AI push is limited to Pixel phones. In the November Pixel Drop, Google announced that Gemini Intelligence would soon bring proactive suggestions to Android Auto, as reported by 9to5Google. Rather than waiting for users to ask for help, Gemini will now analyze information across apps and suggest relevant actions when needed.
