Google Gemini Intelligence needs 12GB RAM on Android

Source: androidauthority.comMay 15, 2026

TL;DR

  • Google said Gemini Intelligence will start rolling out to Android devices in summer 2025.
  • Google listed three main requirements: 12GB of RAM, a flagship chip, and support for AI Core and Gemini Nano v3 or higher.
  • Android Authority reported that these requirements exclude devices such as the Pixel 9 series and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Google said at The Android Show in May 2025 that Gemini Intelligence will begin rolling out to Android phones in summer 2025. Android Authority reported that the feature set will only be available on devices that meet Google's hardware and software requirements.

Google's stated requirements for Gemini Intelligence on Android are 12GB of RAM, a flagship chip, and support for AI Core and Gemini Nano v3 or higher. Android Authority said these requirements set a high bar for eligibility among current Android phones.

Android Authority reported that phones including the Google Pixel 9 series and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 do not meet the published Gemini Intelligence criteria. The report said this means most Android phones are likely to miss out on the feature at launch.
