Summary
Gemini Go is gradually arriving on Android Go devices with 2GB of RAM or more as Google extends its Assistant shutdown to entry-level phones.
The lightweight version runs inside the Google Search app and can be launched by long-pressing the Home button or Power key.
Google is pitching a more conversational assistant that can place calls, send texts, set alarms and calendar events, answer local search queries, upload files and play music.
The move replaces Assistant Go and broadens Gemini’s reach beyond standard Android devices as Google folds more AI features into its mobile software lineup.
