Google Replaces Assistant Go With Gemini on 2GB Android Phones

Summary
Android Go phones can now launch Gemini natively from the Google app, replacing Assistant Go with a long press of the Home or Power button.
2GB-RAM devices are the target for Gemini Go, which Google says is built to run efficiently on stripped-down hardware and ends the browser-based workarounds many budget users needed.
Gemini keeps basic assistant tasks like calls, texts, alarms and calendar events, but adds more conversational queries, file uploads and media playback controls.
Google is rolling out the switch gradually through Google app updates, extending its push to retire legacy voice tools and put Gemini across the Android lineup.
