THOSE who upgrade their smartphones and tablets to Android Nougat could soon benefit from the next-generation AI assistant, dubbed Google Assistant, that so-far has remained an exclusive to the US search firm's own phone, Google Pixel !!
It's very likely that Android users will begin to see Google Assistant start to pop-up on new devices beyond Google's own Pixel and Pixel XL.
And the change could be coming much sooner than previously thought.
According to 9To5Google, Google has inadvertently pushed-out an alpha release of its Android search app to beta testers, which allows users to enable Google Assistant support on non-Pixel hardware for the first time. Unfortunately, the updated Android search app isn't working for everyone on the beta program.
But those who have managed to get the alpha version of the Google
app working have reported success running Google Assistant on a portfolio of difference devices.
Notably, the availability appears to range from the Nexus 6P to the Alcatel Idol 4, and many other phones.
