Google has announced a series of major upgrades for Android phones, introducing new artificial intelligence (AI) tools, smarter automation features, and improvements to Android Auto and device connectivity.
The announcements were made during Google’s “Android Show” ahead of its annual Google I/O developer conference.
Among the key features unveiled was “Gemini Intelligence,” Google’s new AI-powered Android system designed to automate tasks such as filling forms, shopping assistance, and managing apps. Google said the new AI tools will also support customised widgets, smarter voice typing, and improved cross-device connectivity.
Google also announced upgrades to Android Auto, including enhanced 3D Google Maps navigation, improved entertainment features, and deeper Gemini AI integration inside vehicles.
Other upgrades include new Android interface features, expanded file-sharing tools, better screen-time management options, and AI-powered functions inside Chrome on Android devices.
While many of the features are expected to be available as free Android software updates, some advanced AI tools are likely to be limited to newer premium devices such as upcoming Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones. (Newswire)
