Samsung’s latest flagship foldables—the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip 8—have officially become the first smartphones to ship with Google’s new Gemini Intelligence platform and on-device Gemini Nano 4 model.
The devices are also the first in the industry to earn the official “with Gemini Intelligence” badge on Android, signifying top-tier hardware capable of advanced on-device AI.
What’s New in Gemini Nano 4?
Built on Google’s Gemma 4 architecture, Gemini Nano 4 brings significant upgrades to local AI processing:
-

Language Support: Supports over 140 languages right out of the box.
-
Efficient Performance: Designed for faster on-device execution with improved privacy and minimal latency.

What is “Gemini Intelligence”?
Gemini Intelligence is Google’s high-tier hardware-backed ecosystem for Android. Rather than serving as just an app, it integrates deeply into the system to perform complex tasks:
-
Expanded Task Automation: Allows Gemini to handle multi-step actions across over 40 supported apps.
-
Upcoming Features: Future updates will introduce capabilities such as Create My Widget, Gboard Rambler, and Autofill via Gemini Personal Intelligence.
What the “with Gemini Intelligence” Badge Means
The “with Gemini Intelligence” label acts as Google’s official quality mark for premium, AI-ready Android hardware. It guarantees that the device possesses the processing power, RAM, and NPU performance needed for next-generation on-device AI.
Following Samsung’s foldables, Google’s upcoming Pixel 11 series is expected to be the next flagship lineup to carry the badge.
