Learn the difference between Gemini and Gemini Advanced features.
Everything you need to know about Google AI options.

Just when you think we’ve hit the smartphone peak, it goes higher. Way higher.

The new Pixel phones have arrived, and you can use them to supercharge your ideas with Gemini – or upgrade to Gemini Advanced. AI development is happening super fast, and these phones are built to take advantage of both the latest in AI and the innovation to come. 

There’s never been a more exciting time to buy a Pixel phone. Here’s a synopsis of Gemini and Gemini Advanced.

Gemini is the built-in AI assistant from Google on your Pixel phone2

Whether you buy a Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, or Pixel 9, your phone comes out of the box with Gemini.

Gemini on Pixel is your built-in AI assistant. However fast you move through your day, Gemini can help by:

  • Kickstarting productivity and creativity. Need a brainstorming partner or help planning something? Gemini only needs a prompt to get started. Ask something like, “Help me plan a date night – find a sushi restaurant open this Friday at 8pm,” then follow up with “Find me a dessert spot within walking distance.” (Hint: The more details, the better the results.) Completely different but just as awesome: You can generate an image with Gemini just by typing in your idea. Dream big, then easily drop it into Google Messages or Gmail to share.2

  • Summarising things for you. Long articles, a full inbox – who has time for all that? Well, Gemini does, and it can outline the important bits in just a few moments. Example: “Summarise all the emails from the childrens’ school and tell me what I need to know and do.” Gemini will provide an overview of your inbox and highlight where you might need to respond.

Gemini Advanced: Your all-access pass to Google’s next-gen AI 

Experience Google’s most capable AI models and get priority access to new features with Gemini Advanced. Plus, other perks like 2 TB of Cloud storage and Gemini in Gmail, Docs, and more are included with the Google One AI Premium Plan. One year of the plan comes with the purchase of Pixel 9 Pro or Pixel 9 Pro Fold.3

Gemini Advanced is made to tackle life’s most complex projects. It’s far more capable at logical reasoning, analysis, coding, and creative collaboration, so you can get more done, faster. 

Have a conversation or rehearse one. Instead of typing, go Live with Gemini Advanced to chat naturally back and forth using your voice. Ask it to help you rehearse for a job interview, go deep on a topic, and more. Gemini can follow along, even if you change course mid-thought or interrupt.4

Create your own custom experts in Gemini Advanced with Gems. Gems enable you to customise Gemini on your Pixel for your needs. Simply describe how you want your Gem to respond – for instance, ask it to be a subject-matter expert on a topic. 

What that might look like in practice: Set up a new Gem that’s a running coach, delivering daily running plans in a positive, motivating tone. Or create a tutor to make a study plan and help you get ready for an exam. You could even set up an expert on a topic that’s available for you wherever you are, like a sustainable-seafood expert that you can call on when you see what’s on sale at the supermarket. Gems are editable, so you can always refine your Gem to be more helpful.

Respond to emails faster with Gemini in Gmail. No more struggling to craft the perfect response on a small screen – Gemini can craft contextual smart replies to offer longer, more detailed suggestions with one tap. This feature is available through the Google One AI Premium plan for both desktop and Pixel. 

Now that you’re up to speed on the differences between Gemini and Gemini Advanced, it’s time to shop Pixel Pro

Ask Gemini Advanced to conduct deep research. Say you are looking into summer school for your children or comparing TV sets. Gemini Advanced will scour the web for sources, reviews, and pros, and cons, then present the results so you can make an informed decision without all the tedious legwork.
