Gemini Intelligence is the name for Gemini features built into Android phones themselves. On 10 November 2026, Google announced new features and expanded it to more devices. Not tried yet.
Create My Widget, the feature leading the announcement, is currently English-only and available in Australia, Canada, India, the United States and the UK. For the other features, the sources don’t establish whether they work in the UAE or in Arabic.
What’s new
- More devices: The latest features reached Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold with the November Pixel update. The first Motorola phone to support it is the motorola signature 27, with US pre-orders starting on 19 November.
- Create My Widget: Describe the widget you want in your own words, such as a panel for your next trip or a countdown to an important date, and it makes it. It can draw on Gmail, Calendar and Search. To use your personal data, you need to connect Google Workspace during setup. It works on Pixel 10 and later, excluding Pixel 10a, for people aged 18 or over. It rolls out over the coming weeks, then comes to Pixel Watch.
- Device Assistance: Ask your phone to fix or change something: free up space, tell you which apps can access your location, or silence notifications while keeping important calls coming through.
- Rambler: Speak your thoughts as they come, and it turns them into clean, organised text as you speak. It works inside Gboard and has now reached the Pixel 10 series and motorola signature 27. Usage limits apply.
- Task automation: Gemini helps you order food or book a car through selected apps. The feature is experimental, and you complete the final step, such as confirming the order. It has now expanded to the UK, India and Japan.
Why it’s worth a look
In this update, Gemini works inside the phone itself: it changes settings, creates a widget on the home screen and writes inside the keyboard.
How to start
First, check that your device is on the supported-device list (linked in the sources), that it is updated to Android 17 or later, and that Device Assistance is available in your country and language. Then start with a simple request:
Which apps have permission to access my location?
If you are in one of the five countries and Create My Widget has reached your device, write your request in English, as in Google’s example:
Countdown to my vacation on July 15
