Its great if you are in the market for a new Android device and are ready to buy. With all the new features coming to market its like being a kid in a candy store. But what about the rest of us who are happy with our Android devices but still want some of the new candy being offered.
Well, Google is hinting at brining their AI Assistant toward a current Android mobile devices. They've begun testing (Alpha) versions with some of their beta testers to see how its working. Testers are running into some issues where its just not working on their devices. But users carrying devices from the Nexus 6P to Alcatel's Idol 4S have had success with the beta.
"The alpha also includes a recent topics section that revisits recent searches, previously mentioned support for payments (not that it's useful without providers) and a data-saving Lite mode that optimizes pages.
It's going to be a while before you see an official rollout when the app isn't even in beta. You may have to wait weeks or months before there's a version you can reliably use. However, the very fact that wider Assistant support is present at all is important -- it shows that Google wants to broaden access fairly quickly."
