- The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 both support Gemini Nano, the lightweight version of Google’s Gemini LLM that runs on-device.

Throughout 2023 and 2024, the generative AI hype train has fully taken hold of the tech world, for better or worse. Practically every publicly traded company is trying to incorporate some form of generative AI into its products, and there’s no shortage of models and services to choose from. Gemini, Google’s family of large language models (LLMs) and AI chatbots, is one of the top contenders in this space, and Google is leveraging its control over Android to bring its technology to as many people as possible.
Gemini Nano, the most lightweight version of the Gemini LLM that’s optimized to run on mobile devices, made its debut on the Google Pixel 8 Pro in late 2023. In 2024, it made its way over to the Samsung Galaxy S24 series and later the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8a, although on the latter two devices, it’s only available as a developer preview. With the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 last month, Google expanded Gemini Nano to foldables for the first time. Here’s a look at what AI features are powered by Gemini Nano on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6.
