Google has announced that Gemini 2.0 Flash is now the default mobile app for Android users, providing twice the speed of its predecessor, Gemini 1.5 Pro. The company launched a preview version of Gemini 2.0 Flash in December and has since made it the default, offering faster responses and improved performance.
For those who don’t want to use the new version, they can still switch to 1.5 Pro for “the next few weeks.” However, this change brings significant benefits, including enhanced research capabilities, analysis of large documents, and integration with other Google apps.
Gemini Advanced subscribers have exclusive access to Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental, an advanced model designed for complex tasks and providing better factuality and performance. This new model is available for a limited time and may have unexpected behaviors or make mistakes.
While the update brings many benefits, it also means that some users may experience changes in compatibility with certain features. Nevertheless, Google’s goal is to provide rapid iteration and bring the best of Gemini to its users through experimental launches and feedback.
