Pixel phone characteristics

The company executed a limited beta version using two different models: Gemini Nano on Pixel 9 devices and automatic learning on the Pixel 6 and newer users. After the test, the company determined that using Gemini Nano was the best way to do it.
The company said that it processes the conversation on its device and that its processing is of an ephemeral nature. At any time of the conversation, you can warn users of a potential scam.
