The Google assistant will not reach tablets
Table of contents:
Confirmed: Tablet users are going to have to make do with the Google Now assistant. And it is that the Californian company has confirmed that its Google Assistant will not be offered on tablets When the original announcement was made, in October 2016, it was warned: « Google Assistant is coming to smartphones running Android 6 Marshmallow or Android 7 Nougat." Wise choice of words.
Even so, until this confirmation, there were still some who hoped that this wizard could be updated to be available on different models tablet.Those hopes have just vanished: any device larger than 7 inches will have to forget about this tool.
Definitive decision?
Everything seems to indicate yes, but as often happens with these things, you never know. Google was not very convinced of its experience with its Nexus tablets For this reason, we doubt that they will repeat the experience with the Pixel range. And that would be the only reason to delay the release of your assistant to tablets.
The implementation of the Google assistant in Android mobiles, however, is going from strength to strength. The first to receive it (after the Pixel, of course), was the LG G6. Later, other terminals have been arriving such as the Moto Z, LG V20, Sony Xperia X or the Nokia 6 And it seems that the list has only just begun.
Artificial intelligence only for smartphones
Google Assistant still has no competition, since Apple's Siri belongs to another operating system. However, Samsung will once again be the bone of contention within Android by announcing its own assistant,Bixby. This assistant will surely be released together with the Galaxy S8, and then we will know if it will also be available for tablets.
One thing is certain: between the increasing sizes of mobile screens, and news like this, every time it seems worse business to buy a tablet .
