Today is perhaps the most important launch of the year for Google. Gemini is the company’s new artificial intelligence, which will replace Bard on the web and Google Assistant on Android; and from today, begins operating in Europe and in Spanish.
After launching on the web, Gemini will expand to all Google products. The message is clear: ChatGPT may have got ahead of Google in offering generative AI for the general public, but the big G has the advantage of Android and its presence on millions of mobile phones. The Gemini application will therefore be crucial for the success of this AI, and we can already use it in Europe.
Although Gemini is not yet available on the Play Store, and therefore cannot be officially downloaded on Android phones, the .apk file is now available for download on the usual pages. However, until now this was not of much use, since the application only worked in English and if accessed from English-speaking countries like the United States. This has changed today, and early users are already enjoying Gemini in Spanish.

To install Gemini on our Android mobile we will first have to download the .apk file from a third-party page such as APKMirror. Once downloaded, we must open it, although our system may warn us that it is not safe, due to security measures against “malware”. Once installed, Gemini will not only appear with a new icon on our home screen, but It will also replace Google Assistant.
In fact, if we install Gemini, we will have to say goodbye to the traditional Google Assistant; an important detail, since Gemini is not yet capable of doing some of the things that the assistant could do. More specifically, some of the smart home features They are not yet available on Gemini.

In addition to a new icon, Gemini appears on our Android mobile when we call the Google Assistantwith a new pop-up, and there is no way to relaunch the Assistant app.
In exchange for losing these features, Gemini is far superior to Google Assistant in everything else; This is a much more advanced AI, capable of better understanding what we want and generate appropriate responsesalthough we don’t have Gemini Pro, the paid version.

It’s also multimodal, meaning it accepts both written text and audio, and we can even share a photo for it to generate a response using it as context. Gemini even appears in other apps; Just hold down the power button when we use an app call Gemini, who will be able to take what we see as context to answer our questions.
