Google reviewed a range of artificial intelligence updates it announced during August 2026, from Gemini 3.7 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Transcribe to integrating Gemini into Pixel 11 devices, search tools, and productivity tools. The company says the Gemini app has surpassed one billion monthly users, with use cases expanding to include programming, education, media generation, and weather forecasting.
Google introduces the Pixel 11 phones with limited design and component changes, in exchange for a major expansion of Gemini’s capabilities to perform tasks in the background, along with improvements to the camera, translation, and night photography. Prices start at $899 with 256GB of base storage, while the Pixel 11 Pro XL costs $100 more than the previous generation.
