well that that was fast...

how long until second hand market becomes viable? Xmas?

[–] cron@feddit.org 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It takes a year or so until the second hand market has plenty to offer. But already a few days after the release you can find the first offers.

is there any benefit to wait for 9 series second hand market to be competitive over buying 8 today?

[–] cron@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago

I have the Pixel 8a. For me, it's really a great phone. As far as I know, the 8a is never going to get the "Gemini AI" software due to limited memory (does not apply to 8/8pro).

Camera, performance, screen etc is mostly similar as I heard.

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Does it receive all 16GB of RAM or is the 3GB still locked away?

Is Gemini Nano supported?

[–] clmbmb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fuck Gemini. Why would you want that piece of shit on your phone?

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 6 points 1 month ago

Having recorded and summarized phone calls is a pretty damn useful feature...

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You might be able to get ollama running

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ollama doesn't do anything that Gemini Nano does.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ollama isn't a model. It is a software that allows you to run llms and query them in layer 7

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago

I didn't say it was a model. I said it doesn't even do what Gemini Nano does. Gemini Nano is not an LLM.
