In Vinay’s latest newsletter, he asks a few of us #AndroidDev to predict what the future of Android development is going to look like.

Yours truly had this as one of the predictions:

AI everything 🙄 … On the product side, we’ll see more on-device AI, with smaller models like Gemini Flash/o3-mini running locally to provide operator-like intelligence directly on phones and this will probably be what most folks are geared towards doing for mobile development.

Looking at this Youtube video that’s now doing the rounds, I’m starting to feel ever so slightly validated.

Google (or Samsung) truly have their shot of gaining significant Mobile market share again, especially given how much Apple has been floundering in the AI space.
