Important:
- Runtime/model downloads are required during first setup
- Feature availability depends on device RAM, Android compatibility, permissions, and supported hardware
- Performance depends on RAM, CPU/GPU, available storage, and model size
- Some internet-based tools, such as weather, news, Wikipedia/knowledge, and model downloads, require network access
- Smart home features require supported local devices and correct local network setup
- On-device AI responses may be incomplete or incorrect
- Memory items such as reminders, birthdays, and anniversaries may not always be detected perfectly
- OCR translation depends on image quality, lighting, font, and layout
- Voice input and wake-word detection may vary by microphone quality, noise, accent, and device performance
- Voice output may sound unnatural for very short phrases in some languages
