After hitting the Google app beta channel on Monday, access to 2.0 Flash Experimental in the Gemini app on Android is now rolling out to stable users.
The Gemini app is powered by the Google (Search) app on Android. Version 15.50 is now rolling out to the stable channel via the Play Store.
If you don’t immediately see the model switcher/dropdown at the top of the Gemini homepage after updating, Force stop the Google/Gemini app from the App info page.
2.0 Flash access is available to both free Gemini and Advanced users on Android. The model picker shows an “Upgrade” promo for the subscription. Your choices are:
- 1.5 Pro: Tackle complex tasks
- 1.5 Flash: Get everyday help
- 2.0 Flash Experimental: Preview our latest experimental model
The Gemini app notes that 2.0 Flash Experimental “Might not work as expected,” while file upload is not currently available for any tier. Gemini 2.0 Flash “outperforms 1.5 Pro on key benchmarks” at twice the speed. In the Gemini app, this new model results in an “even more helpful Gemini assistant.” 2.0 Flash will see general availability for developers in January, and more model sizes are coming.
While we’re excited for you to try it, remember it’s an early preview and might not work as expected. Additionally, some Gemini features won’t be compatible with this model in its experimental state.
Google updated the Gemini app on iPhone with 2.0 Flash access yesterday. Mobile users should also be on the lookout for Deep Research access early next year.
