Google Gemini vs Google Assistant - Which One Is Better? (Tested On The Pixel 8 Pro)

hello everyone and welcome to the channel in today's video I will do a side by-side comparison between Google assistant and Gemini to see which one is better in basic moderate and complicated commands both assistants will run on the pixel 8 Pro to ensure consistency so without further do let's jump in first things first I will give a point to each assistant for providing the correct answer and if both did it correctly I will give extra half a point for the better outcome and now let's start with the First Command set a timer for 5 minutes second timer for 5 minutes starting now okay 5 minutes starting now start the stop P start and this command Google Assistant opened the right app but it didn't start the stopwatch for some reason and I tried few times but with no joy in contrast Gemini said that it cannot control apps like stopwatch which is weird as it was able to set set a timer just fine so both failed to do a very simple task set the alarm at 7 a.m. you got it your alarm's set for 7: a.m. all right your alarm's set for 700 a.m. turn off Bluetooth turning Bluetooth off turning Bluetooth off take a selfie in 10 seconds all right get ready okay take a portrait photo in 10 seconds got it get ready turn off auto brightness turning adaptive brightness off turning adaptive brightness off convert 179 cm to in 179 cm is equal to 70472 in sure 179 cm is equal to 70.4 47 in cm in 179 7.47 convert $200 to AED $200 equal 734 United Arab Emirates deham and 58 fils multiply 5 by 6 the answer is 30 subtract 5 the answer is 25 divide by two the answer is 15 I was shock that Google Assistant gave the wrong answer in this command it ignored that I subtracted five from the original number before the division and gave me 15 in instead of 12.5 but what I liked is I didn't need to touch the screen even once thanks to the continued conversation feature and it was faster in contrast I had to tap the mic with every command while using Gemini it was much slower but it gave me the correct answer at the end reply Happy Valentine's Day who do you want to message who do you want to message in this command Gemini used Google assistant and both responded the same exact way which is incorrect and this is the second time Google Assistant makes an unexpected mistake which is driving me crazy as I tried all of these commands in my previous videos and it used to work just fine plus this is not one of the 17 removed features Google announced earlier this year send a message to my UAE number what's the message message Hi how are you today sending your message to my UAE number saying Hi how are you today all right what's the message Hi how are you today sending your message saying Hi how are you today send a voice message to Imad uee on WhatsApp just so you know audio messaging will no longer be available starting at the end of February H I'm not seeing that name what's the spelling e m a d which a mod the second one all right what do you want to say hi how are you today ready to send it yes sending your message H I'm not seeing that name what's the spelling e m a d which aad Imad UE e so that's a message to Imad UAE saying them voice message ready to send it no what's the new message send a voice message I got send a voice message ready to send it cancel all right this command was even more weird both used Google Assistant but responded differently the original Google Assistant did the command properly but it reminded me that this feature will be discontinued while Gemini and assisted to send a normal text message without mentioning that this feature is no longer available navigate to the nearest gas station okay chill out Gas Station vone 2 let's go sure here are driving directions to the nearest gas station it will take 3 minutes to get there both got the correct answers but Google Assistant did navigate to the gas station right away which is more useful while in jimini I had to tap the screen to start the navigation so half a point extra to Google Assistant how long does it take to Mall of Arabia by car with light traffic it will take you 20 minutes to get to the mall of Arabia by car it should take about 20 minutes to get to the mall of Arabia by car turn off the air purifier in 10 minutes got it I'll turn off the living room air purifier at 3:34 a.m. all right I'll turn off the living room air purifier at 1:50 a.m. start my bedtime routine what time should I set the alarm for cancel no problem no new alarm set good night play relaxing music playing relaxing remind me to call my friend tomorrow morning sure I'll remind you on Thursday at 8:00 a.m. remember that I owe my friend $200 okay I'll remember that what do you remember for me here's what you told me remember that my parking location is B7 level two okay I'll remember you park B7 level two I'll also save a map of your current location where did I park my car you told me you parked B7 level 2 you were near here at the time add bread milk and the cheese to my shopping list sure I added those three things to the list called shopping when it comes to reminders Gemini is useless and it couldn't process any of my commands plus it didn't even trigger Google Assistant as it usually does in these situations read my notifications you've got new messages from Ahmad husian and backend user partner validation the first one is from Ahmad husian on WhatsApp business you've got new messages from Ahmad husian and back end user partner validation the first one is from Ahad husian on WhatsApp business here both did exactly the same thing only reading the new messages and ignoring all other apps Show me the actors of The Godfather movie here's what I found on the web who's the director The Godfather was directed by Francis Ford Copa what's the year of production 1972 here are some of the main actors in The Godfather father movie Marlon Brando as Don VTO corleon the Aging patriarch of the corleon who's the director what's the year of production show me the top rated pizza restaurants nearby I found a few top rated places near you the first one Pizza Cottage here you go what's the working hours there are a few locations here are their business hours for today navigate which do you want the first one all right pizza Cottage the first one what's the working hours navigate I just wanted to let you know that it took me 1 minute and 20 seconds to finish this command on Gemini without fast forward which is way too much plus it didn't navigate automatically while Google Assistant took 40 seconds and did everything without touching the phone so half a point x to Google Assistant for starting the navigation on its own show me my bour Khalifa photos start a voice recording all right get ready got it read this article Google Gemini can now create images from text in this command Google assistant is started to read immediately while in Gemini you must tap the add this screen button and then say read this article which is a longer process and gini is much slower too so half a point extra to Google Assistant now let's try some complicated and less frequent commands that should give the edge to Gemini and see how Google Assistant will respond to this flights to Spain best timing average hotel prices and things to do flights from Cairo to Spain leaving March 2nd and coming back March 6th start at 8,935 sure here's a guide to help you plan your trip to Spain best time to visit Spain shoulder Seasons April to May and September to October I asked a long list of related questions to plan my trip Google Assistant only provided the flights information while Gemini answered all the questions but it had a technical issue that didn't allow it to get the flights information even when I tapped on try again without extensions nothing changed but this issue doesn't happen all the time plus it provided me with images and more so the wind goes to Gemini and the Google assistant is not designed for this type of questions back pack hiking checklist here are some results from the web while Google Assistant did answer correctly but again Gemini gave me a better experience in terms of details and how things are visually more pleasing to go through so half a point extra to Gemini tell me the time to leave to reach Mall Of Arabia by 5 a.m. with light traffic it will take you 20 minutes to drive to the mall of Arabia in this command Google Assistant just told me how long it's going to take to reach my destination which gets the job done while and I give me the time to leave which is exactly what I asked for but for some reason the time was incorrect it says 1:53 a.m. which is more than 3 hours before 5 a.m. and the destination is only 18 minutes away I tried the same question in my previous video and it gave me the correct answer so it's not consistent and you need to be careful as it doesn't always provide the right information in this case I will give the point to Google Assistant as Gemini's wrong answer defeats the purpose show me all the emails for from Fitbit in my inbox in this command Google Assistant added the primary label at the end of the search query so it didn't return any results by manually removing the primary label from the search Fitbit emails started to show up on the other hand Gemini gave me a summary of the email subjects which is nice but it only showed 20 messages while in reality I have 76 emails based on my manual count as shown now on the screen so I will give the point to Gemini aside from the incorrect count for at least showing the information and a summary while Google Assistant didn't handle this one properly create a cover letter template for a customer service manager job according to resum maker. I am writing to apply for the customer service manager position at XYZ company sure here's a cover letter template for a customer service manager job write an email to help disk to report that the admin panel doesn't load showing a plank page here's some results from a search when it comes to writing emails Google Assistant doesn't support this functionality but you can rely on a separate feature in Gmail called help me write to achieve this plus Gemini responses can be modified using five different writing styles like longer simpler more casual or more professional so the point goes to Gemini generating photos is another advantage that goes to Gemini while the best thing you can do with Google assistant is to get web results that matches your command which is not ideal in this scenario so another point to Gemini moving to identifying objects both work pretty much the same way in Google Assistant you need to show the photo and then tap the search screen button which uses Google Lens while in Gemini you tap on add this screen and then say the command in this scenario Gemini is better as it provides more details while Google Assistant does a basic search so half a point extra to Gemini in identifying products specifically Google Lens integration in Google assistant is much more accurate than in this example I was able to get the exact same switch shirt online while Gemini gave me totally different options from the same brand and that's always the case based on my testing so in this scenario the point goes to Google Assistant last but not least the offline support Google Assistant supports offline commands like starting the timer change your phone settings and more while Gemini requires internet connection regardless the command which gives the edge to Google assistant so these are all the commands I want wanted to try and now let's sum up everything if I'm going to choose between the two definitely Google assistant is the way to go for many reasons first it's much better in the normal day-to-day usage it's faster and has offline support while Gemini is more useful in the less frequent things like writing emails creating templates or generating images so I will use it as an app for these rare situations at least for now up until Google optimizes things for all use cases so that's pretty much it for today that was my comp compon between Google assistant and Gemini please let me know in the comments what do you think but for now thanks so much for watching and see you in the next video
