Nano Banana 2 is a combination of the original Nano Banana and the Pro version that followed a few months later. It's essentially Nano Banana Pro at faster speeds, as noted in Google's announcement, though Nano Banana Pro is also sticking around for those on Plus, Pro, and Ultra plans for situations where detail and accuracy matters more than speed.

Nano Banana 2 has inherited much of the feature-set of Nano Banana Pro, bringing with it advanced world knowledge (so you can add in real time information like weather forecasts), and accurate and legible text (often a failing of early AI image models). Google is also talking up its subject consistency, ability to follow detailed instructions, aspect ratio and resolution control, and visual fidelity.

As always, generated pictures will be marked with Google's SynthID technology that tags images as AI-made.
For paying users, Nano Banana Pro remains available, though Nano Banana 2 will be the default. That shows that Pro is still slightly better (if slower), and Google talks about it being more suitable for "high-fidelity tasks requiring maximum factual accuracy" and where "additional detail" is required.
Testing Nano Banana 2

Credit: LifehackerTO start, select Create image in the Gemini app and you'll see there's a new template feature available: You can pick from presets like Gothic clay or Oil painting and then add to the prompt, or just type out a prompt from scratch as normal. As before, you can also create a starting image (or multiple images) for Gemini to work from, via the + (plus) button.
The Pro version is a little better to my eyes here. (Nano Banana 2 on the left, Nano Banana Pro on the right.) Credit: LifehackerIn one of my tests, I asked Gemini to produce a papercraft style weather forecast for New York—making use of image generation, real time information, and text rendering—and it completed the task well, using both Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro. The two models came up with quite different but equally high-quality results. As expected, the Pro model offered slightly more detail.

These models aren't perfect. Words are occasionally misspelled, the physics of images are occasionally wonky (AI still can't faithfully recreate the real world), and these graphics still have the generic feel of something that's been trained on lots and lots of previous content, rather than something that's actually original.
How Nano Banana 2 compares to Nano Banana Pro

Credit: LifehackerAfter plenty of test runs, it feels as though the biggest gain right now is in the way Gemini can pull information from the web (like weather conditions or specific details) to create imagery. These models are also getting better at working in different styles, and leaving behind fewer and fewer giveaways that the pictures were made by AI. How you feel about that will vary from person to person, of course.
