AI competition intensifies as Google Gemini surpasses ChatGPT on app store charts, claiming the top spot in the AI category amidst the surge of the Nano Banana phenomenon.
In the ever-evolving world of technology, a new trend has emerged that's capturing the attention of users worldwide - the Google Gemini Nano Banana trend. This innovative feature, available on iOS and Android devices, is part of Google DeepMind's Gemini 2.5 Flash image generation and editing model. This trend has been actively promoted by Google to boost Gemini's downloads and usage, and it has proven to be a successful strategy. The Nano Banana trend has contributed to Gemini overtaking OpenAI's ChatGPT as the top-ranked app on the Apple App Store. So, what is the Nano Banana trend all about? It's a free feature inside the Gemini app that allows users to transform their photos into 3D figurine-style portraits. To get started, users need to upload a solo photo of themselves. They can use a popular Nano Banana prompt or ask Gemini to suggest one. The images generated by the Nano Banana tool offer realistic textures and facial accuracy, giving the results a toy-like yet lifelike feel. Once the process is complete, users can download and share their 3D figurine portrait on social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. The images are mounted on acrylic bases, adding a touch of elegance to the final product. It's worth noting that while the Nano Banana tool is free for all users, it takes a little longer to create results for free users compared to paid users. But fear not, the wait is worth it as the Nano Banana tool provides consistent, high-quality content.

So why not give it a try and see how the Nano Banana trend can transform your photo into a unique 3D figurine portrait?
