Can Google Gemini Nano run on smartphones without internet?

I am not sure 100% but I think offline use is possible. But maybe some features like translation or search will still need net. Google only give some part offline to save battery.

I read in news that Google want AI work offline also. This is why Nano is small version. It can sit in Pixel phone and maybe Samsung also. Good for privacy too because data no go outside.

Yes, it can. - Offline summary - Offline reply suggestion - Offline text edit But cloud still more powerful. Nano is for light work.

Yes, Gemini Nano is designed to run inside phone itself. It is "on-device AI". This mean it can do work like summarise text, reply to message, or help writing even when internet not there. Of course, heavy things may still need cloud, but small jobs no need internet.
