Can I run Nemotron Nano 9B v2 on Google Pixel 10 Pro?
Yes. Nemotron Nano 9B v2 runs on Google Pixel 10 Pro at Q4_K_M (~7.6 GB of ~10.5 GB usable).
Runs at Q4_K_M using ~7.6 GB of ~10.5 GB usable. You have room for Q8_0 for higher quality.
That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes. Google Pixel 10 Pro leaves ~2.9 GB of headroom, room to step up to Q8_0 for higher quality.

Which quant fits
Running cost · estimate
- Power draw
- ~7 W
- Electricity / 1M tokens
- ~$0.05
- Pays for itself after
- ~2,220M tok
At ~$0.15/kWh and the estimated ~6 tok/s, a million generated tokens costs about $0.05 in electricity. Versus a hosted API at ~$0.5 per million tokens, the ~$999 Google Pixel 10 Pro pays for itself after roughly 2,220 million tokens, so local hardware is mostly a fixed cost, not a per-token one. TDP is the peak draw, so this is an upper bound. Assumptions.
How to run it
On Android use PocketPal AI (Polished app, download GGUF and run offline.).

FAQ
Can Google Pixel 10 Pro run Nemotron Nano 9B v2?
Yes. Nemotron Nano 9B v2 runs on Google Pixel 10 Pro at Q4_K_M (~7.6 GB of ~10.5 GB usable).
How much memory does Nemotron Nano 9B v2 need?
Google Pixel 10 Pro has room to spare. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~6.08 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~7.6 GB at a 4k context.
What is the best tool to run Nemotron Nano 9B v2 on Android?
On Android, PocketPal AI (Polished app, download GGUF and run offline.) is the go-to option. NPU acceleration is limited and chip-specific; most apps run on CPU. Expect 1B-4B class.

Weights are measured from GGUF files; KV cache and overhead are computed, so totals can vary ~15% with context and runtime. Any tok/s is a bandwidth estimate. See methodology.
