Google App v6.13 MAY bring Google Assistant to non-Pixels

Google smartphones phones, Pixel and Pixel XL has so far officially been enjoying the app Google called Google Assistant (GA).

However, report from android police says the new alpha release of the Google app (v6.13) seems to be working on devices that aren't supposed to have Google Assistant yet. The screenshots below were taken on a Nexus 6P (running Android 7.1.1) and a Samsung Galaxy Note5 (running Android 6.0.1).

Features: According to Android Police report, the version enables some features that had previously been seen in testing like a page of recent search topics and lite mode. There is also a process to add payment information for use with Google Assistant.

Process of Activating the GA app: After installing v6.13, the Google Assistant can be enabled by holding the Home button as if to launch Now on Tap. A dialog will be displayed with the message "New! You just got the Google Assistant" and begin the setup process for voice training.

 Then again, another Nexus 6P refuses to behave this way, so it's only down to speculation what set of conditions need to be met.
