Google announced its fall lineup of Pixel phones today: three standard phones and a second tablet-esque folding model. There are new chips, new cameras, Satellite SOS, and some notable promises, like the 9 phones being “twice as durable” as their Pixel 8 equivalents and getting seven years of updates. But as you might expect this year, they’re primarily showcases for all the things Google’s Gemini AI promises to do for you.
I just disable even majority of Google’s apps from my phone(except for Maps and Play Store). Google will then nudge people into subscribing for Gemini Advanced after purchasing a flagship Pixel.
Replace Maps with Magic Earth and/or GMaps WV and Play Store with Aurora Store. YW.
