I’ve never wanted to switch to a Pixel before until right now.

You don’t have to. Most of these features will hit other phones a year later or so.

If Gemini does a good job at acting as a personal secretary with knowledge from Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Drive, Keep, and Maps. I’ll actually consider paying for the service.

without prejudice, a AI system might actually be good at allowing people to practice their social and conversational skills, especially when they get to the stage of being able to mimic different personalities.

Nice but… It still has the unnatural behaviour that many or all AIs have, the parrot síndrome as I call it, I mean if I ask you “What time is it?” your answer will be…ten thirty and not “So you want to know what time is it, atm it’s ten thirty am WEST (Western European Standard Time)” or something like this

PS: So much money spent in advanced options while basic ones are left behind like if it’s going to replace G.A why doesn’t it already do at least the same as it, is it that hard to copy, is it that hard to at leas make them talk with each other, I mean if it’s taking this long for one to replace the other at least make them talk to each other or something meanwhile, I wouldn’t mind if I could at least say “Hey Gemini tell/ask G.A to turn my kitchen lights off”

The Google event was honestly a total flop. The presenters were all nervous, kept stumbling over their words, and then one of the Pixels straight up didn’t work, so they had to swap it out live. The whole thing just felt way too stiff. And don’t even get me started on the products—they’re all just screaming “AI” and desperate for attention, like they’re trying so hard to stay “innovative.” I’m so bored of all this. Seriously, could you guys shock us with something actually innovative for once? AI is super dull and usually totally unnecessary.

In all fairness, they were using the Galaxy S24 Ultras for the Gemini tests. When one failed, they switched to another Galaxy. 🤷♂

Gemini Live is a cool feature, too bad it requires Gemini Advanced to run. Yes, this it is included for a year at no extra cost if you buy a new Pixel 9 Pro, but if you read the small print it only applys to NEW users. If you already have a Google One subscription you are not among the cool ones invited to this exclusive party. You can of course, for double the money per month upgrade yourself to Google One AI Premium plan, then you are cool enough to use it.

Can you access the voices on the website with a google one premium subscription in gemini advanced or do you need the app, also has it launched in the U.K as well or just USA, I can use gemini live but can’t have a voice conversation, do you need to also have the google app from google play store for it to work, is it “built in ” to the phone and more about holding down the power button or saying hey google info , I have android 13 go with a Motorola E13 phone it doesnt work voice features not there
