I think Sony is one of the few major (in terms of brand name recognition) manufacturers that is yet to jump on the AI hype train. It has the standard Android stuff like Gemini, but hasn’t done much else. Other than that, all I can really think of are smaller manufacturers like Fairphone that don’t have the resources to develop anything themselves. All the major Chinese brands are full of this stuff, as are companies like Nothing and Motorola which took a while to get there.
Fuck. I swapped not that long ago because I was tired of Samsung’s bullshit. Guess I’ll swap again to something else when this phone starts to die.
Pixels are pretty easy to get custom ROMs on. I’m sure you can find something that doesn’t include this.
For now. Google didn’t release the Pixel-specific stuff with the Android 16 release.
I can highly recommend GrapheneOS!
Aren’t Pixels already filled with AI? Why is this the thing that tips you over the edge?
When I swapped, Gemini wasn’t being shoved down our throats.
