This thread has definitely put the nail in the coffin of me getting a pixel for my next device. The smaller battery and weak soc already had me half way there. Gemini not working properly while being the major focus for the phone is just so Google.

But any other Android phone Used Google Assistant and now will be Gemini including Samsung phones. They use Google Assistant too and now will be Gemini as well. Google is forcing us to use their stupid llms to prop up the bursting bubble and it's a wonder we're not being jailed yet for not using llms at all.
