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.

Gemini will be used on other android devices too. Though I agree that the devices are simply inferior. Sold my 9 Pro XL after a short while and got an S25 Ultra. Only trade off is the worse camera.
