Just over a year after its launch, Gemini is set to replace Google Assistant on Android phones later in 2025
Not mine.
Scared?
AI is trash
Then just dont use it. I don’t use it. But I wasn’t given an option to not have Gemini it just showed up.
It needs to improve a lot, I don’t think 2025 is a good fit for this change.
Oh good. Last time I checked, this thing can’t even handle “play music” and “navigate home” when I’m driving.
Has anyone tried to see if Gemini works with a wake word? What about with Bluetooth headset?
And are they gonna have Gemini upgraded to have google assistants basic functions like calling and sending messages to contacts, setting reminders and timers, and actually give a response to a question that isn’t “it’s more complicated than it seems, here’s a 5000 word essay on your extremely simple question”?
So far they haven’t gotten a single toe, let alone a step, into the right direction.
I’m on a pixel and last time I did these commands it just handed it off to assistant.
