Google announced its fall lineup of Pixel phones today: three standard phones and a second tablet-esque folding model. There are new chips, new cameras, Satellite SOS, and some notable promises, like the 9 phones being “twice as durable” as their Pixel 8 equivalents and getting seven years of updates. But as you might expect this year, they’re primarily showcases for all the things Google’s Gemini AI promises to do for you.

      I really hope the phone 3 doesn’t go this extreme with their AI

      As long as we can install Graphene, we get a clutter-free phone with plenty of RAM for other uses, and perhaps locallly run privacy friendly AI in the near future.
