The screenshot shows how useless and unreliable is the feature. How a Google product can state that the Google pixel 9 comes with a version of Android older than 14??

I accidentally activated it and It really sucked.
First, when you invoke it, it's not listening but you have to press an additional button on the screen.
Second, it's way slower than Google assistant and it fails doing the most basic tasks
My use case: I invoke the voice assistant by double tapping on the back of my pixel, then speak without watching the screen. I exclusively use two voice commands:
- Set a timer for n minutes
- Turn off the light
So when I invoked it, need to unlock the screen, press the microphone button, say the command, wait a couple dozens of seconds , it couldn't even set a fucking timer.
In the time of that I could have saved time by just doing it manually, if anyway I am forced to interact with the screen

Wow that's a really fitting name for a copyright troll!
New elections until Maduro likes the result?
Imagine to be that unpopular that you even can't win a rigged election.
I read your quote of my post and realized to have wrote in a way that's not clear. If someone gets sponsored to become a Pixel fanboy, needs to use those two hashtags
Can't wait until it gets stuck in 2 cm of mud
There are YouTube channels/instagrammers that exclusively review sponsored products. Bigger ones like Unbox therapy, LTT shortcircuit, and so on. Never a bad word about the shitty product they're reviewing, because it's a paid ad.
Take a look by yourself. The product they're "reviewing" is clearly non functioning e-waste, yet they don't say it to make the advertiser happy.
This is a program dedicated to influencers, not reviewers. The verge, Engadget, marques, Mr mobile, they didn't sign this contract. If Google believes that the outlet is legit, they give the review device for free without the sponsorship contract.
Edit for clarity as I didn't add a paragraph between this sentence:
When the influencer that got the free phone under this ad campaign shows the phone on camera they need to flag the post with #giftfromgoogle and #teampixel - you can use that as a hint that the review is biased
It didn't appear for me until I reinstalled from play store
Didn't investigate more
big disadvantage: if installed via fdroid, it won't work on android auto
I don't see what's the problem. It's a proposal of a sponsorship with payment in nature (the expensive phones) instead of money. If the influencer disagrees, there's no problem and they can buy the phones by themselves, Google is not forced by law to send free phones to influencers.
I don't think that all those influencers are actually playing raid shadow legends or eating factor or using betterhelp.
Google is giving free review samples to real reviewers
I'm really curious about what kind of BS. Like you could search a sexy shop and have directions to go in person?
Why when I see a Volkswagen scirocco is always driven 2-3 times over the speed limit? It's 3 am where the fuck you're so hurry to go? "Oh I'm late for sleep, better drive 100 in a 40 risking killing someone"
