AI is the ONLY reason to upgrade your phone in 2024

But it's a Google phone. Isn't "Google" synonymous with "invasion of privacy"?

Still don't trust it, on device or not, nothing to stop them from updating the phone to send all that local data back to the mothership.

AI is always the double edged sword, isn't it. Once the technology is in full deployment, we'll never know what is real and what isn't. Are we already at that point?

But how does it address privacy with all the AI? Browser fingerprinting with AI is a bit scary and Google is notorious with their data use, retention, and privacy policies.

Would actively avoid it! (like all things Google now)

Don't want any device with AI BS, including the latest TV's. I'd sooner do without.

I'd much rather they jammed new phones with an SD card slot and a headphone jack. That said, I do appreciate that you can remove the unattended bag before security has to come and investigate.

I remember getting my first smart phone and my daughter said "nice phone, it can do this and this and that and this". She listed around 10 things and not one was about making a phone call 🤔

Great! To me the coolest feature was the service desk calls handled by the AI. Let's say you're working from home and you have a local network outage. You wanna call support, but the outage is affecting the whole area, so waiting times are going to be long. You don't wanna keep listening and focusing on the call until someone from support picks up, you want to set up a hotspot for your laptop and be able to continue your work while waiting for someone to answer and be warned by the phone when an agent picked up the call. I don't know, sounds good on paper, but I don't know how well it would work for non-english speaking countries. I know AI is multilingual, but still...

I'd like a phone that the gov can't spy on you ? 😎

Nothing is real anymore. And the last type of phone I would own is a Snoople.

I can see how these features are useful, but I personally prefer a more powerful device that gives me more precision. Another issue is that while these phones are very powerful, a lot of the AI tasks require your internet connection where it sends the photo or text to Google's servers to do the effects there before sending it back to you. It's not a minor issue because AI data centers are incredibly taxing on the power grids as all the major tech companies and their brothers are getting into the industry. I'd like to see phones take a different direction, more personalized, efficient, and completely offline, trainable AI. That would be impressive.

Thank you for showing these features.

I’m not doing it! Bought a 1997 Toyota, use an old DSLR, got a candybar phone & Linux laptop. Life is good now

The best thing about Pixles is that you can flash custom ROM to it

Thanks mate Respect from Oz 🇦🇺

Going back to a Flipper next week !😁👍🏻

AI is cool, yet terrifying.
