@chris I ❤️ my 8 Pro because I appreciate the "vanilla" Android experience without any kind of manufacturer skin. Gemini is installed but I rarely use it, and then really only for Assistant-type requests. "Call B----." "Add this to my calendar." "Send a text to H----."

@chris my 6a is nice and it's old enough that it doesn't get most of the AI features. I am hoping it lasts long enough for this current bubble to die down

@chris Keep the iPhone around for those dire moments with apps you need. Or have a throw away Google account.

@chris I go back and forth, love hate relationship with tech. Do what's best in your situation.

Same. I've an 8 Pro and if there's any AI at play during my daily use, I don't notice it.
