You could always share your location with friends, even set a timer... But nobody used it cause it was burried under Google Maps...
13:55 I'm listening to the podcast while I'm programming and out of nowhere I hear in a sexy tone "I am so exited" and my girlfriend had just walked into the room and says "Hey, what the hell are you listening to?" haha
This update is gonna be awesome
Regarding Google using Samsung phones at their Android event — I see this as a sign that Google wants to show support for their most important Android partner, rather than just pushing Pixel phones. It’s a move that signals collaboration, not competition. This also comes at a time when Samsung has finally moved away from Tizen on their smartwatches and is placing less emphasis on their own software. As a result, the partnership between Samsung and Google is becoming stronger, which they can use as a united front against Apple.
5:27 The reason is that Google cut a deal with Samsung to stop them from trying to go independent. That is, to drop the Samsung store and Bixby and stuff. Samsung was doubling down on removing their Google dependency when they announced the Pixel phones.
They have already started implementing gemini to Google home products. They added the same voices and when you ask certain things that require gemini, they play a certain tone and then it uses gemini to answer
Google is more of a software company, while Samsung is more of a hardware company. It's the perfect blend of both worlds
Would love to see an updated video where you guys reassess ChatGPT vs Gemini, seeing how Gemini is making significant improvements.
I just got the Samsung S25 Ultra cannot wait for what Samsung is gonna do with the new Android 16 update, right now I am loving what they've done with One UI 7. So simple a clean design.
Love all the new animations and microinteractions - perfect timing as im currently writing my bachelors thesis about UX Design right now :D
The upcoming native Linux terminal app is the biggest update Android has had coming in YEARS.
Google pixel phones are not widely available in other countries. It makes sense that Googlec would use Samsung for their demo.
The podcast improved so much. Way to go!
"Share my location for a set amount of hours" has been on Android for years if not decades before Apple
I definitely use Gemini live heavy. And my daughter uses it as her friend. Its insane.
They have a new process for working with the open source project, which will require them to make more frequent releases, so getting 16 and then each subsequent QPR is crucial for keeping things from falling apart.
it looks brilliant, love how they haven't made everything ios-like
The jacket Andrew is wearing honestly made me think he was wearing a Snorlax onesie
All I want in Android 16 is to be able to center-align the At-Glance and small clock widgets.
