I’m waiting for this killer Android 17 feature, but my phone might never get it

I’ve seen Google Pixel-first rollouts in the Android ecosystem for years. It’s taught me not to expect much from major software releases.

Yet, I always find one unique feature and make it the center of my attention. This time, with the Android 17 update, Rambler is my focus.

The marketing pitch is that it’s a lifesaver for anyone who takes forever to get to the point.

Initially, I watched Google unveil it with interest at the Android Show: I/O Edition. That is, until I saw Gemini Intelligence’s requirements.

Now, I have this sinking feeling that my Android phone is about to be left out again. I may have to make peace with it.
