After months of leaks and four public betas, Android 17 is finally here. Except it isn\u2019t, really. <\/p>\n

Ignoring the fact that non-Pixel Android phone owners will be waiting months for the upgrade, Google\u2019s latest edition is about as half-baked as it gets. <\/p>\n

Hours after the official announcement, I rushed to install Android 17 on my Pixel 10 Pro XL, keen to experience the exciting new features that Google announced last month. <\/p>\n

But none of the good stuff is available yet. In fact, unless you\u2019re an influencer, there\u2019s not much that\u2019s new here at all. <\/p>\n

If you were considering being an early adopter, I honestly wouldn\u2019t bother. For most people now, Android 17 is basically just a glorified security update.<\/p>\n

Where are our agents?<\/h2>\n

Ahead of its event covering the future of Android last month, Google\u2019s Android Ecosystem President Sameer Samat teased the announcements on X as the \u201cBiggest. Android. Updates. Ever\u201d.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, a large chunk of that event was dedicated to Gemini Intelligence, its new vision for Android. It\u2019ll supposedly transform the way we interact with our phones, allowing us to hand off key tasks to AI agents that\u2019ll handle all the annoying admin in the background. <\/p>\n

For most people now, Android 17 is basically just a glorified security update<\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s reasonable to expect at least something in a full, public release of Android 17, right? Wrong. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve spent a fair bit of time exploring Android 17, and so far, I haven\u2019t seen Gemini Intelligence mentioned once. Gemini is still here, of course, but there\u2019s no reference to those potentially game-changing agentic AI features. <\/p>\n

Gemini Intelligence is nowhere to be found<\/p>\n

Google<\/p>\n

It\u2019d help if we actually had a firm release date for Gemini Intelligence. All Google is saying is that \u201cfeatures will roll out in waves\u201d and that Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones will be prioritised. <\/p>\n

As for when we\u2019ll get all the…<\/p>\n
