But users quickly countered him saying Google Pixel smartphones already deliver much of that functionality. In post on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Gerber wrote that Starlink has an opportunity to create \u201ctruly great AI phone\u201d built around satellite connectivity, exceptional battery life, and an AI-first operating system. \u201cTell the phone what you want it to do and it does it for you,\u201d he said, before asking: \u201cWho will make a real AI phone first?\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Google Pixel users push back<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>When one pointed out that Google Pixel smartphones already offer Gemini-powered voice commands and satellite communication features, Gerber dismissed the claim. \u201cYou can tell if you want a pizza from Prince Street at 6 p.m. and it happens? No,\u201d he replied.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Pixel owners argued that Gemini can already handle most of the workflow Gerber described \u2014 opening food delivery apps, locating restaurants, adding items to a cart, and navigating the ordering process. The only step requiring user input is payment authorization, a safeguard against unintended purchases.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Google\u2019s AI-first pixel strategy<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Google has heavily promoted AI across its latest Pixel lineup. The Pixel 10, powered by the Tensor G5 chip, runs advanced Gemini AI experiences directly on-device.
