After a week with the Galaxy S25 Plus, it's starting to give me Pixel vibes


The Galaxy S25 Plus is starting to feel like a Pixel phone, in the best way possible.

While I don't care for this method of evoking an AI assistant (it's a power button, let's keep it that way), it emphasizes Samsung and Google's strong partnership to bring the latest and greatest of Gemini first to the Galaxy S25 series. In my limited use of Audio Eraser on some videos I took over New Year's Eve with another phone, the feature works shockingly well, removing very loud music so that I could only hear my voice in the clips. Now Bar acts like a bottom-mounted Dynamic Island, which shows music controls, timers, live sports scores, and even Google Maps directions.
