There are two reasons I went from Samsung to pixel and will never go back: 1) Google call screening 2) no bixby

Thankfully on my older Samsung A40, Bixby can be (and has been) completely disabled with a single tick box

I went from Pixel to S22. Damn I miss the call screening.

I must have disabled Bixby when I setup my phonw though, as I've never seen anything from it.

Behind camera performance, this is my top pixel must have. Screens spam. Screens hidden numbers. Even screens numbers you've never talked to before, which really pays off with all the spoofed number scam calls.

Everyone I know gets at least one call per day. I get MAYBE one per month that slips through.

Guess this shows how sad my life is as without any call screening at all, I don't get any scam / spam / unwanted calls, hell I hardly even get any calls / texts at all. If my phone rings once a month it's unusual and 99% of my texts are automated credit card notifications regards the monthly amount about to be taken from my bank, or notifications from the chemist regards my meds

Your phone provider might be providing spam blocking services instead

There is a similar function on Samsung phones. I have it on my S22

Siri IS garbage! I will say that Alexa is better than Google home speakers though

And, what measurable difference do you perceive with the Google page instead?
