Even in areas that seem abundant with overlapping cellular coverage, phones sometimes sputter when you’re looking up information or trying to get directions when your carrier’s signal gets weak. To avoid those annoying interruptions, Google Fi Wireless is rolling out what it’s calling a “super network” feature. It automatically switches your phone between two 5G networks to maintain the best connection.
The new capability works only on Google’s phones, starting with the Pixel 9 and newer Pixel models.
The super network is included free for existing Google Fi customers on all of its plans: Flexible, Unlimited Essentials, Unlimited Standard and Unlimited Premium.
Google says that it’s using “two top 5G networks,” but the company is refusing to reveal which networks those are in the US.
