GoKawiilGoogle Fi launches Super Network to auto-switch carriers on Pixel phones
Google Fi has begun rolling out a Super Network feature that automatically switches a phone between two carriers when it detects weak or congested service, starting with Pixel 9 and later models using eSIMs. The company also introduced Wi-Fi Auto-Connect+, which switches devices to encrypted Wi-Fi indoors, available on select Pixel, Motorola and Samsung phones across the US, Europe, Asia and Brazil.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By not naming the second carrier, Google Fi keeps its network partnerships flexible, though past deals suggest T-Mobile is likely involved. Bundling these features free with Unlimited Premium and Flexible plans could make Fi more competitive against larger carriers that charge extra for similar connectivity perks, especially for international travelers who get coverage in over 200 destinations.
- Super Network auto-switches carriers on Pixel 9+ phones with eSIMs to improve speed and reception.
- Wi-Fi Auto-Connect+ boosts indoor connectivity on select Pixel, Motorola and Samsung devices with automatic encryption.
- Both features are free for Unlimited Premium and Flexible plan customers and work in over 200 international destinations.
Google Pixel 9 Pro — Since Google Fi's new super network feature requires a Pixel 9 or above with eSIM support, the Pixel 9 Pro is the ideal phone to take full advantage of automatic carrier switching and Wi-Fi Auto-Connect+. It's also Google's flagship device, so you get top-tier cameras and performance alongside the best possible connectivity experience on Fi.
