## Summary

Google Fi is launching Super Network, which can switch compatible phones between two mobile carriers when it detects a sluggish connection. The feature aims to improve speeds and reception in congested areas or dead zones, and is included at no extra cost for customers on eligible plans.

The rollout starts on Pixel 9 and newer phones with eSIMs, with wider availability planned for 2027. Wi-Fi Auto-Connect+ will also move supported phones onto encrypted Wi-Fi where available, including in some indoor locations; both features are intended to work in more than 200 destinations. Google Fi has not named the carriers involved, and is also introducing an in-app AI support agent while retaining access to human support.
