Google Fi Wireless has introduced its Super Network feature, enabling automatic switching between two major 5G networks for improved connectivity. The initial rollout supports Pixel 9 and newer devices operating on an eSIM, alongside an expansion of Wi-Fi Auto Connect+ to additional phone brands and the debut of an AI support assistant.

Google Fi has launched automatic cellular switching between two major 5G networks, utilizing Android's Multiple Enabled Profiles eSIM technology to move between primary and secondary networks when signal quality warrants it.
The network switching feature initially requires a Pixel 9 or newer smartphone with an active Google Fi eSIM and no other active SIM card, with broader device support planned for 2027.
Google has expanded its encrypted Wi-Fi Auto Connect+ system beyond Pixel hardware to select Samsung Galaxy and Motorola devices, allowing automatic connectivity at designated public venues.
The Google Fi companion application has introduced an AI-driven troubleshooting tool named Ask Fi, which provides automated answers while retaining chat context for live human support transfers.
A dedicated interface card in the mobile application displays network switching history, current carrier status, and nearby compatible public Wi-Fi networks.
