Overview
- Google announced the super network Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026, and began a gradual rollout that enables automatic dual‑5G switching on Pixel 9 and newer phones with an active Google Fi eSIM.
- The switching is automatic only and uses “smart thresholds” and Android monitoring to move a device from a Primary to a Secondary 5G connection when performance improves.
- Google has not named the Secondary carrier partner, leaving exact coverage overlaps unclear even though Fi says subscribers keep top priority on the Primary network and high QCI priority on the backup.
- Wi‑Fi Auto Connect+ is expanding beyond Pixel to select Samsung and Motorola phones and will auto‑connect to millions of premium hotspots with built‑in encryption and international support on Flexible and Unlimited Premium plans.
- The Fi app gains a new 'Your super network' status card and an 'Ask Fi' AI chat for troubleshooting, and Google is offering limited‑time Pixel discounts and plan credits to encourage adoption.
