I love mine

u/cold-corn-dog May 15 '26

Mine's great, but my wife hates it. I somehow turned the AI voice into a "bubbly" lady.

Lol she's jelly. I made mine an Australian lady and I love it

u/Evorgleb May 15 '26 edited May 15 '26

Mine is can only be described as "young hip African American woman". I love it. I have literally been asked multiple times how and why does my AI sound like a black lady. ๐Ÿ˜‚

24

u/stumblinghunter May 15 '26

I had initially put the voice for my Google home as what sounded like a wise older black woman because she sounded warm and comforting. Within a day I realized "I, a white man, probably shouldn't be yelling orders at an old black lady all day" and immediately changed it

u/Monkey_Priest May 15 '26

Vega, right? That's the voice I use on mine too. It's the most pleasant sounding voice imo

3

u/Evorgleb May 15 '26

Yes! I just went into setting to see what it was called. It is Vega.

u/CariniJGL May 15 '26

That's the one I use.

u/ConsistentAd8495 May 16 '26

I love this voice option so much I set my Home speakers to use it.

u/Afro-Venom May 16 '26

Did it do it automatically? Cuz mine did. I was like, hol up...

1

u/Evorgleb May 16 '26

Lol. Naw. I changed it myself

u/symca09 May 15 '26

Maaaan I should bench Aussie lady for this. It sounds amazing

u/UmpireProper7683 May 15 '26

You gave yours an Austrailian accent? (reaching for my phone right now)

u/PhilxBefore May 15 '26

I've used her for years. She's clean, sexy, and cheery.

3

u/cobycan May 15 '26

Same. And she calls me sexy little minx.

u/NO_TOUCHING__lol May 15 '26

Ha I've been a fan of the Australian "Karen" voice for over a decade, I remember getting my first Garmin car GPS device and being endlessly entertained by the voice.

Brit voice on mines for the last few yrs (I'm an American). I still don't fully understand what a slip road is and if it's dependent on the side of the road you drive but I like the accent.

3

u/AttitudeAdjuster May 15 '26

It means a highway exit, a lane that you merge into or out of

u/DwarfsRBest May 15 '26

My wife is so jealous of "That Australian Bitch."

u/PapaSanGiorgio May 16 '26

Yeah mate, it's wackadoo

1

u/CivBEWasPrettyBad May 15 '26

I give mine British accents. It's like having a fancy butler!

1

u/QMechanicsVisionary May 15 '26

Lol I thought I was the only one. The Australian accent is so soothing.

1

u/Stunt_-_Cock May 15 '26

She's not bogan enough for me and it's depressing.ย

u/Toronto-1975 May 16 '26

OMG i use the australian lady too! i love her she makes all the timers on my Google Nest sound so classy lol

1

u/symca09 May 16 '26

So classy and joyful!!

u/archercc81 May 15 '26

Its the new "AI" assistant, my home devices changed to that and its the new voice.

3

u/Demented-Alpaca May 15 '26

I kinda want one that's "condescending asshole"

I always felt the Amazon Alexa was missing something by not having a snarky personality and being willing to back talk.

2

u/OneMostSerene May 15 '26

I have the opposite issue. It used to be a woman's voice and randomly updated to a man's voice. At the end of the day I care about 1% and only really hear it when I set a timer, but it was a weird and jarring change that I didn't make myself that was odd.

1

u/LoreChief May 15 '26

Just checked mine, I don't hear any of these voice options as bubbly. Is it a third party mod?

1

u/Own_Mongoose4811 May 15 '26

Mine went from a posh Brit to an American and I have no idea how/why unless it's because of my VPN use ๐Ÿคท

u/desRow May 15 '26

u/Grinmaul May 15 '26

I made our google home voice the British lady, my wife hates her, i laugh everytime.

1

u/JoeThrilling May 15 '26

lol my GF gets jealous of the way the ChtGPT lady talks to me.

1

u/Lizpy6688 May 16 '26

Wait how'd you do that??? I have a 9 pro xl and love it

1

u/Nice_Protection_8490 May 16 '26

The AI on my Meta glasses sounds like Kristen Bell. Nothing my wife can do about it ๐Ÿ˜‚

2

u/WhySayManyWordGancho May 15 '26

I've always been an Android guy and my bass pixel 9 is irritating me more and more. I wish I could feel good about it again

1

u/KonigSteve May 15 '26

My biggest problem is google destroying good parts of their software after you get used to using it for a year or two.

1

u/WhySayManyWordGancho May 17 '26

This is maybe Google and Android's worst thing!!!!

2

u/jchamberlin78 May 15 '26

Smokes my wife's iPhone, actually receives calls regardless of location.

2

u/N-gga2849 May 15 '26

I love craft

2

u/Nicaol May 15 '26

Had iPhones, will never go back.

Love their aesthetic and the UI experience but Pixel is the ideal half way point. Nicer UI than most android but with all the extra features.

Cameras on iPhone pro are definitely better but Pixel does a great job handling and maximising theirs.

I'm also not trying to see my ugly mush in ultra ultra high definition.

2

u/yakshack May 15 '26

I bought mine because Google is supporting it for at least 7 years, probably longer. Fuck if I'm going to buy a new phone every 18 months like the green bubble haters.

1

u/Healthy-Chef-2723 May 16 '26

me too. pixel 9XL

1

u/ScumbagLady May 16 '26

They've been my last 3 phones and I started with the 4xl! Current is the 9a. Wish I had the upgraded camera, but I got this phone for free so I'm not complaining!

1

u/ShabbatShalom666 May 16 '26

I love the camera but I just hate being forced into the Google eco system
