TL;DR

  • An Android Authority teardown has revealed that Gemini’s default voices could be discontinued.
  • Strings note that these “legacy” voice options are going away, but don’t reveal details regarding a replacement.
  • We’re guessing that a replacement will be announced at Google I/O next month.

Google’s Gemini offers a variety of voices, giving you a few options if you’re not a fan of the chatbot’s default voice. However, we’ve recently uncovered evidence that strongly suggests Google is ditching these existing options.
