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.
