A Samsung S24 Ultra user posted a detailed rant about Gemini fully replacing Google Assistant on Android. The old Assistant handled calls, alarms, texts, and searches within a second; Gemini now takes 5-10 seconds to process a 'call mom' request, ignores 30-40% of wake-word commands even after retraining voice twice, and is described as slow, unresponsive bloatware. A representative sample of the user backlash following Google's assistant switchover.
