So, Sundar Pichai, the big cheese over at Google, has a crystal ball, and it’s telling him that phones are still the VIPs of tech parties for at least the next couple of years. Amidst the hype around shiny new gadgets like AI-powered glasses that may or may not make you look like a cyborg, Pichai says your trusty ol’ smartphone will remain the star of the show.
During Alphabet’s Q2 2025 earnings call (yes, the financial equivalent of a TED Talk), he confirmed that phones will still sit squarely at the center of our tech experience for the foreseeable future. So if you’ve got those pixels on speed dial, you’re not alone—no need to ditch your device just yet. It seems there’s still some juice left in the classic smartphone lemons, and Pichai’s not ready to trade them in for the latest ‘cool’ tech accessory just yet.
But hey, it’s not like we’re immune to change. Mobile technology is evolving at lightning speed, and Pichai recognizes the incoming wave of new gadgets. However, he suggests we should cherish our phones for a few more years—like an old friend that just won’t leave the couch, but you kind of love them anyway.
So, while we look ahead to a world potentially dominated by futuristic eyewear (which may just serve as a stylish way to ignore everyone in person), remember: your phone isn’t going extinct—at least not for a little while. And frankly, who wouldn’t want to continue hitting ‘scroll’ on the latest TikTok dances?
What do you think? Are you ready to embrace new gadgets, or are you a loyal phone-hugger for life?
