Google's practices during the antitrust hearings reveal that they paid Samsung to ensure the Gemini AI app was pre-installed on Galaxy devices, undermining competition. Despite multiple antitrust lawsuits alleging monopolistic practices, Google continues to utilize such tactics to secure its market position. Testimonies indicate substantial payments to Samsung, aimed at promoting Gemini as part of One UI's core experience while potentially stifling Samsung's own AI development. The implications of these practices raise concerns about competition and innovation in the tech industry, as the final hearings approach.
Peter Fitzgerald, Google vice president of platforms and device partnerships, revealed that Google paid Samsung an enormous sum of money monthly for Gemini to be pre-installed on their devices.
The ongoing antitrust case highlights that Googleâs tactics to maintain market dominance involve significant financial payments to large companies like Samsung to prioritize their applications.
