Project Fi connects to the
strongest signal from among
T-Mobile, Sprint, US Cellular,
and a number of international
partners. When the connection
from one of Google’s 1 million
trusted Wi-Fi hotspots is
stronger, the call—or webpage
or video stream—will go from
cellular to Wi-Fi completely
uninterrupted. Google hopes
other carriers will one dayadopt similar service-
jumping schemes, but for
the time being, data-hungry
consumers can try it out on
one of the company’s flagship
Nexus or Pixel phones.By XAVIER HARDING + ANDREA SMITH Photograph by SAM KAPLANPOPSCI.COM.AU 59
