Google dialer app comes on almost every Android phone


After expanding to a few models that seemingly random earlier this year, the Google Phone Dialer app is expanding to more Android smartphones. With its latest beta, it seems to work on almost all devices.

Via the Play Store, the Google Phone app can now be installed on Android smartphones from Samsung to OnePlus and everything in between, if Android Police spotted. On my account, loaded with review units, there is not a single smartphone i can not install the app on.

This is the same dialer app that is available and pre-loaded on Google’s Pixel smartphones, complete with the same interface, but without most of the features that make it so good on Pixels. You will not find a Call Screen here, which is easily one of the best parts of Pixel phones, and other recent additions not to be seen on my Note 20 Ultra that runs the app as well.

It’s unclear what changed and open access to other Android phones, but we do not complain either. Google’s dialer has a clean and intuitive design, so it’s just fun to have it as an option on other Android devices.

What is the catch? For unknown reasons, the app does not appear in Google Play searches on these newly added devices. To access it, you need to click on a direct link like this. As a reminder, this initially only seems to work on the beta.
