Google’s Scam Detection feature, initially exclusive to Pixel devices, is gradually making its way to a wider array of Android smartphones. Currently, it is available on the Galaxy S26 series, and indications suggest that it may soon be introduced to vivo phones as well. Recent findings indicate that Xiaomi, another major player in the smartphone market, could be the next beneficiary of this feature.
Expansion of Scam Detection
In a recent examination of the latest public beta of the Google Phone app (version 237.0.973536915), evidence emerged pointing to the inclusion of Xiaomi in the list of manufacturers supporting Scam Detection. This development hints at a promising expansion for users of Xiaomi devices, although specifics regarding which models will first receive the feature remain uncertain.
The Xiaomi 18 Fold, which made its debut at IFA 2026, stands out as a potential candidate for the initial rollout. However, given that this model is currently confirmed for release only in China, it is likely that the first global Xiaomi flagship will be prioritized for the feature’s introduction.
Google’s Scam Detection operates through advanced on-device AI, analyzing incoming calls to identify potential scams. While still in beta and not without its flaws, the feature holds promise for enhancing user security by providing alerts for suspicious calls. As Google continues to refine this technology, users can anticipate a more reliable experience in the near future.
As the landscape of Android devices evolves, we will monitor the Google Phone app for updates on additional manufacturers that may soon adopt this valuable feature, ensuring that users remain informed about the latest advancements in mobile security.
