T-Mobile’ Samsung devices will soon start using various Google services by default

Recently, Google and T-Mobile announced that T-Mobile’s carrier-locked Android smartphones will showcase Google’s services instead of less-well-supported services from the carrier or manufacturer in the US.

The list of Google’s native services includes Android Messages with RCS, YouTube TV, Google One as the default backup service, and more support and sales of Google hardware like the Pixel.

Talking about Samsung, the Galaxy devices use the Samsung Messages app which comes pre-loaded with the phones and tablets. Besides, the international Galaxy S21 models adopt Google Messages while the US versions are still using the company’s own messaging application.

With the partnership between two major companies, Samsung smartphones and tablets sold by T-Mobile will also start using Google’s native Messages app that also features RCS support and better privacy compared to others. Moreover, Google said that the switchover will happen by the end of the year.

Apart from this, T-Mobile is also utilizing Google One’s cloud storage as the default backup service for Android phones. Furthermore, the carrier already supports Google’s MVNO, Google Fi, then this new deal doesn’t change anything for Fi customers.

With Google Messages, Samsung customers on T-Mobile will continue to get advanced chat features like:

• Sending and receiving better quality photos and videos
• Chatting over Wi-Fi or data
• Knowing when your message is read
• Sharing reactions, and
• Enjoying more dynamic and engaging group chats
