Compatible Phones

Google Fi works best with newer Android phones. There is a long list of compatible phones for most of the Google Fi features, but for the full experience it’s best to use an Android phone.

We recommend the Motorola Moto X4 Android-One smartphone which is $235 on Amazon but sometimes goes on sale for $200. [View/Buy] The user guide provides more details about the Moto X4. [View PDF]

The best case we’ve found for the Moto X4 is the CoverOn Hybrid case for about $10. [View/Buy]

Testimonial

“I’ve been using Google Fi with a Moto X4 smartphone for about 6 months and during that time I’ve had excellent coverage traveling to a variety of cities and rural areas in Iowa, as well as on driving trips to Kansas City and Chicago from Iowa City. I also traveled to India with the Moto X4 and was very pleased with the coverage and cost for usage. The phone instantly connected and worked, and welcomed me to India. My other phone is an iPhone X (2017 model) using AT&T service. There have been numerous occasions where the AT&T service didn’t exist, and the Google Fi service saved me when I needed to make a call or get GPS mapping directions. I’d highly recommend Google Fi and the Moto X4 as a backup phone, mobile hotspot, or primary phone for people who aren’t immersed in and reliant upon the Apple ecosystem of devices and services.” ~ Greg Johnson (12 Jul 2019)

How Google Fi Works

From the FAQ page:

“Through new technology developed with our partners, phones designed for Fi put you on the best available network among three leading networks from T-Mobile, Sprint, and U.S. Cellular as well as a network of Wi-Fi hotspots. This means you get access to more cell towers and 4G LTE in more places. Phones that aren’t designed for Fi are covered by T-Mobile.”

How Google Fi Ranks

According to an independent review by Consumer Reports, Google Fi is #2 out of 20 cellular service providers when taking into consideration the value, customer support, data service, voice quality, and other aspects of the service.
