Google plans to discontinue the Google One VPN service due to underutilization, while Pixel owners and Google Fi subscribers will still have access to their included VPN services. The company cited a focus on providing the most in-demand features and benefits for its decision, and reassured owners of Pixel 7 series phones and newer that a separate VPN service, called Pixel VPN, will still be available for five years. The VPN included with Google Fi cellular plans is also unaffected, but users reliant on the Google One VPN will need to switch to another provider.
Google One will be discontinuing its VPN service later this year due to low usage, with existing users being directed to third-party alternatives. Google will continue to offer VPN functionality through its Google Fi cellular service, and Pixel users with Pixel 7 or newer models will still be able to access VPN features via Pixel settings.
Google Fi is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that operates under the T-Mobile network. It offers phone plans that prioritize data traffic and connect users to Wi-Fi networks when available.

The service covers data within the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, with certain plans offering international coverage. Google Fi offers three plans, including Simply Unlimited, Unlimited Plus, and Flexible, with prices ranging from $20 to $240 per month depending on the number of users and data usage.

This offer is available until January 3, 2024, and may be an attempt by Google Fi to encourage subscribers with recent phones to upgrade earlier than usual.

The 100GB of Google One storage included in the Unlimited Plus plan remains unchanged.

It also features a rear camera for selfies and stops at any angle for "laptop mode."
