Google brings Gemini in Chrome to UK users

A new gadget story is only interesting if it survives contact with ordinary life: charging, durability, usefulness, price and whether people still reach for it after the novelty fades.

The latest phone-industry story is really a question about value: what has to improve before another expensive upgrade feels like a smart decision instead of a reflex.
