Google claims Android phones now block more scams than iPhones: Android systems, particularly on Pixel Pro 10, are more effective against common real-world threats like social engineering scams via calls and texts. Full report here at Google to make your own conclusions

Has anyone noticed such a difference? Or is it just one vendor pushing yet another marketing campaign?
@nixCraft I switched from an iPhone to Google Pixel in September, and the difference is palpable. I was getting at least one or two spam/scam calls per day before, now it's less than one per week. It was an unanticipated but delightful side effect of the platform switch.

Perhaps the report was written by Gemini.
@nixCraft only works on pixel phones. every other android phone is screwed
@Viss yeah, many android devices don鈥檛 get any updates for years
@nixCraft its not about updates, its about google having two castes of phone - theirs, and 'everyone elses'. their phones get all the good stuff - but nobody elses do. so you only get those 'great features' if you buy a pixel.
and even then, like @josephdickson mentioned, not even all pixels get it
