ok what phone should I get next

A pixel. It comes without Gemini pre-installed. That or any phone on the planet without Gemini installed on Android. So the vast majority of them.

Check again. If you've got a pixel, you might have to go into your apps and use the search function to find it. It installs and hides itself as of some recent update.

Ok, then what are these screens on my pixel 6 pro?

I do not have the Gemini app itself installed, but there's some functionality of it right there.

One is invoking Gemini results via search API and has limited access and the other is the full app you install with the additional functionality and permissions.

This email applies to the latter.
