Google’s Scam Detection feature, which uses on-device artificial intelligence to identify potentially fraudulent phone calls, could soon expand to Xiaomi smartphones.
The feature initially appeared on Google Pixel devices before reaching phones from other manufacturers. It is already available on Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series, while earlier evidence suggested that Vivo devices could also receive the technology.
Xiaomi appears on Google’s supported list
Evidence discovered in the latest public beta of the Google Phone app, version 237.0.973536915, indicates that Xiaomi has been added to the list of manufacturers supporting Scam Detection.
However, Google has not yet announced which Xiaomi models will receive the feature or when the rollout will begin.
The recently unveiled Xiaomi 18 Fold could be a potential candidate, although the device is currently confirmed for launch in China. This could mean that a globally available Xiaomi flagship receives the feature first.
AI analyses calls directly on the phone
Google’s Scam Detection uses on-device AI to analyse conversations during phone calls and identify patterns that may indicate fraudulent activity.
If the system detects suspicious behaviour, it can warn the user during the call. Because the analysis takes place on the device, the feature is designed to provide protection without relying entirely on remote processing.
The technology remains in beta and is not considered foolproof. Testing has shown that it can miss some scams or issue warnings in situations that may not actually be fraudulent.
Even so, expanding the feature beyond Google’s own phones could give more Android users an additional layer of protection against increasingly sophisticated phone scams.
More Android brands could follow
The possible Xiaomi rollout comes as Google gradually expands Scam Detection across the Android ecosystem.
With Samsung already supporting the feature and indications pointing towards Vivo and Xiaomi, the technology could eventually become available across a wider range of smartphones.
For users, the expansion could offer a useful safeguard against scam calls, particularly as fraudsters increasingly rely on convincing conversations to persuade victims to share personal information or make financial transactions.
