New Delhi. Google has confessed that it gives a huge amount every month to install the Gemini AI app in Samsung's phone. According to a report by Bloomberg, Peter Fitzgerald, Vice President of Google's platforms and device partnerships, testified that even though the company was found guilty of violating the antitrust law, Google started paying Samsung from January this year.

According to Bloomberg, Fitzgerald revealed that Gemini Deal is a two -year agreement, in addition to fixed monthly payments, Google also gives Samsung a percentage of the Gemini app subscription revenue. David Dahlakwist, a lawyer of the Dipartage of Justice (Doj), has called the monthly payment a huge amount. However, neither Google nor Doj have told how big this amount is.

Violation of antitrust laws
This new disclosure has come when Judge Amit Mehta, who is overseeing the current case, has already said that Samsung is a clear violation of antitrust laws to pay companies on phone to set their apps to set default.

Google violated
This is not the first case when Google has been found offering money to Samsung to install his app on the device. Tech giant paid $ 8 billion to Samsung to default Google Play Store, Assistant and Search between 2020-2023. It has also been reported that Apple was paid $ 20 billion in 2022 to create a default search engine in Safari Browser.

Doj lawyers have claimed that Google used the classic monopoly-making strategy to eliminate competitors, to use customers to use their products and control the online advertising market.

If DOJ gets his point, it can mean that Google can be banned from making such deals, which makes his app default options on smartphones. In addition, the company may be forced to sell Chrome and license most of the data operating Google Search.
