As the antitrust remedy trial against Google continues, Google’s vice president of platforms and device partnerships, Peter Fitzgerald said in court on Monday that Googles payments started in January, after Google was found in breach of antitrust laws for paying Apple and others for placements of search products.

The two year deal included monthly payments and a share of ad revenue, writes The Verge.

The aim of the deal is to give Gemini the pride of being the default AI assistant og Galaxy phones, which sell a ton worldwide.

Should Google loose the trial, which is only for remedies after earlier being found guilty of a monopoly in advertising, they would be forbidden from deals like these, will have to sell Chrome, and open search data to licensing deals.
