Google's Scam Detection feature, which warns users of potential scams during phone calls, has been available on Pixel devices and Samsung flagships since the Galaxy S26 series. Now, a teardown of the latest Phone by Google app reveals the feature is likely headed to vivo phones. Internal codename "Sharpie" appears in screenshots confirming the expansion, though Google has not officially announced the partnership.

While it's unclear which vivo devices will receive support, the upcoming X500 family is a probable launch target. Whether the X300 series will get a backport remains an open question. Another mystery is implementation: will vivo integrate Scam Detection into its own dialer app, similar to how Samsung handles it, or will this mean vivo fully adopts the Phone by Google app for its devices?

Regardless of the approach, this unofficial confirmation suggests the anti-scam capability won't remain confined to Google and Samsung hardware forever, potentially bringing enhanced call security to a broader range of Android users.
