The 2019 lawsuit accused Google of using Android users' cellular data without consent to run activities like targeted ads. Google says it will appeal, which could delay any payout.

A jury in San Jose, California, said on Tuesday that Google misused customers' cell phone data and must pay more than $314.6 million to Android smartphone users in the state, according to an attorney for the plaintiffs.

The plaintiffs filed the class action lawsuit in state court in 2019 on behalf of an estimated 14 million Californians.
