Google’s latest Pixel update brings a batch of features that, while intriguing, aren’t exactly breaking new ground. This July drop continues to highlight Google’s push into AI, something most users have come to expect.
One standout feature is Gemini for the Pixel Watch, especially beneficial for YouTube Music subscribers. In essence, it seems designed to alleviate the need for us to remember anything, integrating deeper into our inboxes and messaging apps.
Another advancement is in Circle to Search. This feature now supports follow-up questions and even allows searches during specific moments in games, providing tutorials to help with tough spots. Currently, this is limited to users in the United States and India.
For Pixel 9 Pro owners, there’s a sweet bonus: a year’s free subscription to Gemini AI Pro. This includes access to Veo 3, an AI tool that creates short videos from text prompts. Since Pixel 9 owners already enjoyed a free year of Gemini Advanced, it appears Google is keen on keeping users entrenched in its AI ecosystem.
The rollout for these updates is expected over the next few days. For those not yet part of Google’s world, the original Pixel Watch is available at great prices online, making it a tempting entry point for potential users.
