From PC Mag: After teasing a Gemini-Wear OS integration for months, Google's AI appears ready to launch on Android smartwatches.
A new promo image for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, leaked by Roland Quandt, shows the words “Ask Google Gemini” on its screen alongside the AI's logo. As 9to5Google notes, this suggests Gemini will first arrive on a Samsung smartwatch before a wider launch on Wear OS.
Earlier this year, Google said Gemini would replace the Google Assistant across all compatible products. If you have a smartwatch with Assistant onboard, it will eventually be upgraded to Gemini. (Those missing Assistant on their Wear OS watch are out of luck.)
Gemini for smartwatches was announced alongside Wear OS 6, but "Gemini is independent of Wear OS 6," Jaime Williams, Wear OS' product manager, told The Verge in May. That means existing smartwatches will be able to download Gemini as a separate app rather than waiting until their device gets Wear OS 6.
