Google Pixel Watch 3 Software Support Ends in 2027

Google has raised the bar in the mobile industry with a new software support promise. The Pixel 8a, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold will receive software updates for seven years. Google deserves praise for this commitment since most people likely won’t even keep their phones for the entire seven years.
When it comes to smartwatches, Google is taking a different approach. The original Pixel Watch and the Pixel Watch 2 have been promised only three years of guaranteed software support. The Pixel Watch 3 will also receive updates for just three years.
This means that after October 2027 (which is oddly the cutoff month even though the watch was announced in August) updates may stop. Google might decide to release some updates after that date but it’s not guaranteed. This creates an interesting difference in how Google treats its smartphones and smartwatches, even though they are both smart devices.
It seems like Google expects people to replace their smartwatches more often than their phones. This could also be because smartwatches are usually cheaper than smartphones. So if you’re thinking about getting a Pixel Watch remember that it won’t last as long as a Pixel phone when it comes to software updates.
Google Gemini Can Now Turn Photos into 8-Second Videos with Sound

Google has added a new feature to Veo 3, the video creation tool in its Gemini AI platform. Now, users can turn still images into short videos using artificial intelligence.
How It Works
With this new update, users can upload a photo and Gemini will create an 8-second video clip from it. The video will also include sound, based on your instructions.
To use the feature:
- Go to the Videos option in the tool menu.
- Upload an image.
- Describe the scene you want, and give any audio instructions.
- Gemini will then generate the video, which you can download or share.
Users can also give thumbs up or down feedback to help Google improve the tool.
Who Can Use It?
This feature is available now for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in select countries. The same function is also available in Flow, Google’s AI tool for filmmaking.
Rapid Growth
Google shared that more than 40 million videos have already been created using Veo 3 through the Gemini app and Flow in the last seven weeks. With this new photo-to-video option, that number is expected to grow even faster.
AI Watermarks
All videos made with this tool will include both a visible watermark and a hidden SynthID digital watermark to clearly mark them as AI-generated.
