A recent leak regarding Samsung’s One UI 8 Watch suggests that Google’s Gemini AI may soon integrate with Wear OS. This information comes from a tipster who claims to have found an early build of the Wear OS update, revealing insights into Gemini’s functionalities. The leaked details indicate that Gemini is expected to bring “actions” to Wear OS, enabling users to manage scheduled events and tasks more efficiently. A notable string found in the APK mentioned “Add a Gemini action,” potentially indicating that users will have the option to interact with Gemini directly in Samsung’s Wear OS interface.
Some of Gemini’s functionalities seem to include the ability to rearrange schedule items, such as moving meetings by a specific duration. The code also includes familiar features like email summarization and weather reports, but what stands out is the inclusion of “suggestions,” hinting that Gemini might proactively offer recommendations based on the user’s information. These suggestions may appear as tappable cards, though this aspect remains speculative. In addition to these features, the report indicates that users will likely be able to activate Gemini via voice commands.
This follows previous reports that alluded to the integration of Gemini into the Wear OS ecosystem, potentially replacing the existing Assistant. Earlier this year, a brief appearance of Gemini’s logo was noted on the Galaxy Watch 4, but the Assistant retained its core functionalities. The anticipation builds as Google’s I/O event approaches on May 20, where more details about Gemini’s capabilities within Wear OS are expected to be unveiled, promising engaging developments for users in the near future.
