Google’s Pixel Watch 4 just made its release with the Wear OS 6 as expected. Before it even made its debut, Google had already started rolling out the latest Wear OS 6 update to eligible devices in the October update. Google only lists Pixel Watch 2 and Pixel Watch 3 as the eligible smartwatches .
The October update for the Pixel Watch lineup will roll out in phases in the next few weeks as it has always been. To check if the update is available for your wearable in your region, head over to Settings on your Pixel Watch. Under System , select System Updates . Tap on Your watch is up to date to check for updates and start the download.
Settings > System > System Updates > Your watch is up to date
You’ll also get a notification when the update is available for your watch.
The original Pixel Watch, released in 2022, will still receive the Wear OS 6 eventually. This is in agreement with Google’s three-year software commitment as it is listed to receive updates until October 2025.
Wear OS 6 is bringing new features to your wrist
With Material 3 Expressive redesign, everything feels fresh and new. Daily tasks are more obvious with the changes in buttons. Dynamic colour theming, rounded fonts and icons and more components like Edge buttons and Pickers are all part of the package.
Now, you can spice up your rides and walks. Your Pixel Watch will automatically launch Google Maps to give you directions as soon as you head out on a walk or a bike ride. Driving is not included. It won’t be convenient squinting at the directions on a tiny screen when in the car.
You can also add time to the watch’s Safety Check feature. If you don’t check in after a particular time to show you are safe, your emergency contacts will be notified. You can easily adjust the time on your wrist.
The main focus of the October update is bringing Wear OS 6 to older watches, but there are also minor changes. The October release brings a new security patch. It fixes a vulnerability affecting certain Qualcomm components.
You don’t have to use Pixel Watch 4 to enjoy the latest software update, Wear OS 6. With the October update, your older Pixel watches feel brand new.

When one tech giant starts a trend, other tech companies follow. The same is true about smartphones. When the iPhone 15 Pro launched with a titanium frame in 2023, Samsung was quick to follow suit. When the iPhone Air made its debut this year, Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Edge, as if saying: “If you can make a super slim phone, so can we.” This time, Apple has released the iPhone 17 Pro in a bold Cosmic Orange finish, and a leak suggests Samsung might do the same.
A leaked image of the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s dummy unit has surfaced on X. It shows the phone in three colour variants — silver, gold, and a bright orange shade that closely resembles the iPhone 17 Pro’s Cosmic Orange. With the orange colour making waves since the iPhone 17 launch, it won’t come as a surprise if Samsung plans to copy Apple’s style with the Galaxy S26 Ultra next year.

We can’t be certain if the leak is accurate, but if it’s true, Samsung’s next flagship phone will roll out in the latest trendiest smartphone colour. If that happens, other Android phones will want to go with the trend to not feel left out. All this is speculation, of course, until Samsung confirms the leak.
Samsung’s anticipated Galaxy S26 lineup is expected to roll out in three models, but there might be changes to this. Reports suggest that instead of the standard Galaxy S26, a Galaxy S26 Pro might take its place. Also in place of the Plus model, there might be the Galaxy S26 Edge. The Ultra model remains unchanged. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to continue as the top-of-the-line model in the series.
