Google appears to be prepping a surprise backward expansion for one of its exclusive AI tools, and it is bringing a brand-new feature along for the ride.
If you are rocking a Pixel 8 and have been feeling a little left out of the generative AI party happening on the Pixel 9 and Pixel 10 series, I have some good news. It looks like Google is preparing to bring Pixel Studio to the 2023 flagship series. Previously, this app -- which lets you generate images from scratch or edit existing ones using AI prompts -- was strictly the domain of the newer hardware.
However, a sharp-eyed discovery in Google's official support documentation shows the text has been quietly updated. Where it used to say "Pixel 9 and later," it now explicitly reads "Pixel 8 and later."
But that's not all. The documentation also spilled the beans on a new "Animate image" feature. It's not live yet, but the steps to use it are already listed.
