WearOS 4 will be more colorful for Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 5
WearOS 4, the upcoming smartwatch OS version, is now on the verge of being launched on the market. A few days ago, Big G announced the Developer Preview of this premium software novelty. It is really satisfactory that Google started to pay attention to the smartwatch market as well; otherwise, WearOS 4 will still be lacking the premium experience, such as previous WearOS versions’ underdeveloped Material You.
Informatively, Google is now paying more attention to the smartphone market; we can justify it with the arrival of developed and enhanced Material You for WearOS 4 and the introduction of its first wearable Pixel Watch. Google will give its users peace of mind with the upcoming WearOS 4, as it is reported to be the most colorful OS ever, all thanks to the enhanced Material You abilities.

As the Korean firm Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 are running on WearOS, this upcoming software novelty will amaze them as well. If we look at the previous WearOS version, WearOS 3, it sure is good, specifically in terms of the graphical interface, but it disappointed its users due to the lack of smartphone-like Material You features, as it isn’t as colorful as it is on Android devices.
Material You will make WearOS 4 the most colorful ever
Thankfully, there is no need to be desperate anymore, as WearOS 4 will change things. If you are wondering what changes WearOS 4 will make, so, let us tell you the most significant changes can be seen in the Quick Settings section and one related to the search of local apps. WearOS 4 will also bring the support of accent colors in Material You. For a better understanding, you can get an idea through the images shared below.
Unfortunately, Google hasn’t confirmed the launch date of WearOS 4 yet, but we are expecting it to arrive next autumn. Let us tell you, Samsung’s next One UI Watch 5 will also be based on WearOS 4, which means it will also be as colorful as the next-gen smartwatch OS. Nota bene, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4, Galaxy Watch 5, and the next Galaxy Watch will be eligible for WearOS 4. Older ones will be out of the league.

Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy Watch 7 is in an actively developing phase and is expected to introduce a new naming system for Galaxy smartwatch processors.
Initially, Samsung switched to WearOS with the Galaxy Watch 4, powered by the Exynos W920 chip. Since then, the giant has also changed the naming scheme for their smartwatch processors. The same chipset, ‘Exynos W920, carried over to the next Galaxy Watch 5 lineup.
The current Galaxy Watch 6 is powered by an upgraded chipset named the Exynos W930, and it is expected that this will carry over to the next-generation Galaxy Watch 7 series as well. Recent reports suggest that an Exynos chip, likely to be named W1000, will power the Galaxy Watch 7. Although this naming scheme could be suitable, the key point is that it would better convince consumers that the new chip is a major upgrade as compared to the previous chip.
Although the model number for this new iteration is yet to come into existence, and usually the simple word is just not a part of the Korean giant, it will be interesting to see what turn this report will take in the future..
On the other hand, previous leaks already revealed the forthcoming Galaxy Watch 7 could offer three variants, including standard, classic, and pro, with hints at monster battery life and more. It is also supposed to be launched at the Galaxy Unpacked event in early July 2024.
Île-de-France Mobilités is in the phase of modernizing transport tickets and is stepping up its efforts to dematerialize them.
This includes new ticket options, pricing, effortless ways to buy tickets online or directly by phone, and updating station equipment to make using these new options smoother. Île-de-France Mobilités dematerialized ticketing solutions are used more and more every month and are now the majority in use.
The aim behind this is just the dematerialization of ticketing and the generalization of this use, which has less environmental impact as compared to magnetic tickets.
Regarding this president of Île-de-France Mobilités and the Île-de-France Region, Valérie Pécresse stated, “The generalization of this service, in partnership with Samsung, is in line with our dematerialization policy initiated in 2016: making the lives of Ile-de-France users simpler, more practical, and more in tune with our times. We will continue to invest and increase our efforts in this direction.”
Back in November 2023, a few testers were able, during a developing phase, to use their Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 lineup as well as newer models to validate their transport tickets. The feedback was positive, highlighting simplicity, fluidity, and the speed of using the service.
Although, since 2019, the Korean giant has been a partner of Île-de-France Mobilités to provide solutions for dematerializing transport tickets to all Ile-de-France residents on their smartphones. Now users can use their Galaxy smartphone for public transport in Île-de-France; this includes validating tickets on a terminal and buying or even reloading them with Samsung Pay.
The two players are going further with this new deployment, which will permit you to buy tickets from a smartphone and validate them just with a flick of the wrist with a connected watch, even in the scenario where it is turned off. This step appears as a move forward to the modernization of Ile-de-France ticketing in a simple way, especially for scenarios when you get late.
