Samsung Wallet, WhatsApp, and Thermo check apps arrive on the WearOS Galaxy Watches
The Galaxy Watch 6 series will be soon unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked Event in Seoul, South Korea. Ahead of the event, an interesting announcement from Samsung has arrived regarding the Galaxy Watch series. The firm has announced that three new applications will be made compatible with its Galaxy smartwatches.
With this variety of new apps, smartwatch users can enhance their experience within the Galaxy watches more responsively, adaptively, and in a multifunctional manner. The firm said,” With Samsung Wallet, Thermo Check, and WhatsApp, users can do more than ever straight from their wrist.”
Samsung Wallet For Galaxy Watches
The Samsung Wallet app comes first; the most recent app will allow customers to utilize performance tickets as well as make payments and submit IDs. The software is thought to be a replacement for the Samsung Pay app. The Samsung Pay app already has access to Galaxy watches that were launched earlier. The new Galaxy Watch series will support the application. Samsung has not stated the app’s availability on Watch 4 and Watch 5 series.
New Thermo Check App
Next is the Thermo Check, which may be the feature garners the most attention as the name itself suggests that it detects the temperature; the users can quickly determine the temperature of their surroundings, including the food they are going to consume and the water they are about to swim in, all without making any physical contact. This app will function using Samsung’s Privileged Health software development kit (SDK), which includes the new Skin Temperature API and infrared sensors on the watch. The accessibility of this app will be provided to the upcoming Galaxy series first, followed by the Galaxy Watch 5 series later sometime.
WhatsApp is now available for all WearOS-based Galaxy Watch users
Last but not least, Whatsapp. For the company’s Wear OS-based Galaxy Watch 5 series, and Galaxy Watch 4 series, Whatsapp is now accessible. Users can now carry on conversations, reply through voice messages, and can attend calls without having to remove their phones. Only devices running Wear OS 3 or later are capable of using it.
With the revelation of the financial revenue statistics in Q1 2024, Samsung has confirmed that the brand is going to up its ante again by significantly improving the wearables sales, unveiling new devices along with certain prominent aspects like the Galaxy Ring, while also officially claiming to launch some more advanced premium Galaxy Watch lineups.
Samsung wishes to offer a more advanced yet premium experience to its Galaxy Watch users:
With the latest announcement, Samsung significantly aims to offer a highly interactive yet advanced wearable experience to its users and plans on powering the Galaxy smartwatch ecosystem by introducing the most significant Galaxy watch models that should include certain essential aspects, like the Galaxy Ring.
Is the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra Next Variant part of the Galaxy Watch 7 line-up?
Moreover, the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra variant could feature the next Galaxy smartwatch lineup, the Galaxy Watch 7, which might sport a square-shaped display screen rather than a circular display. Meanwhile, reports further revealed that the upcoming Galaxy Watch 7 might have 32GB of internal storage; the smartwatch could be powered by a 3nm Exynos chip; a square-shaped screen; an elegant look; and a premium finish would rather give a serious rivalry to the Apple Watch Ultra 2.
Samsung clearly stated that the brand is significantly focused on spreading a more advanced Galaxy smartwatch ecosystem for its Galaxy watch users by introducing a premium Galaxy Watch lineup that could feature some impressive features and aspects that would significantly offer a better yet premium experience to the users.
In the last few years, Google has been dedicatedly working to improve the WearOS platform, which aims to provide services to make the smartwatch experience better. However, to bring about the enhancement, the company is not dependent on major software updates, while many of them provide changes through new updates.
For instance, last month saw the global implementation of a new update to Google Maps for WearOS devices, which included the ability to synchronize 3D buildings and display directions on public transport.
According to the information, now Google Developer is to guarantee the user OS that it will provide a whole new express for the Google Map. It has provided some new features, including a new shortcut to facilitate access to the map.
With the latest version of Google Maps 11.124.0702.W, the company has introduced a new Google Maps replacement search button with the ‘Map’ button, which allows you to directly access the map view.
However, there is no important or majorly significant feature spotted in the update, but the developers of Mountain View Company are dedicatedly providing some innovation in the next update. To take advantage of the new feature, you just need to search for the update.
Samsung is all set to expand its Galaxy smartwatch area, but this time under the new title, Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Surely, the Korean giant will introduce a brand new Galaxy watch at the Galaxy Unpacked event, but it appears that the plan is to ditch the Watch 7 Pro for the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Previously, we reported that this time Samsung could introduce three variants of the next-generation Galaxy Watch 7: Standard, Classic, and Pro. But now a recent report is claiming that Samsung might introduce the Watch Utra instead of the Watch 7 Pro.
Earlier, a larger battery of 578 mAh was reported for the forthcoming Galaxy Watch, along with the model number EB-BL705ABY. If the recent reports are to be believed, three distinct model numbers will come into existence for the upcoming Galaxy Watch Ultra, which are as follows: SM-L705U, SM-L705N, and SM-L705F.
These model numbers represent the US, Korea, and Global. The new Watch Utra will be officially launched in various regions. The Galaxy Watch FE will bring similar features to the Galaxy Watch 4, introduced back in 2021. This fan edition of the Galaxy Watch is expected to arrive in the coming months and will be available with particular models for the US, Korea, and other regions.
- SM-R866F, SM-R866U, and SM-R866N
Since the Korean giant is working on two different Galaxy Watch models, we are expecting some significant differences between the Watch Ultra and Watch FE. However, the brand has not revealed anything regarding both watches officially yet, but it is expected that the Watch Ultra could offer advanced sensors to provide more accurate GPS and workout activity tracking. It will be interesting to see what novelty these watches will bring.
