Everything new about WearOS 4 (One UI 5 Watch) for Galaxy Watches
The Galaxy Watch 6 has won the hearts of the fan community with its great features, modern features, and stylish look. But the interesting thing is that apart from these, another great thing is that it is the first smartwatch ever to arrive with WearOS 4-based One UI 5 Watch.
Now the latest Galaxy Watch 6 offers more improved and better features to the users at their convenience, which surely enhances their experience. Let’s gossip about what’s new in the Galaxy Watch 6 with WearOS 4.
- Enhanced Sleep Tracking: This time, the Galaxy Watch 6 set the stage on fire because now it will not only monitor the sleep of the users but also monitor their sleep and tell them how to improve it so that they can achieve their goals.
For this, When users are sleeping, their sleep phases, blood oxygen, heartbeat, etc., are measured, and all the data is prepared and shown to the users after the night passes so that they understand what to do to improve and from where.
- Individualize Heart Rate Zone: The Galaxy Watch 6 helps users to individualize their heart rate while running, and for this, it includes analysis based on real-time running and interval training process features as well. The users who use these programs will display activity subdivided clearly into two parts according to their heart rate zones, which will be fully based on their personal abilities.
At the moment, the Galaxy Watch 6 will help users understand where they literally need to be to achieve their goals, for there are five levels: Warm-up, Fat burn, Cardio, Hard training, and Maximum effort.
- Menstrual Cycle Tracking: This tracking option will help make menstrual cycle predictions, for which the tracking system will monitor the skin temperature of the users while they are sleeping, based on which it will be able to make the prediction.
However, Menstrual cycle tracking and the skin temperature sensor on the Galaxy Watch 5, as well as the Watch 6, have been hot topics of gossip.
- Transfers Get Simple: Now, the users of the Galaxy Watch 6 are allowed to transfer their watch without any need to reset it due to Wear OS 4, which means that for users, it is easier and quicker to connect to a new phone than the previous version. Currently, users do not have to worry about fully resetting their smartwatch. Once the transfer process is over, the user’s watch faces, applications, and settings will exactly be as they were before.
- Automatic Backup: Samsung is offering a new automatic backup facility, so users will now get all the backup without even doing it. This feature will work as per the requirement and will also be available through Samsung’s SmartSwitch. The interesting part is that, for the user’s peace of mind, the backup also gets stored in their Samsung account cloud.
- Samsung Wallet Improved: On Wear OS 4 Samsung’s wallet facility is now available for the user community. This amazing and super convenient change comes with enhanced facilities, which consist of boarding passes, all the digital ID proofs, and many others. But the noticeable point is that there are some conditions; for instance, Samsung Wallet will only do its job when the Galaxy Smartphone device is connected to the Galaxy Watch 6.
- Background ECG Readings: Samsung is also providing the facility of automatic background ECGs for the users, which will silently work in the background of their Galaxy Watch 6. And the ECG application on watch 6 looks for an interval of at least one hour, which counts irregular heartbeat readings.
Wear OS Based Galaxy Watch Should Bring All Messages Features
The Korean brand ‘Samsung’ introduces smartwatches along with the software gap between promise and premium! Now, deep down, it is gearing up to expand its smart wearable family by introducing a brand new Galaxy Smartwatch lineup within the next few months.
Galaxy smartwatch enthusiasts, the giants are cooking something new for you all, as Samsung is expected to release a new Galaxy Watch lineup or at least one in the upcoming weeks. However, a premium smartwatch model might not be the answer to each query that’s holding Galaxy Watches back.
It’s possible that a premium smartwatch with a more polished design could be a blessing or a curse for the Korean giants. Samsung Galaxy Watches, such as non-classic ones, can look like playthings, whereas the software also doesn’t give an experience like a high-end One UI, which it should.
One UI Watch performance appears unexciting, and the UI can sometimes falter or even lag extremely, especially after reconnecting to a mobile device. Even after spending a lot, in the end, somehow you realize that almost every UI element and widget often feels and doesn’t look ready to use or release. Most of the things appear to be in the early access phase. In many ways, it’s reminiscent of the old Android phone experience.
Now it is expected that Samsung’s forthcoming premium Galaxy Watch could solve the external design issue and make smartwatches a bit more appealing and less playful. Also, a more premium smartwatch paired with not-so-premium software will likely accentuate the undercooked One UI/Wear OS experience.
Somewhere, premium Samsung Galaxy smartwatches have software issues such as limited applications, watch faces, and a clumsy UI holding back Galaxy watches. A premium design would only be enough until the brand improved the software experience to feel as smooth and integrated as their smartphones.
Apart from this, the Galaxy Watch 7series is next in line, which should debut at the Galaxy Unpacked event in July. It is also expected that Samsung will release a new rectangular-shaped smartwatch by the end of this year.
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 6 series is running on Wear OS 4 onboard; now, to add a major layer of upgrade, the brand is gearing up to deliver a new update in the form of Wear OS 5.
Wear OS 5 for Galaxy Watches is under processing
The Korean giant has already started developing a new firmware version for the Galaxy Watch 6, which appears as R965USQU1BXD8. A tipster has revealed that Samsung is working on a new firmware version for the carrier-locked Galaxy Watch 6 smartwatch for the US market, leading to speculation.
This new firmware version indicates a major One UI version change, and it could be One UI Watch 6 based on Wear OS 5. On the other hand, Google has already revealed via @MatthewReiter05 that it will disclose Wear OS 5 and its features at the forthcoming Google I/O 2024 event on May 14, 2024.
A couple of months after the announcement, Wear OS 5 will probably be available in stable form, and Samsung could soon release a stable One UI Watch 6 based on that platform. However, it’s yet to be clear what new features and UI design improvements Google plans to bring with the Wear OS 5 update. It is expected to improve integration with Android-based smartphones, tablets, and TVs.
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.
