Galaxy Watch Fans! Wear OS 5 Features To Be Revealed At Google I/O 2024
Google I/O 2024 is scheduled for May 14, 2024, on Tuesday at 10:30 p.m. At an event, Google will reveal what major update Wear OS 5 will bring.
Google has already made Android 15 Beta 1.2 available to download, but the exact new features are yet to be officially announced. Now the brand is setting up to unveil Android 15, Wear OS 5, and Android TV at the Google I/O 2024 event.
Google finally unveiled a noteworthy portion of the I/O 2024 schedule, which includes quite a few hints at major announcements regarding Wear OS 5. On the other hand, Samsung is also expected to unveil the next-generation smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch 7, at the Galaxy Unpacked Event in July. It will likely run Wear OS 5-based One UI Watch out of the box. The Galaxy Watch 7 is expected to have three variants, and one of those is expected to have a square screen.
Here’s the question: When Can We Expect to Wear OS 5 Beta Updates for Samsung Galaxy Watches?
Last year, Google’s Wear OS 4 was released on August 11, 2023, with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic. As per the previous schedule, it is expected that nearly around the same time, this year also, the giant could officially release Wear OS 5.
Once Wear OS 5 becomes stably available, Samsung will start rolling out the Wear OS 5 beta update to its eligible Galaxy smartwatches. Noticeably, the Wear OS beta will be available only in two regions:
- Korea and the U.S.
Previously, it was reported that the upcoming Wear OS 5 update, which is set to be based on Android 14, Google has shared attention on the “Watch Face Format,” designed to make watch faces more efficient and dynamic, and designing watch applications to adapt to more “device sizes.”
