Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 & Watch 5 perform actions with gyroscope sensors
The South Korean firm Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 series devices can be known as the cleverest smartwatches of the whole Galaxy Watch family. It won’t be wrong to say that these Galaxy Watches have been named the best due to their intelligent sensors, such as BioActive sensors. Besides it, some other simpler sensors like “gyroscope” are also available in them. Let’s know more about them.
Informatively, if you are unaware, gyroscope sensors came to be found in some smartphones as well. This sensor is able to detect the Galaxy Watch’s movements through inertia. In addition to this sensor, the company came up with some incredible gestures, including the infamous Quick Launch gesture. Today, we will know all about this Quick Launch gesture that uses a gyroscope sensor to perform actions.

What is Quick Launch, and How to enable it?
Let us tell you, Quick Launch is a gesture that lets the Galaxy Watch perform operations such as launching an application, turning on the flashlight, or opening the workout type list. This gesture does any of these when the wearer makes a fist and bends their wrist down two times in a flicking motion. Once you get to that part of the setup, the correct animation will be displayed on your watch. Now, let’s know how to enable it.
- First, unlock your Galaxy Watch (Watch 4 or Watch 5).
- Go to the “Settings”.
- Then choose “Advanced Features” and scroll down.
- Then tap “Quick Launch”.
- Afterward, turn the toggle “On” and enable this gesture.
- Then, tap “Select an option” and choose the desired action between those available.
Nota bene, besides the Quick Launch gesture, the “Advanced features” option also lets users enable some wrist gestures for answering calls or dismissing notifications.
What if the Quick Gesture option doesn’t work?
Firstly, let us make it clear, Quick Launch wrist gesture requires two conditions:
- The first condition is the display has to be turned on. It is to prevent the Quick Launch wrist gesture to work when you accidentally flick your wrist.
- The second condition is you should perform the Quick Launch gesture within 5 seconds of turning on your Galaxy Watch’s display. If you get late than 5 seconds to perform this gesture, your Galaxy Watch will ignore it.
If this Quick Launch wrist gesture isn’t working on your Galaxy Watch, you may be lacking somewhere. We are suggesting you kindly keep both of these terms in your mind and then perform the gesture, it will surely work out.
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.
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.
