Samsung Galaxy Watches gets richer notes on Google Keep
Google is continuing to provide essential features for its Google Keep application of WearOS devices. First, the Material You support in September, then three new tiles for sunset, sunrise, and favorite contact, and now a richer note feed for the wearable version of Keep. Recently, Google has started distributing this new update for eligible smartwatches and Galaxy watches. However, this new update is supported by the watches booted with WearOS 3 or later versions only. For information, this new update brought a richer note feed with it. Now let’s take a brief look at this new richer note feed.
Coming to this newer note feed, which will provide a richer experience to its user, has brought numerous new and amazing variations with it. In this new version of Google Keep, first, you will get to see the background color and preset image. From now on, your Google Keep application will show the reflection of the image which you have pursued in your linked smartphone device’sdevice’s Google Keep application. The color of the card also reflects the previously selected background and preset image of your smartphone device, but they are a bit subtle.
Apart from these, with this updated version of Keep, you will be able to see whether anything was edited, any collaborations, and labels you’ve applied to your notes, Just before the Add Reminder, Pin, and Archive actions. This new version also gets an updated text preview feature. Now it will show a total of three to four lines instead of just two so that one can easily read the larger part of the notes. As smartwatches have a smaller screen than smartphones, it’s hard to read the complete note just at once. But because the note’snote’s part got wider, now you have to scroll down to reach more notes.
Let us tell you that this new note feed has appeared with the new version of the Google Keep application (WearOS version), which reads version number 5.22.482.00.97. This version has been rolling out to WearOS 3-based devices only. Unfortunately, this update is not rolling out widely at this time, but we can expect its expansion in due course of time. Notably, the images are broken in this release and won’twon’t appear on the main feed. But we are expecting that Samsung may soon resolve this issue before its public roll-out.
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.
