The deal is official, Samsung and Google plus announce Wear OS and Tizen are united, but none of the current Galaxy Watch will receive Wear OS news.
no doubt the Integration between Wear OS and Tizen It was one of the news of the day, of the Google plus I/O 2021 and certainly of the quarter and of the year in the industry, and that is Google plus has finally equipo about reviving its operating system outfitleft to her fate for many months.
The news presented tonight are very important for Wear OS and its future new usuario interfaz and controls until new requests arrive, it goes through Redesign and better integrate services such as YouTube Music, Maps, Assistant or Pay and the associated synergies to convince Samsung to fall Tizen for wearables and return to Google plus’s lair with its Galaxy Watch, the only alternative on the platform to the Apple Watch.
In fact, Samsung won’t be the only newcomer to Wear OS, either Get Fitbit services now with the possibility of monitoring our activity and our health during the day also promises new high-end devices that works natively with the Google plus operating system within the Fitbit catalog.
Nevertheless, the doubts are still on Samsung’s sideand that’s that the South Korean giant made a cameo in the keynote speaker without going into too much detail what the implications of leaving Tizen will be for them and what that will entail for those who, like me, are currently users of one of Samsung’s smartwatches.
That is why we have compiled the information and will try to offer it to you everything we know about the future of the Galaxy Watch from Samsung… Join us to see it?
None of the current Samsung Galaxy Watch will get the new Wear OS
Based on what our colleagues have told us Central AndroidIt seems that the task of Samsung Tizen for wearables This does not orinan the loss of support for the existing Galaxy Watchpromised the South Korean company up to 3 years of support and at least security updates.
Don’t take part, because the reasons for buying a Galaxy Watch4 (or whatever the name of the next Samsung Smartwatch is) are varied and important, because Samsung has already confirmed that there will be no Wear OS for any of the current watches in its cataloguenot even for a Galaxy Watch3 with a lifespan of less than a year.
At Samsung, we always put the customer first in everything we do. That’s why we’re committed to providing the best smartwatch experience possible. For customers who already own a Galaxy Watch based on Tizen OS, we continue to offer at least three years of programa support from product launch.
So it’s to be expected the following support periods for the current Galaxy Watchbut always remember that they will remain on Tizen until the end of their useful life and will not receive the new OS:
smart watch | Send | support left |
---|---|---|
Samsung galaxy watch | Aug 2018 | 3 months |
Samsung Galaxy Watch active | March 2019 | 10 months |
Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 | Sept 2019 | 16 months |
Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 | Aug 2020 | 27 months |
Official reasons for the decision have not been announced, but we understand there will be some around the already long-lived Exynos 9110 chipset which brings to life every Galaxy Watch on the list, although that’s not something we’ve been able to confirm for certain. In fact, we also don’t know if the Galaxy Watch4 will bet on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear or rejoin the Exynos option.
Whatever the case, you cánido rest easy with your Galaxy Watch for now, although the truth is ours many reasons to be impatient with the Samsung UNPACKED that we will have in Augustand with the arrival of a promising new generation of Wear OS, which should reignite competition with Apple in this market expendable.
we will see How does Samsung integrate its rotating bezels? the discipline that represents its greatest differentiation, and in especial its ecosystem of services with Samsung Health, Samsung Pay and the others now everywhere on Google plus… Time to arm yourself with patience for a while!
