The new tiles include a new battery level tile that allows users to quickly check the remaining power of the watch. , there is also a Buds controller tile that allows users to turn on/off 360 audio, and a timer tile that allows users to quickly start a timer without opening a dedicated app.

Why did Samsung suddenly decide to limit the functionality of its best smartwatch to an Android device? TechRadar interviewed Samsung Global Product Planning Director Junho Park (Junho Park) at the Samsung conference. He explained this as follows: “Our goal is: how to provide our customers with the best experience? We found that when Some of the major limitations that users encounter when pairing the Galaxy Watch with an iOS device are not caused by the watch itself or the core product. So we think there are still a lot of disconnects between the two systems, which is why we give up (on the Galaxy Watch One of the reasons for supporting iOS) — we couldn’t provide the same level of experience on Android and iOS.”

Park Jun-ho hinted that some of the limitations of the Samsung Galaxy Watch are not caused by “the watch itself.” It is noticed that not only iOS devices cannot use many functions of the Galaxy Watch, but some Android devices do not support them well. To make full use of the functions of the Galaxy Watch, users may really need a Samsung Galaxy phone.

The news comes from the official channels of Samsung’s Korean community, but no new official shelf date has been provided, so it’s unclear how long Galaxy Watch 4/5 series users will have to wait.

Foreign tech media SamMobile believes that Samsung will launch the One UI Watch 5 beta program before releasing the Galaxy Watch 6 series of watches.

Samsung plans to hold a Galaxy Unpacked launch event on July 26 to launch the Galaxy Watch 6 series of watches with the One UI Watch 5 system pre-installed.

After this update, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro will support 360-degree audio recording, which can add immersive sound to video content captured by Galaxy phones. Also, the camera controller on the Galaxy Watch will get new functionality.

The 360-degree audio recording feature will capture the sound in the video as it is heard in real life. This means it is now possible to record video with high-quality, lifelike audio without the need for expensive professional equipment.

This feature works by picking up 360-degree sound through the microphones in each earbud. Playing videos on devices that support 360-degree audio, such as the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, will provide users with an immersive and lifelike experience.

360-degree audio recording is the first feature in the Galaxy series to use the Bluetooth LE audio standard. Binaural recording is also possible on the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by using the left and right microphones simultaneously. This feature can be enabled for Galaxy Buds 2 Pro users when their headphones are paired with a Galaxy phone running One UI 5.0 or later that supports LE audio. Compatible with Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 devices, in addition to upcoming Samsung phones.

The Galaxy Watch camera controller app allows users to control the device’s camera from the wrist. Samsung is releasing an update for the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 that brings zoom control to the camera controller app.

Users can remotely control the zoom of the phone camera through the wrist. Pinch the dial or rotate the bezel to zoom in or out. This will make it easier to take group photos or selfies from a distance.

A software update for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro that enables 360-degree audio recording will be rolling out gradually starting today. The camera zoom control feature will be released for the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 4 series starting in February.

Google said it introduced 3 new Tiles for Wear OS smartwatches: Favorite Contacts, Sunrise Time and Sunset Time. Favorite Contacts serves all users, while the latter two show sunrise and sunset are not very useful for regular users, but may provide some help for photographers, athletes and people who like outdoor activities.

Tiles is a feature introduced by Google in WearOS 2.0. Most users don’t raise their wrist for more than 5 seconds on average, so the information on the watch must be easy to find, simple to interact with, and actionable, which is why Tiles was created.

Tiles is a widget-like UI that allows users to get the information they need and perform actions in a more convenient way. Adding, deleting, and reordering can be controlled through the mobile app.

Google Keep, the notes app, has also been updated to bring the ability to view tags, collaborators, photos, custom backgrounds, and even drawings. In addition, Google Assistant is integrated with the Adidas Running app, so Galaxy Watch users can request the Adidas Running app through Google Assistant to start a running workout.
