Meaning the Galaxy Watch 3, Galaxy Watch Active 2, and any other more recent ones that are still receiving Tizen updates from Samsung.<br \/>\nIn a dedicated post talking about innovation, Samsung confirms that current watches will receive updates for at least three more years. Samsung mentions that the \u201cat least three years\u201d is from the product launch. So if you have an original Galaxy Watch Active, it won\u2019t be getting three more years of updates from today. This confirmation reinforces a couple of things.<br \/>\nFor one, it means that current Samsung smartwatch owners aren\u2019t being left out in the cold. Samsung is continuing to support them with new software for, quite honestly a rather lengthy period going forward. Especially considering how long some of the watches have already been out.<br \/>\nSecondly, it strengthens the reality that Samsung is phasing Tizen out and moving on.<br \/>\nSamsung Tizen software updates could last longer than three years<br \/>\nOne key thing to pay attention to is that updates may last beyond three years. Samsung, in its post, says that updates to current Tizen OS Galaxy Watches will last for\u00a0at least\u00a0three years.<br \/>\nWhich means there\u2019s a possibility that updates could be released beyond that point. Samsung has been pretty good about software update support for many of its devices for a while now. So a long update lifespan for its popular wearables shouldn\u2019t surprise anyone.<br \/>\nAlso worth noting is that Samsung is likely (at least in part) committing to at least three more years of Tizen updates for one good reason. Because current Galaxy Watches running on the Tizen OS won\u2019t be getting the update to Samsung and Google\u2019s new unified wearables platform.<br \/>\nSo, Samsung is doing right by its consumers by keeping the watches alive with new software and features for the OS they run on. The company doesn\u2019t mention anything about features for these updates at this point. Which is to be expected. It probably has nothing specific to share.<br \/>\nHaving said that, a new feature or two are surely on the horizon for some users. Provided the watch is new enough and has the software to support them.<br \/>\nThe post Samsung Won&#8217;t Update Your Tizen Smartwatches Forever appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-Watch-3-Review-5.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung will be partnering with Google for all of its future smartwatches, but it\u2019s not completely giving up on Tizen [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7522,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7521"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7521\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7523,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7521\/revisions\/7523"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
