This hinges on the unified smartwatch platform for Android that Google announced during its I\/O keynote.<br \/>\nWhich will see the likes of future Fitbit devices as well as the Galaxy Watch 4 run on this new software. The new version of Wear OS as it were. What does that mean for Tizen? Well, it\u2019s a little complicated. Then again it\u2019s really not.<br \/>\nA Samsung spokesperson has confirmed that all future Galaxy Watches will run on this new unified platform. Meaning they\u2019ll be running on the new version of Wear OS that it\u2019s collaborating on with Google. Instead of Tizen. This will start with the Galaxy Watch 4.<br \/>\nGoogle and Samsung team up for new innovative smartwatches<br \/>\nWhether you\u2019ve enjoyed Wear OS or you preferred Samsung\u2019s Tizen, the future of smartwatches from both companies is about to be a lit brighter. Both companies are bringing the best of what each has to offer to this new wearable operating system.<br \/>\nThis means Samsung\u2019s enhanced performance and battery life, as well as its excellent navigation of the UI, and Google\u2019s support for third-party apps. Together, the two companies hope to introduce new and innovative smartwatch technology that users can get excited about.<br \/>\nThis means things like enhanced health tracking features, faster app load times, faster performance overall, and a Wear OS watch that last for more than a day. During the keynote, Google said users would have battery life to spare the next day.<br \/>\nNeither company mentioned any specifics, but perhaps users can finally look forward to Wear OS watches that can last for at least two days with average use.<br \/>\nGoogle\u2019s own apps will get a refresh<br \/>\nIn addition to the overall enhancement of the platform, Google will be refreshing its own applications. The Wear OS version of Maps, Pay, and more are getting a face lift to provide a new, more user friendly and intuitive design.<br \/>\nOnce this software hits watches, users will get access to things like offline music playback and turn by turn navigation on the wrist. Google is introducing these changes throughout the year. It will start with the Maps navigation later in May. While the offline playback and Pay changes are landing sometime later in 2021.<br \/>\nAlso coming later this year is a newly created Fitbit app for this new platform. So even if you don\u2019t use a Fitbit device, you\u2019ll still get the benefits of the app.<br \/>\nThe post Samsung Partners With Google To Usher In New Era Of Smartwatches appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Google-Samsung-Wear-OS-Partnership.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google today announced a new partnership with Samsung that will usher in a new era of smartwatches.
