In a statement made yesterday, May 18, Google noted that right now it doesn\u2019t have anything to share on that front, but that it \u201cwill have more updates to share on timelines once the new version launches later this year.\u201d<br \/>\nCryptic. Though, perhaps not really. Google isn\u2019t trying to be coy or secretly give out any hints. It\u2019s not teasing anything. It\u2019s simply not saying anything about a new Wear OS update for current devices. If an update is even in the cards.<br \/>\nAn update to the new Wear OS sounds reasonable<br \/>\nAs reasonable as it may sound, it\u2019s very possible Google won\u2019t update any current watches to the new software. The fact is, at this point there\u2019s just no telling what Google plans to do. Because it hasn\u2019t confirmed anything at this point.<br \/>\nNor have the two other brands that are involved with the partnership. Which are Fitbit and Samsung. There are at current, too many variables which could sway Google\u2019s decisions one way or the other.<br \/>\nIncluding whether or not current and past devices have the hardware to support the new software in the first place. Having said all that, updating current devices is a reasonable prospect. Google says it plans to have the new Wear OS out later this year. Samsung\u2019s upcoming watch that will run the new Wear OS will be one of the first devices.<br \/>\nAnd since it plans to share more information at some point, closer to the launch of the new Wear OS is when you can probably expect to learn whether or not your existing hardware will run on it.<br \/>\nSome watches will probably make the cut<br \/>\nWhile Google probably won\u2019t send the update out to all current watches, it would be pretty unlikely that no current watches would be compatible. Of course which watches make the cut is still a mystery but it won\u2019t be forever.<br \/>\nWhen the refresh does arrive, current users can expect better performance, better battery life, and probably a new look. The new Wear OS is due out sometime later this year. So keep an eye out for it if you already have a Wear OS watch or plan to buy one that launches with the new software.<br \/>\nThe post Google Won&#8217;t Say If Current Smartwatches Get The New Wear OS appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/TicWatch-E2-Review-AM-AH-10-600x400-1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to the new Wear OS, one thing that\u2019s as mystifying as all the new features is whether [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7546,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7545","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\/7545","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=7545"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7545\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7547,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7545\/revisions\/7547"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
