Officially, Google will be calling the new platform Wear OS 3. Though you may also see it referred to as Wear 3.<br \/>\nThis probably comes as no surprise to anyone. As Google more than likely didn\u2019t want to drop the name that\u2019s been associated with its wearables platform for years at this point. While the name for this new unified Wear OS platform isn\u2019t really new itself, it is different enough that people should know the difference.<br \/>\nSo long as it\u2019s referred to as Wear OS 3 in any marketing and on any packaging. Or in other places where the name is placed to draw attention to the product.<br \/>\nThe new Wear OS name is just the old name, because why change what isn\u2019t broke<br \/>\nGoogle really has no need to change the name from Wear OS to something else entirely. Sure, the new platform is a unified platform that was designed in partnership with Samsung. But at its core, Wear OS is still Wear OS.<br \/>\nSo Google likely didn\u2019t feel the need to change the name. One could argue that a completely new name would give the software a fresh new face. Which wouldn\u2019t necessarily be a bad thing. Wear OS has had a love\/hate relationship with users for about as long as it\u2019s been around.<br \/>\nThe platform is certainly functional, but even Google finally acknowledged that battery life and performance needed significant improvements. So it set out to create a new unified platform with Samsung. The company who, arguably, makes the best smartwatch platform outside of Apple\u2019s Watch OS.<br \/>\nA new name\u00a0would\u00a0help people understand that there are many changes and improvements to Google and Samsung\u2019s new unified software. But, for continuity\u2019s sake, keeping the same name and just updating the version number makes more sense.<br \/>\nIn addition, keeping the Wear OS branding means simply doesn\u2019t have to come up with new branding. Which would take time, research, and money to complete. So ultimately Google probably spends less money this way too.<br \/>\nThe post The Official Name Of Google&#8217;s New Wear OS Platform Is Wear OS 3 appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Wear-OS-Tizen-Unified-Platform.jpg\" width=\"1232\" height=\"664\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent post on the support forums for Wear OS has Google confirming the new name for the upcoming hybrid [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8273,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8272","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\/8272","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=8272"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8274,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8272\/revisions\/8274"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
