It has long been speculated that Samsung will use Google's Wear OS instead of the company's revered Tizen OS in its upcoming Galaxy Watch 4. That news was somewhat confirmed at yesterday's Google I/O 2021 event. Google and Samsung have agreed to combine Wear OS and Tizen OS in order to create a more competitive competitor to Apple's watchOS.

Samsung Wear OS x Google Wear OS Tizen OS: Because Samsung and Google are serious about wearables, the merger of Tizen and Wear OS is expected to bring a slew of new features. For the time being, the collaboration of both wearable platforms is simply referred to as "Wear." However, the final name could be something completely different.

Prior to Google's confirmation, Samsung's Senior Vice President, Mr. Janghyun Yoon, issued a statement confirming that future Galaxy Watches will run Google's Wear OS.

Characteristics

The Samsung representative did not reveal much about the company's upcoming smartwatches. He did, however, state that existing Tizen OS-based smartwatches will receive three years of software updates from the time they were released.

Google, on the other hand, stated that the collaborative effort would result in significant improvements. Among the promises made are improved battery life, 30 percent faster app loading times, and smoother animations. The search giant went on to say that the platform isn't just for Google and Samsung, implying that other brands can add their own skin on top of it.

It will also provide a unified platform for Android smartwatch OS, making development easier. Google also confirms that the combination of Wear OS and Samsung Tizen OS will result in a greater variety of apps and watch faces than ever before.

Aside from that, the next Wear update will include Fitbit expertise health features, with an emphasis on wellness and health. It will include features such as tracking your health progress throughout the day and goal celebrations on the wrist. Google hopes that this will keep you motivated on your path to better health.
