Wear OS misses Material You: Here’s how Samsung Galaxy Watch looks with Colour Palette [Gallery/Concept]
With the Android 12 operating system, Google introduced Material You theming for Android smartphones that sync with the phone’s wallpaper and applies a similar theme through the user interface. The new Wear OS 3.5 for Android smartwatches is here but unfortunately, it does not adopt Material You.
Meanwhile, to give us an idea of how smartwatches will look when dynamic themes are implemented on them, a shining concept creator and Galaxy fan named @Vetrox360 has created visionary images of the Samsung Galaxy Watch with the Colour Palette feature.

Explaining the implementation of Colour Palette on the Samsung Galaxy Watch, the creator said that users will be able to select a palette when they switch to a new watch face/wallpaper on their wearables.

At the same time, he also suggets that users will be able to sync the watch with their Galaxy phones. So whenever you change the theme of your phone, it will also be applied to your paired watch. This way, both your smartwatch and your smartphone will adopt the same theme and look the same.
As we can see in the shared images, the theme is applied to the quick settings panel of the wearable, its app screen, music controller, as well as sports mode screen.
I don’t know when Samsung or Google will implement the Material You function in their wearables. However, it does not seem impossible for these companies as both are known for their avant-garde creations.
This concept from Vetrox360 is so good and it’s a great idea to fully customize your wearable just like you do with your smartphone. See the screenshots below for a clear look:
Fitbit 4.01 is starting to roll out on Android, bringing new Steps Widget and live wallpaper. The latest version comes with an updated Material You widget and a live wallpaper for step count.
The new “Fitbit Steps Widget” of Fitbit version 4.01 replaces the “Fitbit Primary Goal Widget.” A speed dial design is used while the step count is now inside the shape rather than being located below it, via 9to5Google.

“Displaying daily steps progress,” this “Fitbit Steps Wallpaper” employs a portrait-oriented pill-shaped ring to indicate activity. The differences between the old and new UI are jarring. In other things, there’s still no dark theme.
Samsung could introduce an affordable pair of wireless earbuds – Galaxy Buds FE in early October. As we wait for an official announcement, renders and specs of the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 leak.
According to the info, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 renders show it looks identical to its predecessor. Design-wise, the only change that can be seen is the metallic finish on the earbuds, while the weight could be 4.77 grams each.

OnePlus Buds Pro 3 reportedly packs 10.4mm (woofer) and 6mm (tweeter). The upcoming earbuds are also said to bring 48dB Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) support as well as IP55 rating for dust and water resistance.
Additionally, the earbuds will have Bluetooth v5.3, Google Fast pair, and dual connection support. It’s said that the battery life could be 9 hours, similar to the Buds 2 Pro when ANC is turned off.
September 2023 is going on and Samsung has started releasing a new update for Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic in India. This update brings the June 2023 security patch to improve system security.
The latest software improves system stability and reliability to provide a better performance and bug-free experience. However, the official changelog nowhere mentions that the update brings any features with the smartwatches.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 series users can identify the September 2023 update in India with the ending version AWI1. It carries an updated package size of 171.38MB.
Users can download this update through the Galaxy wearable app on a connected Android phone and navigate to Watch settings >> Watch software update >> Download and install. If an update is available, tap the Update now option, and on the Watch software update’ screen, tap Install now.
