Wear OS 4 Unveiled: Samsung Galaxy Watch will get new apps, features, and Face Format
On May 10, Google officially unveiled the Wear OS 4 wearable operating system, based on Android 13. The new wearable platform brings Watch Face Format, built in partnership with Samsung, allowing developers and designers to easily create high-quality and power-efficient watch faces.
Google’s announcement of the Wear OS 4 launch also comes with two new Google apps for Samsung Galaxy and Pixel smartwatches. The company teased Gmail and Google Calendar applications optimized for your wrist-friendly gadget.
Additionally, the search engine giant revealed that the new Watch Face Format helps the Wear OS 4 become more power efficient, bringing improved battery life. Wear OS 4 will bring even more updates later this year, with new and improved accessibility capabilities like a “faster and more reliable text-to-speech experience.”
Most importantly, Wear OS will also provide backup and restore support, helping you securely transfer data and settings between watches. Moreover, if you’re setting up a watch from your phone, any permissions you’ve granted on your phone will automatically carry over.
It’s worth mentioning that later this year, you’ll be able to access two Google Workspace favorites, Gmail and Google Calendar. Quickly respond to emails in Gmail, check your schedule, view and RSVP to events, and update task statuses in Calendar.
When WhatsApp launches its first-ever smartwatch app in the coming weeks (Beta started), you’ll be able to securely start a new conversation, reply to messages by voice and answer calls from your Wear OS watch — all without taking out your phone.
Three new Spotify tiles are coming soon, so you can easily play new episodes of your favorite podcasts, see what’s in your heavy rotation and jump into a curated lineup of music chosen for you by Spotify’s DJ. Also, you can add the new Peloton tile to track your workout streak and help you reach your fitness goals.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra supremacy continues with its one-of-its-kind anti-reflective screen. Huawei Pura 70 Ultra was in the headlines following the launch but failed to impress when compared to Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra among others.
IceUniverse posted a video showcasing the screen reflection on many flagships. The video displays the light reflection impact on the screens of OPPO Find X7 Ultra, Huawei Pura 70 Ultra, vivo X100 Pro, Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Galaxy S24 Ultra, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Huawei Pura 70 Ultra brings an innovative camera tech, but the lack of an anti-reflective screen can’t be filled with it. Apple also lags behind Samsung in terms of the most stunning screen visibility, and this trend might not be ending anytime soon!
The embedded video showcases the flashlight reflection on panels of all the tested smartphones. Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Max and Chinese flagships including Huawei Pura 70 Ultra failed to reduce the glare of the flashlight, which the S24 Ultra significantly declined.
When tested without a flashlight, the Galaxy S24 Ultra again proved superior among all. Thanks to Corning’s exclusive glass, the OLED offers vibrant colors at full capacity. At the same time, rivals look to producing faded colors, which isn’t an OLED fault, but glass’.

Samsung silently listed Galaxy F15 5G’s 8GB RAM variant in India. The company previously released the device in 4GB and 6GB RAM options, featuring 128GB storage. The latest release brings a third option to the F15 5G, while the memory segment remains unchanged.

There may be differences in technology, but, the larger the RAM, the smoother the device performs. As the F15 5G is here with 8GB RAM, it matched the S24 flagships costing INR 80,000 in India. Well, we hope, the next-gen flagships should have at least 12GB RAM.
