The post Samsung rolls out One UI 5 watch update for Galaxy Watch 4 in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung has started rolling out the OneUI 5 Watch update to its Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5. This update includes a number of new features and improvements. But one of the most interesting new features is support for the Watch Unlock feature. 

The feature was first announced earlier this year as a part of Wear OS 4 and was demonstrated on the Pixel Watch. It works by automatically unlocking your phone when your unlocked smartwatch is nearby. This is similar to how the Apple Watch can unlock an iPhone. 

With the Watch Unlock feature coming to OneUI 5 Watch, users can now unlock their smartphones without entering a PIN, password, or using biometric authentication, as long as they are wearing a Wear OS 4 smartwatch. This would be helpful for scenarios like when users are driving and wearing a helmet, or when their fingers are wet or dirty.

The feature was first discovered by Android enthusiast Mishaal Rahman for the Pixel Watch a few days ago. Ærmando later discovered the Watch Unlock feature (com.google.android.clockwork.active_unlock) in the One UI 5 Watch update.

Also, it’s important to note that, Watch Unlock is a more secure way to keep your phone unlocked than Trusted Devices. Unlike Trusted Devices, which only keep your phone unlocked for a certain period of time, Watch Unlock only unlocks your phone when your smartwatch is also unlocked. To use this feature, you need to set a PIN or password for your smartwatch.

Samsung has announced exciting news for Galaxy Watch users – the upcoming release of the One UI 5 Watch update. The update will be available later this year for select Galaxy Watches, including the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5, both of which currently run on Wear OS 3.

One UI 5 Watch features

The One UI 5 Watch update promises to bring significant upgrades and new features, with a focus on enhancing three main aspects of the user experience: sleep, fitness, and safety. Samsung aims to help users get a better night’s rest through features such as Sleep Insights UI, Sleep Coaching, and better connectivity between Galaxy Watches and SmartThings-compatible devices.

Fitness enthusiasts can look forward to an improved personalized Heart Rate Zone that analyzes physical capabilities and offers tailored running tools, such as real-time running analysis and a customized interval training program. One UI 5 Watch also introduces an expanded Route Workout with the addition of running and walking activities and enables Watch 5 Pro users to access GPX Files through the Samsung Health app.

One UI 5 Watch also provides improved safety features, such as an updated SOS system that enables direct communication to an emergency phone number and relays information regarding the wearer’s location and medical information. Additionally, the update enables Fall Detection by default for users aged 55 or older, making Galaxy Watches a safer option for older adults.

Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 5 users will have the opportunity to beta test One UI 5 Watch through the Samsung Members app. The beta program will be available soon, though Samsung has not yet revealed where it will be available.

Overall, the One UI 5 Watch update promises to bring exciting new features and improvements to enhance the user experience for Galaxy Watch users.

In addition to the upcoming One UI 5 Watch update, Samsung recently collaborated with Pitaka to provide a premium carbon fiber band upgrade for the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 5. Meanwhile, rumors suggest that the tech giant is planning to increase the screen size of its upcoming Galaxy Watch 6.
