BREAKING: Samsung begins Wear OS 5 development for Galaxy Watch 6

Samsung seems to have started Wear OS 5 development on the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. The company’s smartwatches run the One UI Watch operating system on top of Google’s Wear OS. The first major update entered the development phase.

Matthew / X discovered evidence meaning Wear OS 5 is under development for Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. The next Wear OS version is expected to be based on Android 14, and slated to boost performance and efficiency for better user experience.

New test firmware spotted on CheckFirm bumps the OS character to “B” for Watch 6 Classic. As the latest wearables haven’t got any major upgrades, their firmware keeps “A” at the OS point. This indicates that the development has been kickstarted by Samsung developers.
