One UI 6 Watch Beta (ZXH4) rolling out to Galaxy Watch 4, Watch 5 with Global AOD

Samsung starts rolling out the latest One UI 6 Watch Beta to Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 5. The initial rollout is taking place in South Korea, with availability expanding gradually. The new Beta comes with a PDA build version ending with ZXH4.

The changelog suggests the One UI 6 Watch Beta (ZXH4) brings various improvements to Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 5. The first change is mentioned as system stabilization and performance optimization for better functioning.

Users may have reported excessive battery drain in Beta. Hence, Samsung included improvements in battery consumption to offer longer battery life. We recommend you reset your Watch after installing the Beta for even more notable results.

The firmware also enhances app launch speed for better fluency. Users with certain carriers were also facing network issues on cellular models. Most of the network-related bugs have been addressed in the new Beta update.

Interestingly, the changelog listed “Global AOD support” as well. It shows a dimmed version of non-homescreen tiles that you were on before AOD kicked in, with the clock/time overlay on top of it, killing the need to wake up the wearable.

You may have received an OTA update if enrolled in the Beta Program. Check your smartwatch for the latest version or Galaxy Wearable app. Maintain proper network and charging on your device at the time of download and installation.
