Samsung releases One UI 5 Watch update for Galaxy Watch 4 in India
Samsung has started rolling out a major One UI 5 Watch update for the Galaxy Watch 4 series in India. The update is based on Google’s Wear OS 4 and it brings new features, enhancements, and the July 2023 security patch.
One UI 5 Watch update for Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic in India can be identified through firmware ending with HWH5. Users will have to download a 1.7GB installtion package size to install the update.
The latest update improves the health and fitness tracking capabilities of the Galaxy Watch devices. It introduces Sleep Coaching and heart rate zones as new features to help users improve their sleep quality and cardio workouts.
Sleep Coaching provides personalized advice and tasks based on the user’s sleep patterns. Heart rate zones show the intensity of the user’s heart activity during cardio exercises. These features help users monitor and optimize their health and wellness.
Moreover, this software adds new watch faces that suit different styles and moods. Some of these watch faces were launched with the Galaxy Watch 6, which is Samsung’s latest smartwatch model. The Galaxy Watch 6 has minor hardware enhancements over the previous generation and runs One UI 5 Watch by default.
Back in August 2024, Samsung released the One UI 6 Watch Beta for its Galaxy Watch 4, Galaxy Watch 5, and Galaxy Watch 6 models. This update is currently available only in the US and South Korea. However, there’s good news for Galaxy Watch users in other countries as Samsung might open up the One UI Beta program to more countries in the year 2025.
Right now, the One UI Watch Beta program is limited to these two countries as Samsung collects feedback and makes changes to ensure that any issues are fixed before a wider release. The feedback from these initial testers is important for improving the software.
According to the Samsung community moderator, the beta program is currently only in the US and South Korea, and it is expected to expand to more regions in the future. However, the expansion of the One UI Watch Beta program is expected but not yet confirmed.
Samsung is currently working to manage the beta testing process to ensure that when they do expand, it will be smooth and error-free for all users.
For those eager to participate but currently outside the US and Korea, the wait might not be too long. Samsung is expected to expand the One UI Watch Beta to more countries next year.
Aside from this, the stable version of One UI 6 Watch is expected to be released shortly, as the beta phase for One UI 5 has already been completed. Stay tuned for further updates.
