          can they include meta needle to digitized bacteria and viruses and send sample to server to create bio-digital antivirus ... the hard part is dac to translate the digital antivirus to bio antivirus, all the best for the professors

            The IRONY; it was never great so the ambition might be to make it "great" but not great "again"!! They have a long way to go to make it great; but as they say, every journey begins with the first step. Noticed the conspicuous absence of a MAPS app on the watch; that requires some RAM and ROM which does not seem inherently available in WEAR OS driven hardware (yet) except for a few Qualcom 4100+ cases.

              Just asking, how is Google making money with WearOS ? because as far as i know they are not a charity.

                I hope they give a wear os update to old hardware with these new changes instead of ditching the old hardware.

                    uk7866, 18 May 2021Sounds good but is 5 years too late 😄This exactly. Not impressed by any of this. The new generations of fitness bands are infinitely more efficient and generally much cheaper and do about 80% of any of these fancy wear OS.

                      Samsung must have gotten some deal from Google. Nobody in their right mind throws away a fully mature home grown OS .

                          Ticwatch 3 pro with wear OS and SD 4100 has the same smoothness and better battery than the galaxy watch 3.

                            So I was right. Samsung wouldn't just abandon Tizen. So I guess the perk is that they'll be helping google improve WearOS and this might be a win-win for both companies.

                              I hope the result will be WearOS as smooth as Tizen
                              then we have a win-win

                                  "make wear os great again" sounds like a campaign slogan lol
