Google and Samsung join forces to make Wear OS great again

18 May 2021
The two companies are working together on the new platform, apparently.

Omg Samsung 😔
Hate Sammy OS so much, I have the S21 ultra and the Tab S7 and I can live with those, but I miss my good old Mate 20X and EMUI, yes emui.
Scammy Sammy.

    Improve battery life to like one week instead of every other day.

      Hopefully they will improve the power consumption in the damn wear OS and then they can do whatever with it, until then I'll stick with none wear OS smartwatchs.

They say "Google - Samsung collaboration" and "Wear OS - Tizen merger", but I think what they really mean is that Samsung gives up Tizen in favour of Wear OS and Google just opens Wear OS to re-skinning with custom overlays.

          i really dont have good felling after remembring google last number of partnerships with HTC, HUAWEI and LG

              Hope Garmin make some improve becose they make sport watches but a lot of people want use them as a smartwaches.
              Garmin needs LTE, ECG, improved mapping support, gym, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal support.

                Samsung with its excellent hardware combined with Wear os is something I've been waiting for

                  Sounds good but is 5 years too late 😄

                    Well it can't be worse that it's now so ... hurray I guess.
