Samsung is rolling out its latest operating system One UI 6 based on Wear OS 5 to older Galaxy Watch models.
The rollout is being done in beta phases.
The Galaxy Watch 4 is specifically getting the fourth One UI 6 beta update.
It comes with many upgrades and enhancements with one of the prominent ones being the Global Always-On Display (AOD).
The update is under the firmware version ending with ZXH4.
According to media reports, it is currently available only in South Korea.
However, the update is expected to soon reach other regions as well.
The changelog reveals that this latest update includes some significant upgrades.
Users can expect system and performance optimisations.
Moreover, there will also be some basic network improvements, which is usually what we get in almost all software updates.
As we mentioned before, one of the prominent features of this latest update is the introduction of Global AOD.
This upgraded always-on display feature allows the watch to continue showing the last screen it was on before going to sleep.
The AOD, however, stays on in a dimmed state in order to save as much battery life as it can.
For example, if you’re in the middle of a workout and momentarily stop looking at your watch, the display will still show your workout info, thanks to the AOD feature.
However, the display will be slightly dimmer than usual.
The AOD feature is a welcome addition to the Galaxy Watch as it adds to the overall functionality and usability of an old device.
Customers who have been using the watch for years would surely appreciate Samsung continuing to support the device.
The watch didn’t just receive a software update but also got upgraded features in the process.
The Galaxy Watch 4 was Samsung’s first hybrid watch combining Tizen and Wear OS.
To get the latest version of the OS, users can head into the Galaxy Wearables app and scroll to the bottom of the Watch settings page.
In the section, Watch software update will allow the watch to search for the latest version and update if available.
