Following yesterday’s availability of the Galaxy Watch 4 beta app, Samsung has released the OTA and changelog for One Ul Watch 4.5 to testers.
Those that have installed the beta update (via Reddit) note that the Galaxy Watch 4 is now running Wear OS 3.5 after previously being on version 3.2. One Ul Watch 4.5 for the Galaxy Watch 4 touts improvements in four areas with notifications seeing the biggest upgrade. From the beta changelog, it sounds like notifications on the Galaxy Watch 4 can display more information, while you can draft message responses and zoom in on emoji.
Hand-in-hand with notifications is text input, with the Samsung Keyboard now supporting a QWERTY layout instead of just T9 typing to provide a Gboard alternative. There should also be seamless switching between keyboard, handwriting, and voice entry, which sounds a bit like Assistant voice typing on the Pixel 6.
Other highlights include some sort of “duo edge/box” complication for watchfaces and a “Dual SIM function.”
