Wear OS devices are usually too bulky, slow, and\/or have sucky battery life. And while Samsung largely addressed the battery life problem by going with its own Tizen OS devices, app support for Galaxy Watches has been lackluster.<\/p>\n<p>Now the two companies are joining forces to create a better, faster, and more efficient Wear OS, \u201cbringing the best of Wear and Tizen into a single, unified platform.\u201d Though the companies didn\u2019t unveil any new hardware today, there\u2019s hope Android smartwatches can finally take on the Apple Watch.<\/p>\n<p>Google says it\u2019s been able to make apps start \u201cup to 30% faster\u201d on the latest chips and optimized the software to allow you to \u201c<span>run the heart rate sensor continuously during the day, track your sleep overnight and still have battery for the next day.\u201d The proof is in the pudding, but a man can dream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Speed optimizations aside, Google has made several improvements to the user experience, including shortcuts for accessing recent apps, and more ways to customize your home screen. Key to this are new Tiles that are able to show information from your favorite apps at a glance.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1351431 size-full js-lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/Tiles.gif\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/news\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fplugged%2F2021%2F05%2F18%2Fgoogle-samsung-smartwatch-powercouple%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: Tiles in action\" data-title=\"Share Tiles in action on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share Tiles in action on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>Tiles in action<\/figcaption><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1351431 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/05\/Tiles.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Wear OS is also getting a refreshed look with Google\u2019s new \u2018Material You\u2019 design language, alongside redesigned Google Maps, Assistant, and Pay experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Google also notes that this update isn\u2019t only coming to Google and Samsung devices, and will be available to all device makers.
