The Verge said, 'The biggest difference from Samsung's smartwatches so far is that the Galaxy Watch 4 series does not run on its own OS, Tizen. Instead, Samsung announced in May 2021. We have adopted Wear OS Powered by Samsung, which is the result of our collaboration with Google. ”We welcome the decision to utilize Google's ecosystem. According to The Verge, Google calls Wear OS Powered by Samsung Wear OS 3.
However, The Verge also wrote, 'In the short time I tried the Galaxy Watch 4 series, I couldn't see any improvements such as improved battery life or faster app loading.' Still, 'Samsung's smartwatch is a smartphone that has been recommended to Android smartphone users so far, but Samsung used its own software, so I had to feel the limit. Especially Samsung is a third-party app. We had a hard time dealing with it, and there was also the problem that smart watches would not work sufficiently effectively without Samsung smartphones. These problems will be solved in collaboration with Google. ' This collaboration with Google should make it a more attractive smartwatch for Android users.

Android Central said, 'Wear OS is an integral part of the future of Google's mobile experience, and it's clear that Samsung is a perfect partner as an early sign, but the Galaxy Watch 4 series will be released next year. It's just one of ten different Wear OS-powered smart watches, and even Google plans to launch the Pixel Watch in late 2021. Therefore, by styling the Galaxy Watch 4 series UI with One UI, Tizen and Wear OS It's still unclear if Samsung's decision to maintain visual and functional continuity will ultimately be the right decision, but run Google services, Wear OS apps, and Google Assistant on Samsung's smart watches. The fact that it can be done may be one of the reasons why Galaxy users continue to use Samsung devices. '
