As part of the announcement of Android 16 today, a week before Google’s I/O conference, the company has big news for Smartwatch users.
The great design revision in Android 16, called Material 3 Expressive, is coming to Wearables with Wear OS 6.
It is a completely different appearance and a sense of Google’s operating system, which describes it as “emotional UX”, making everything more “liquid, more personal and public”.
Android 16 functions for phones are not obvious for Google-driven smartwatches, but it is nice to see that it is being rolled out over the different form factors.
One of the problems with matching his phones and watches (as well as third -party devices) is the circular display, but material 3 is expressively designed with this in mind.
On Wear OS 6 it contains scrolling animations that trace the curvature of the display, of which Google says it gives you a sense of depth to make information more accessible.
“We have also renewed daily experiences, such as the use of the pin code and mastering media with movement and responsive feedback,” said Google.
Other material 3 Expressive elements that benefit the Pixelwacht 3 include form-morphing elements that adapt to the smaller screen size and dynamic color theme, which applies to the entire system.
In addition, “stretch out shiny buttons” to hug the display “, making them more space-efficient and perhaps. Tiles are also more spacious and more attractive.
It’s all about making everything more intuitive and faster.
In addition to the new look, Google says that Wear OS brings 6 performance improvements. In particular, and gladly, it is more powerful, so it can yield up to 10% longer battery life than before.
Google has also confirmed that Gemini Os comes to wear, together with many other devices.
These are just part of the improvements that come in Wear OS 6, which Google says that you can first try on Pixel devices later this year – including we can assume, the Pixel Watch 4.
