To not regret buying Galaxy Watch 4 ··· What You Need to Know

 

After the Galaxy Unpack 2021 event was held on the 11th, a lot of attention was paid to the Galaxy Watch 4 series. When sales began at Samsung Dotcom, the website was paralyzed. As such, the product is well-made to meet consumer expectations.

The Galaxy Watch 4 is an attractive smart watch for fitness enthusiasts as it adds healthcare functions that received favorable reviews in its previous work and measures body components used in home smart weighing systems. In addition, the price of the previous production has been set at a lower price than that of the previous production, which has also improved the cost-effectiveness.

However, there is something important to know before purchasing Watch 4 series. Although the outward product concept does not look much different from the previous production, much of it has changed internally.

The Galaxy Watch 4 series is equipped with 'Wear OS 3.0', an operating system created by Samsung Electronics and Google. Therefore, there may be differences in compatibility or functionality because the system structure has changed from previous works based on Tizen.

Android Authority, a U.S. IT media that delivers news on Android, introduced what consumers must know before purchasing the Galaxy Watch 4.

First, the Galaxy Watch 4 cannot be used with the iPhone. The previous works could be paired and used with a dedicated application called 'Samsung Galaxy Watch' on the iPhone. However, devices equipped with WareOS 3.0 cannot be connected through this app. It is not clear whether future updates will enable connectivity.

Not only iPhone but also Android devices that do not have Google Mobile Service (GMS) installed can not be connected to Galaxy Watch 4. Galaxy wearable applications need to be downloaded from the Play Store because devices without Google mobile services cannot use the Play Store. Among the models corresponding to this is the latest Huawei smartphone that is banned from using Google apps.

Secondly, other than Samsung Galaxy Watch all of the four manufacturers launch Android smartphone, feature can not be used.Android, according to Authority, and an electrocardiogram and blood pressure measurement functions require health monitor apps for Samsung Galaxy for other brands of smartphones, can not be written.Bioelectrical Impedance using (bia) sensor impedance analysis measurements, blood oxygen saturation (2 spo) and (2 vo) maximum oxygen consumption measurements cheseongbun major Android device can be used in renal function is not the Galaxy.

Finally, the Galaxy Watch 4 is not equipped with Google Assistant. This seems to be due to the replacement of Samsung's voice secretary service "Bixby." Android Badgerity criticized Bixby for not being as popular as Google Assistant.

Samsung Electronics announced that it is working with Google to install popular Google services including Google Assistant on its smartwatch. Although there is a possibility that Google Assistant will be added to Galaxy Watch 4 through firmware updates in the future, it cannot be optimistic because nothing has been decided.
