News & Reviews:   SmartWatch

Today, Google announced its plans to expand the Gemini AI Assistant beyond smartphones. The big giant tech company wants to integrate it into various Android devices, such as smartwatches, TVs, and even vehicles that support the Android system platform.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch smartwatches have long been a favourite for many tech fans. They're feature-rich and sport high-end hardware, including an AMOLED display. However, the company could opt for a Micro LED display for a specific model in the future.

As the title suggests, the WhatsApp smartwatch app is now available on Wear OS. It was announced by Mark Zuckerberg a few hours ago via his Meta Channel broadcast.

WhatsApp is definitely one of the most used social messaging apps around the world, but it's not fully optimised when it comes to a smartwatch and is non-existent on the Apple Watch Series. That may change, though, as users can finally use WhatsApp via the WristChat app on the Apple Watch.

POCO will venture into more product segments this year besides making smartphones. The brand is expected to begin the new journey by launching a smartwatch soon. Today, the wearable gadget has also been found on several certification platforms.

Google Wear OS is bringing this not-so-significant but much-appreciated feature to the wearables soon. It's reported that the upcoming update will finally allow users to flip the display according to the orientation of the smartwatch.

Not long ago, we've heard that Google could launch a new smartwatch in 2022. The wearable gadget is suggested to be put under the Pixel lineup, expanding the product catalogue of the popular franchise. Now, the smartwatch's design might have been leaked, revealing a round and bezel-less display as stated.

Not only the smartphone business, it looks like HUAWEI has also invested a lot of money and effort in the research for its wearables. Recently, the company has opened its largest Health Lab in Songshan Lake, Dongguan, China. Besides studying health-related technology, the new 4,680m² facility also supports the research, incubation and testing of smart wearable products.

With so many companies making smartwatches these days, it's hard to stand out from the crowd. You've probably heard of AmazFit a few times, as the company has a small presence in Malaysia. Well, the company is promising some new things for its next smartwatch.

For those who didn't know, Google's Wear OS 3.0 brought cool features to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. One of them is offline music, which was eventually added to Wear OS 2.0 devices. Spotify got this update last month, and now YouTube Music has the same update.
