Google announced Wear OS 3 for smartwatches way back in 2021, bringing faster performance, improved battery life, and support for software skins. We may have had to wait a while, but Google has finally revealed that Wear OS 4 is on the way.

The company confirmed at its I/O developer conference that Wear OS 4 is coming later this year, although it didn’t give a release window for the rollout. We can only speculate that the platform might debut when Samsung reveals the Galaxy Watch 6 series in Q3 2023.
