Samsung has told SamMobile<\/a> that the Galaxy Watch 4 series is officially getting the One UI 8 Watch update, which runs on Wear OS 6<\/a>. If you\u2019ve got a good memory, this isn\u2019t totally out of the blue: back in 2022, Samsung promised<\/a> up to four years of One UI Watch and Wear OS updates for the Watch 4 lineup.<\/p>\n However, when Samsung dropped the One UI 8 Watch beta<\/a>, it kind of looked like the Galaxy Watch 4 was being quietly pushed aside. A footnote in the beta release mentioned it was only for the Galaxy Watch 5 or newer, leaving many of us scratching our heads.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n Beta confusion cleared up<\/p>\n (Image credit: Chris Wedel \/ Android Central)<\/p>\n Just when most of us had written off the Watch 4 as yesterday\u2019s news, Samsung obviously had other plans. After some confusion and plenty of speculation online, the company has now officially confirmed that the Galaxy Watch 4 lineup is getting the same fresh coat of software paint that’s rolling out to the newer Galaxy Watches<\/a>.<\/p>\n This marks the last major update for these four-year-old watches, which originally rolled out with Wear OS 3 and One UI Watch 3 out of the box.<\/p>\n One UI 8 Watch packs in a bunch of upgrades you\u2019d think were just for the newer model, like better health tracking, deeper sleep data, and Galaxy AI tricks that Samsung won\u2019t stop talking about.<\/p>\n The Galaxy Watch 4 series is powered by the 4nm Exynos W920 with just two Cortex-A55 cores, so it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess how well One UI 8 Watch will actually run on it. It’s highly probable that some of the fancier, newer features destined for the Galaxy Watch 8<\/a> series might not make it to the older hardware.<\/p>\n Still, it\u2019s a nice move for anyone sticking with their Galaxy Watch 4. Instead of being left behind, the watch is getting a refresh and a few upgrades to keep things feeling new again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What you need to knowNearly four years old and all but forgotten, the Galaxy Watch 4 series just…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3323,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[166,74],"class_list":["post-3322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gadgets","tag-gadgets","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3322"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3322\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/6QcGwVWwAKAMkRPWHY4eCB.jpg\")
