Releases of Wear OS have usually been very few, but that could change dramatically. Rumor has it that Samsung and Google are speeding up the update schedule for the latest OS versions based on Android 14 Wear OS 5 coming as soon as possible. Android 14 was released last October for Google Pixel smartphones , bringing new and improved features to the world of mobile devices. However, Open , Google's operating system designed for smart watches and other wearable devices, despite having entered the market only three months ago, is still based on the Android 13 version. But Wear OS could soon be upgraded to the latest stable build of Android, if the latest rumors from 9to5Google are anything to go by.
It seems Fax Lists that the publication has secret information about what Samsung and Google are cooking for the wearable market, seeing that the former company is actively working to support Android 14 on the Exynos 5535 chip . The Exynos 5535 is Samsung's latest processor for wearable gadgets and is expected to power the Galaxy Watch 7 series of smartwatches. 9to5Google stated that the Android 14 build in "several places" is called "Wear OS 5" to work properly on the Galaxy Watch 7. The latest version of Wear OS available for consumer devices is Wear OS 4. If these rumors are confirmed, the Wear OS 5 update will mark a new development in the era of traditional Android-derived platform releases. Recent versions of Wear OS have been known to lose Android versions, ranging from Android 9 to Android 11 and finally to Android 13 with the current version of Wear OS 4.
It seems that Wear OS 5 will receive Android 14 code, Google is focused on providing wearable devices with the same annual upgrade cycle that is already adopted for smartphones. The new annual schedule will also affect Android TV, as the Android TV 14 beta has been available for download since last summer. The Wear OS 4 update brought new power optimizations to make apps run as smoothly and efficiently as possible on wearable gadgets, a "Material You" interface design, and new ways to develop wearable-specific apps. Wear OS 4 also improved battery life and provided native backups, improving user privacy with new and more granular app permissions to access health data and background body sensors.
