The Korean tech giant, Samsung, has given their wearable users something a bit interesting to explore. By that, we mean, there’s a Galaxy Watch update that will be adding doorbell camera support among other features. The latest Galaxy Watch update will be rolling out to the Galaxy Watch 5, Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, Watch 4, and Watch 4 Classic fortunately and it takes up version number v1.1.08. Let’s take a look at what’s present in the update.
Features of the latest Galaxy Watch update
The benefits offered by the latest Galaxy Watch update from Samsung are quite a few. First off, via the update, the smartwatch will be able to regulate the thermostat by setting the cooling or heating point temperature – you can do this automatically or by manually inputting it yourself. You can also control your fan’s speed and adjust your purifiers as well as find a lost device that has SmartTag attached to it.
You simply get the tag to ring and set it off once you traced where your device is. One interesting feature(and also security driven) from the Galaxy watch update is how you can set a live stream video with your home and doorbell camera. This means that when someone knocks on your door, you can ask who the person is and even engage in a conversation with the person via your watch.
Via the update, you will get full access to your smart TV (through your watch) but your smart TV has to have Bluetooth support. SmartThings can also be accessed by swiping left on your watch face. Well, way to go Samsung, a lot of features for the Samsung wearables via a software update. Meanwhile, the brand is partnering with Matter Protocol to expand the usage of SmartThings, another smooth move from the brand.
