A few days ago Thomas briefly announced the news which will go to Android Wear in the near future. This moment was followed, because LG Urbane LTE goes to the sale and it is this SmartWatch is the first device with Android version Wear marshmallow on board. The list of changes contains several items whose presence will please also users who have not yet commercially available watches.
Not all decisions have been taken regarding rozwju platform Android Wear’m happy, but I understand the concerns and desire to achieve maximum versatility by Google . The company does not want the platform offered by it did not use the potential of openness, which has, and yet she is its most important feature. Android Wear already apply not only to companies technlogiczne, but also for many years and experienced manufacturers of watches. The biggest rival devices with Android Wear, Apple Watch, proved that minimalist plan regarding the functionality of the platform dedicated to watches in may not be enough.
Reading and opportunity to respond to the notice is not enough to attract users. Applications are needed and futuristic features like voice chat. Google had zaregować and we have witnessed how not only makes up for shortcomings but overlooks the front in this race. First – support for cellular networks. Repeatedly I have spoken negatively about the independence SmartWatch and still I will do – this type of gadget is not designed to carry voice conversations. Increasingly, however, I like the vision according to which the watch will remain connected to the Internet even when you are outside the reach of Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth. LG Watch Urbane (2) LTE is the first such device, but I am sure that soon we will see the announcement of more companies looking to expand its portfolio of dysonującego such opportunities SmartWatch.
Support for connectivity to mobile networks is not the end, and only the beginning of the novelties that will be made available for smartwatchy marshmallow. I can even say that I loved the interpretation of gestures supported by the watch with Android Wear. To view the list of recent notifications is sufficient to make only a gentle flick of the wrist is not needed for this second hand. In many everyday situations it is an incredibly useful and Google saw the potential of this solution, which intends to use. That’s why support will be further gestures by which we can pass to your application, open the notification and choose the first available reaction. Mastering new gestures should not be difficult – the movement of your wrist up, down, or from each other is not yet unremarkable and get used to them is only a matter of time. This is a big advantage over Apple’s Watch, which service it is necessary to use the other hand.
There is also the issue that me for this moment a little worried. Google is very proud of the fact that each of smartwatchy with Android Wear is exactly the same working and looking software. Apparently, however, these good times coming to an end. From the text containing the first impressions of using the LG Watch Urbane 2, we learned that the current on the casing of the watch, two additional buttons are not configurable, and assigned action is an application contacts and LG Health. In particular, this second position gives us the opportunity to intervene so the manufacturer’s software, which on it will, because the default shortcut should lead us to Google Fit.
Could Googlers lost all control over it? Or was it intentional act, a kind of nod to the producers, who, under gratitude will be even more involved in the expansion of the market with Android Wear smartwatchy? I have great hopes that this observation has not come of nothing serious and Google will continue to exercise its full custody over every element of the system Android Wear. And so far is the most pay.
