New Android Wear officially. Finally! – Antyweb

It is difficult today could remember exactly when, the first unofficial information about plans for Google to update Marshmallow for watches with Android Wear, but this afternoon finally Google presented them on your blog. New products are divided into three categories, and no doubt they introduce features that users expect and need for a long time.

As soon as Apple presented the opportunity to make phone calls via the SmartWatch it became clear that Google will be forced sooner or later, this function also equip its platform for smartwatchy. Announced for a long time becomes a reality – thanks to the built-in speaker on newer models of watches holders will be able to make voice calls, even without the participation of the smartphone in the process. The only model, who is allowed – LG Watch Urbane LTE – was withdrawn from the market, but it is quite possible that as the first independent SmartWatch with Android Wear will next be another model.

Of course, thanks to this new possible state also listen to audio messages sent via instant messaging such as Google Hangouts, Nextplus, Telegram, Viber, WeChat and WhatsApp. In the list of missing Messenger from Facebook, but changed soon. While Glide application will allow you to exchange audio messages and video using SmartWatch with Android Wear.

the most interesting of all the news, however, is the introduction of support for new gestures. This totally changed my daily interaction with the watch and made it much more convenient and the productive. Not all tasks can be, however, in this way do so Google decided to do one more step forward by equipping the platform in a few new ones. The list of notifications (cards), we can scroll through, and from now on it will be possible to expand them (or simply displaying the full message content), navigate to the list of applications, and return to the main screen. All this will cause the phone will reach even less.

Google is not reported to date a date for the upgrade, but it should not take longer than 2-3 weeks. Much also depends on the producers themselves, but because of the lack of openness of Android Wear, the implementation process of renovation is much faster than in the case of smartphones.
