Google Assistant coming to Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 this summer
Google and Samsung work closely together for WearOS and that is increasingly noticeable. In the summer, Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 will receive the Google Assistant. With this you can talk to the smartwatch and, for example, control your smarthome via the Google Home app.

The advantage of WearOS is that the Google Assistant works on it, but so far Galaxy Watch 4 is the only smartwatch with this operating system and it lacked the voice assistant. You have to make do with Bixby, Samsung’s voice assistant, which is slightly less popular than ‘the voice of Google Maps’.
Good news for people who are tired of talking to Bixby: Google Assistant is coming to Samsung’s smart watch this summer, it reports on its website. In addition, the Korean tech brand indicates that it wants to further develop its smartwatch software. By this it refers to the use of a voice assistant in more and more apps and the possibility to enable the Health Connect app from Google.

The only thing missing in this good news is what Samsung understands by summer. Is that June 21? Or are we closer to autumn? There is now a new update out for the smart watch, but this party isn’t part of that yet. In fact, it’s not a very exciting update anyway: there are no major new features or apps in that update.
We wrote this in our review about the control of Samsung Galaxy Watch 4: “After setting up the watch, it is explained step-by-step how to operate the watch and you can also practice the operation right away. There are several options for operating the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic: via Bixby voice, the rotating ring or with hand movements. For example, move your wrist up and down twice to take a call or twist your wrist twice if it’s not convenient. You can also navigate between the different tiles or go back a screen by swiping across the screen, but I think it’s just a bit too small for that. I mainly used the rotating ring because it works very quickly and accurately. You also use the top button as a home button and the bottom as a back button.”
