The wearables will mount Android Wear 2.0. The operating system will include support for Google Assistant and integrate standalone apps
Google is set to launch two new smartwatches. The smartwatches will be unveiled soon, probably in early 2017. The wearables, according to the latest rumors, will run on Android Wear 2.0, the new version of the operating system for wearable devices.
The news was reported by theverge.com, which specializes in technology news. The Verge has collected the testimony of Jeff Chang, product manager of Android Wear, which confirmed the rumors that have been circulating on the web for some time. A real Christmas gift for lovers of the green robot. There is no news instead about the house that will collaborate with the Californian company. And Chang does not come clean about it. Quello che si conosce è che i dispositivi indossabili non porteranno sul quadrante né il nome di Google e né quello di Pixel, ma saranno brandizzati con il marchio dell’azienda che realizzerà gli smartwatch.

Google spera che il nuovo sistema operativo arresti la sempre più crescente disaffezione nei confronti del mercato degli smartwatch, come confermano anche i recenti numeri. Una delle ragioni principali che ha frenato il successo dei wearable è la dipendenza dagli smartphone. Android Wear 2.0 introdurrà significative e importanti novità a tal proposito. The new platform, which could be presented at the CES in Las Vegas together with the two watches, will integrate applications that will allow the wearable to work even without interacting with cell phones.
The features of the new Google smartwatches
Among the other features of Android Wear 2.0 there is support for the Google Android Pay payment system and Google Assistant, the new intelligent digital assistant launched with the Pixel. The new software will also be compatible with Google Home smart home technology. Android Wear 2.0 will be able to be used not only by the new Google smartwatches, but also by wearables that mount with the previous version of the operating system. Obviously, in order to support the update they will have to have technical characteristics compatible with the new version.
