In summer Android Wear 2.0, the new version of the operating system for smart watches, was introduced. However, a final version has not officially reached the devices because a launch was expected before the end of the year, but it has not occurred, being only the developer version available. Now it has been announced that Android Wear 2.0 is delayed until next year, 2017.
Android Wear 2.0 lags
It will certainly be bad news for all users who have any of the recent smartwatches. If you were waiting for the update to the new version of Android Wear so that the functions of your watch were extended, now you are going to have to wait longer, or even give up the new features that may arrive. The main reason why Google has decided to delay Android Wear 2.0 is to have time to work on more features that come to the new version, mainly related to the Google Play Store and applications. However, it must also be said that another reason that facilitates this delay is that no manufacturer of smart watches that is focused on technology, such as Lenovo, Huawei, Sony, LG or company, have recently launched a watch or are going to. launch soon, which means that Google is in no rush to release the software for any smartwatch. Thus, it will not arrive until 2017.
This can be a problem, because that means that Google also does not give relevance to the watches that are already available. And maybe it is that you think that they are not going to release this update for many smartwatches.
Among the novelties that will come to Android Wear 2.0, what stands out the most is what has to do with the applications. The dependency that the smart watch has on the smartphone to install the applications is over. Now users can install apps directly from the watch, connect to the store, choose the applications they want and have them on the smart watch, without the need for them to be on the smartphone.
For now, yes, it is possible that more news will arrive at Android Wear 2.0 before it is officially announced. What is clear is that it is something that we should not give much importance to at the moment ... because it will not arrive until 2017.
