Google today announced that the Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 will get the new Watch OS 5. The latest operating system will roll out to Pixel Watches running Watch OS 3.5 and Watch OS 4 starting today. Users will see a notification on their device when the update is available next week.
The Watch OS 5 update will bring better camera controls to older versions of the smartwatch hardware, as well as add support for the Pixel Recorder and grid-view app launcher. While early reports said Watch OS 5 would also improve battery life, Google didn’t specify how long the new operating system would help these older devices last before needing a recharge.
Google recently released the Pixel Watch 3, which impressed us with its solid battery performance and other upgrades from last year’s Pixel Watch 2. It was the first Pixel smartwatch to boast Watch OS 5 after the operating system debuted on Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra.
Like its siblings, the S25 Ultra is powered by a customized version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which lets the trio of phones process many of their AI experiences on-device. Of course, that’s better for privacy.
While the tradition of including an S Pen in the phone continues (it’s now essentially the long-retired Galaxy Note), Air Commands — which bridged the gap between the two — has bitten the dust. Samsung told Engadget in a briefing that less than one percent of S Pen-toting customers used the feature. And those who did, mostly used it as a camera shutter, which can be easily replicated in other ways. Samsung says removing it reduced its weight some and increased the S Pen’s durability.
Engadget’s Sam Rutherford gained early experience with the Galaxy S25 Ultra and said it “feels like a good phone” and described Samsung’s AI suite as “much more consistent and easier to use”, but also felt the company “could have done more for its most expensive non-folding phone.”
