Samsung says it is working closely with Google to onboard Google Assistant and other popular Google services. Bixby hasn’t gained traction like other voice assistants and can’t compete with Google Assistant in terms of popularity. This leaves us with Samsung’s default assistant, Bixby. Users will find Google Maps and Google Play Store, but Google Assistant has yet to make an appearance. While the Galaxy Watch 4 is a product of the Google/Samsung dream team, it seems Google wasn’t made an immediate priority. This means most recent Huawei phones are also out of luck. What’s more, these watches won’t work with smartphones that don’t have GMS. It also raises the question of whether future Wear OS 3.0 watches will work with iPhones or if it is just Samsung’s watches (with the Samsung One UI overlay) that aren’t compatible. And while most iPhone users will probably buy Apple Watches, the lack of iOS support eliminates these watches as an alternative. In the past, Galaxy Watches worked with iPhones, as did previous Wear OS watches. This is a bit of a departure for Samsung. The devices aren’t compatible with iPhones Samsung’s latest flagship smartwatches pack a few disappointing limitations, including compatibility limits and missing features. These watches boast a boatload of impressive features, but a closer look shows exclusivity that leaves some users out to dry. In August 2021, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, marking the debut of the new Wear OS, Google’s operating system co-developed with Samsung.
