Samsung Galaxy Watch4 owners can add another app to their arsenal, as Google Assistant is available for download on your device. Google-based apps ranging from entertainment to GPS directions are available to users, with apps like YouTube Music, Google Maps and Google Pay on the Wear OS platform.
These apps are especially useful for users looking to increase their ability to listen to playlists and podcasts, shop or travel without having to use a secondary device other than the one they already have on their wrist to do so. The Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Google Assistant is also intended to provide users with greater ease of use with faster, more natural voice interactions, quick answers to questions, and on-the-go assistance.

What does TechRepublic do?
Once downloaded and activated by Google Assistant, it can be run in the clock app tray. Users can also invoke the Google Assistant by voice or by assigning the home button to run it while holding down. The app can also run independently on the Galaxy Watch4 and can be used on the watch even if Google Assistant is not installed on the mobile device. Combining the use of the Samsung Bixby voice assistant application with the platform gives users access to exceptional voice assistant functionality from the clock.
Creating Wear OS allows Android developers to move the code of their smartphone apps to help them create Wear OS apps. Galaxy users can download the Wear OS compatible app from the Google Play Store and automatically designate to install the same app on their Galaxy Watch as well.
Fitness is also key for Samsung, as the company strives to improve the health and well-being of its users through the Health Connect app. Through Health Connect, users can control everything from exercise to nutrition and sleep everything on their Galaxy Watch4.
In terms of watch specifications, the watch itself has 16 GB of memory, a 5 nm processor and offers “20% faster CPU and 50% more RAM and a GPU 10 times faster” compared to the previous generation smartwatch, according to Samsung. The screen resolution of up to 450 by 450 pixels and 40 hours of use per charge complete the featured specifications.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch can be found on Amazon, Samsung, Best Buy and other retailers and is now available for integration with Google Assistant. The price of the Galaxy Watch4 Bluetooth starts at $ 449.
