TL;DR
- A teardown of a One UI 8 Watch app has revealed a new charging animation for the upcoming smartwatch software.
- This animation is in line with that of One UI 7 on smartphones, suggesting a more consistent look and feel between devices.
Samsung is working on the One UI 8 Watch software, which is expected to launch later this year. We’ve already discovered plenty of details about this new software, and it looks like it has a nifty new charging animation too.
An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.
We conducted a teardown of Samsung’s Diagnostics app (version 1.0.08.14), which is preloaded on One UI 8 Watch, and discovered a new charging animation for the upcoming software. Check it out in the clip below, which compares the new animation to the current One UI 6 Watch charging animation.
This new charging animation would be in line with that of One UI 7 on Galaxy phones. So we’re glad to see Samsung apparently offering some consistency between its devices.
