  • Samsung might skip over the One UI 7 Watch update and go straight to One UI 8 Watch.
  • The company is reportedly planning this to match its smartwatch software with that of its phones.
  • One UI 8 is expected to be released in beta form next month.
  • It’s unclear whether One UI 8 Watch will be based on Wear OS 6 or Wear OS 5.1.

Samsung just rolled out One UI 7, and naturally, Galaxy Watch owners have been expecting an upgrade too. Samsung is currently running One UI 6 Watch based on Wear OS 5 on its smartwatches, and One UI 7 Watch based on Wear OS 5.1 would have been the next step up. However, reports now indicate that Samsung may skip over this version entirely.
