Samsung faced some pretty big delays with its latest software offerings under the One UI name. However, the company is not letting that slow it down. According to a new report, Samsung is already working on One UI 8 Watch, and it could come with an antioxidant index feature.
We are only a few months away from Samsung’s latest Unpacked event, and we have a solid idea of what the company is going to talk about. Obviously, it’s going to introduce its latest foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Along with that, we expect the company to announce the Galaxy Z Flip FE.
However, smartwatch enthusiasts will be more excited about the Galaxy Watch 8 series. These will be the company’s latest smartwatches, and we don’t know too much about what they’ll bring to the table. What we do know is that Samsung plans to load One UI 8 Watch onto them.
One UI 8 Watch could have an antioxidant index feature
As with any early information, you will want to take this with a grain of salt. This was discovered via an APK deep dive performed by Android Authority. So, Samsung has not officially announced this. However, the company does have a dedicated page explaining the antioxidant index in Samsung Health.
According to the deep dive, you will have to actually take your smartwatch off to use the sensor. Once you do that, you will press the pad of your thumb in the center of the sensor on the back of the watch. This means that you won’t be able to track the scanning process on the smartwatch’s display, but you will be able to use the Samsung Health app on your phone.
That’s pretty simple and straightforward, but we’re not sure how many people will find it convenient to physically take off their smartwatch to get a reading. This shows that we may be reaching the limit of what sort of sensors we can load onto smartwatches. Usually, smartwatches can comfortably sit on your wrist while taking measurements. However, it seems we’re getting to the point where companies are starting to reach their limits.
In any case, being able to monitor your antioxidant index might be a selling point of One UI 8. It’s just important to note that the readings you get from your smartwatch may not be 100% accurate. It is always best to consult a doctor for the best results.
