Galaxy Watch 5 gets One UI 6 Watch beta 7 update

The Galaxy Watch 5 series is catching up with the Watch 6 in the beta program. Last week, Samsung rolled out the One UI 6 Watch beta 8 update for the Galaxy Watch 6 series, and today, the company has turned its attention toward the older Galaxy Watch 5 models.

Today, the Beta Operation Manager on the official Community Forums in Korea has revealed that One UI 6 Watch beta 7 is now rolling out for the Galaxy Watch 5 series. Beta participants in Korea can now download this latest firmware, which brings the Watch series closer to a final public One UI release.

The new beta 7 update for the Watch 5 series appears to have a similar changelog as the beta 8 update for the Watch 6. That, or a new changelog hasn't been provided yet.

Assuming the changelogs are indeed similar across the two betas, this new firmware for the Galaxy Watch 5 brings:

System stabilization.
Performance optimization.
Improvements to battery life.
Improved network connection for some operators (LTE models).
Other miscellaneous improvements.

Mihai is a blogger and column writer at SamMobile. His first Samsung phone was an A800 which took a lot of beating, and a part of him still misses the novelty of the clamshell design. In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
