We are just a few weeks away from the Galaxy Unpacked event on August 5 and details have been constantly leaking about the latest line of five Samsung devices. Today, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 brought its official app to the Play Store, revealing new features including gestures for managing calls and taking photos.
This afternoon, XDA’s Max Weinbach dived deep into the Galaxy Watch 3 app to see what amazing features the new watch will bring to the table. Our own APK Insight team was able to confirm and complement their findings.
Some of the most interesting features that come with the Galaxy Watch 3 are two new smart watch gestures. The first, a simple flick of the wrist, is a fairly traditional gesture to silence any active alarm or incoming call. The other involves clenching and releasing your fist, which can answer an incoming call or take a photo in the camera app.
Rotate your wrist to silence alarms and incoming calls.
Clench and open your fist to answer a call.
Make a fist and open it again to take a photo or video in the Camera Controller app.
Elsewhere in the app, our team discovered that Samsung is working to make its watches more accessible, especially for the visually impaired. For starters, you should be able to control the size of the text, icons, and content on your screen to make it bigger if necessary. Or, to help introduce contrast and reduce eyestrain, you will have the option to use Samsung’s color lens.
Select the size of the icons, text and controls.
Add a color filter across the screen. This can help make the text easier to read.
Finally, the app reconfirms the new watch faces arriving on the Galaxy Watch 3, as previously leaked a few weeks ago. If more than one of the new watch faces catches your interest and can’t decide which one, you’re in luck. Our team found evidence that the Galaxy Watch 3 offers a way to automatically shuffle the faces of your favorite watches.
Pick your favorite watch faces to shuffle around so you never get bored.
