Believe it or not, the Gear S2 smartwatch is getting a new firmware update. Version R730AUCU3CQK1 is rolling out as we speak, according to Tizen Help, and it brings the Galaxy Watch Active 2 UI along with it. The update also improves battery life and security, and all of these new goodies come wrapped in a 6.79MB package.
This is quite an unexpected turn of events. A couple of years have passed since the Gear S2 has last seen a firmware update, and not only is the smartwatch approaching its 5th anniversary – which is quite a long time on the market to receive new firmware – but Samsung went the extra mile to include the new UI. It should breathe fresh life into the wearable, even as the launch of a new Galaxy Watch seems to be looming.
At the moment, it’s not clear where exactly the new update is rolling out and how long it will take to reach your device, wherever you may happen to reside. But, as usual, you can check for new updates by launching the Galaxy Wearable app on your connected smartphone, accessing Watch software update, and tapping Download and install if applicable.
