Rumor: Android Wear getting speakers and phone support
The rumor mill is starting up again, and this time its with Android Wear. A source told Artem Russakovskii that Android Wear could be getting speakers and on-watch calling support.
While these ideas are certainly not new by any means, it would be new to Android Wear, and it would open up a lot of cool possibilities to partners, such as LG and Motorola.
It’s certainly not a far-fetched rumor, considering that the Apple Watch already has these convenient features. As you can imagine, Google would want to bring speakers and calling support to smartwatches as soon as possible to stay competitive.
As Russakovskii said in his Google Plus post, there’s no official timing on these features. However, he does say that a watch with speaker hardware is coming soon. Possibly a smartwatch that is something like LG’s Watch Urbane LTE?
With how popular smartwatches have been and an expected announcement of a new Android version at Google I/O, we’re hoping we’ll hear something more official at Google’s developer conference.
In the meantime, what do you think of speaker and phone call support on Android Wear? Would you use it on your smartwatch?
