Upcoming Wear OS update will feature widget-like ‘Tiles’ for common actions

With the introduction of Tiles, it will be possible to pick from an assortment of new screens that appear in a swipeable carousel from the watch face. Tiles can be arranged in whatever order you like, but the current list is fairly short, adding up to just six. I'm not entirely sure what Google's future plans for Wear OS are. I wear a Wear OS smartwatch every day, but it's an older model with limited performance - I'd love to get something newer, but there simply aren't any. Most of them still use Qualcomm's terrible 2100 SoC, and while some do use the newer 3100 SoC, it's barely a step up and simply not worth the price of admission. Google's Wear OS is held hostage by a disinterested Qualcomm, which in turn means Google isn't really doing a whole lot to advance the platform either. Either Qualcomm gets off its butt, or Google develops its own SoC. If not, Wear OS will continue to languish.
