Samsung has announced that its Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic models will not receive the upcoming One UI 9 Watch operating system update. These devices, released in 2021, have already received four major OS upgrades and are now considered too old for further support. While newer models like the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will receive five major OS upgrades, owners of older devices are encouraged to consider upgrading to ensure they receive bug fixes, new features, and security updates.
