The next Android Wear update will bring battery life improvements

If you are using an Android Wear based watch at the moment, you may have noticed that the battery life may be a bit poor, well Google has acknowledged this and in the latest release of Android Wear, version 1.3 it added interactive notifications along with a couple of other additions. But if you’re having battery issues a fix in the form of version 1.4 is coming soon.

This news originally came from Android Police and they have noticed a few additional changes and removal of features. One thing that Google has taken away is the ability to check the in-depth battery usage, this is similar to a feature on Android and iOS which allows you to view which apps were using up the battery. Android Police has also noted that a file within the software has revealed that Google is working on adding a number of features for Android Wear watches that have the compatible models, a few mimic the feature set of the Apple Watch. To name a few, Android Wear owners will be able to make and receive phone calls and have new gestures for controlling the watch with one hand.

Also support for Mandarin, Cantonese, Polish and more is added.
