Google is gearing up to introduce Bluetooth LE Audio support in the upcoming Wear OS 5 update, allowing for more efficient music streaming on smartwatches. This feature, which requires less power than Bluetooth Classic, will likely be included in new smartwatches launching with Wear OS 5. By using Bluetooth LE Audio, users can enjoy their favorite audio content while working out without draining their device's battery. Initial support for this technology was added in Android 13, with further enhancements expected in Android 15. While there are headphones that support LE Audio, there are currently no smartwatches on the market that do. However, upcoming releases like Google's Pixel Watch 3 series may support this feature. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in wearable technology.
