First things first, Samsung announced that Samsung Wallet is coming to both Galaxy Watch 4 series and Galaxy Watch 5 series. Samsung Wallet combines Samsung Pay with Samsung Pass. It not only allows you to make payments through your saved cards but also holds key information such as IDs and tickets. The functionality works well on Samsung Galaxy phones, and the same can now be done on watches as well, presuming you are paired with a Samsung Galaxy phone.

Next, a new Thermo Check app is destined to arrive on the Galaxy Watch 5 series after it makes its debut on “upcoming Galaxy Watch devices.” The new Thermo Check app will allow users to measure the temperature of their surroundings, including meals and other things. This is done through the IR-based temperature sensor, so no physical contact is required.

With the announcement, Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy Watch 6 series will also support temperature measurement. The Galaxy Watch 5 series supports skin temperature measurement for menstrual cycle tracking, so it is nice to see that temperature measurement functionality is being expanded upon. The Galaxy Watch 4 does not support the Thermo Check app as it lacks the requisite hardware.

The Galaxy Watch 6 series is expected to debut on July 26 at Samsung Unpacked.
