Galaxy Watch Active 2 Gets Improved GPS Performance With Latest Update

Samsung is constantly improving the Galaxy Watch Active 2 with software updates. A few months ago, the smartwatch received the Tizen UI 5.5 update and some markets got access to the ECG functionality. Now, the South Korean tech giant has released a new update for the LTE variant of the Galaxy Watch Active 2, which brings improved performance and some new features.

The Galaxy Watch Active 2 LTE is now receiving a new software update in the US. The new update has a download size of 45.42MB and carries the firmware version R825USQU1BTJ6. The official changelog mentions improved GPS accuracy and connection strength, as well as voice guidance through a connected Bluetooth headset during exercise. Samsung has also added voice guidance for things like distance traveled and heart rate data when Auto Lap is on while cycling and running.

Samsung released some of these features on the Galaxy Watch Active 2 in South Korea last month. Since the watch’s release, it has received several new features via software updates, including fall detection, running scan, scrolling screenshots, smart response, history chats, support for new emojis and pictures, and VO2 max.
