Microsoft brings Android Wear apps to Android phones

If you want to know what it's like to use Android Wear apps on an Android phone, you can download the Torque Chinese version to try it out.

Torque Chinese version is a voice search product under Microsoft. In addition to supporting smart watches such as LG G Watch, it can also run on Android phones. However, unlike our common mobile phone applications, it runs on Android phones with a smart watch interface.

After installing the Chinese version of Torque, you only need to shake your phone and a floating window will pop up, and then you can directly tell it your requirements.

For example, after saying "set an alarm for 8 o'clock", "Beijing weather", "Microsoft stock price", Torque Chinese version will directly complete the alarm setting or give the corresponding information card. In addition, you can also use voice control to make calls, send text messages, check flights, and even open an application.

If Torque Chinese cannot give you a suitable answer to the sentence you said, it will lead you to Bing search, which is equivalent to using voice to search Bing. However, browsing the web in such a narrow interface is definitely not a good experience.

Since Torque Chinese is essentially a product for Android Wear watches, although it also provides an emulator on Android phones, you may still feel a little strange when using it, after all, Microsoft itself only defines it as a concept product. However, for those curious users, these will not prevent you from playing with this "smart watch application".
