Recently, there was a report about Samsung possibly launching a new smartwatch called the Galaxy Watch FE. The wearable is said to have similar features to the Galaxy Watch 4. But, it turns out that Samsung might actually be releasing a rebranded version of the 2021 Galaxy Watch 4, rather than a new FE model.

A reliable source, Max Jambor, clarified on X/Twitter that there won’t be an “FE” version, and the upcoming watch will actually be a re-release of the 2021 Galaxy Watch 4.

The news aligns with an earlier rumor from tipster Roland Quandt, who tipped in February that Samsung could release a new version of the Galaxy Watch 4 in 2024.

It isn’t new for Samsung to launch new iterations of its products. For instance, they recently launched the Tab S6 Lite (2024), which is the third version of the original Tab S6 Lite from 2020. These updated versions often have similar specs to the previous models.

If these reports are accurate, the upcoming Galaxy Watch will probably share many features with the 2021 Galaxy Watch 4. 

Just to recap, the original Galaxy Watch 4 is available in 40mm and 44mm sizes. It boasts Samsung’s Exynos W920 chipset, advanced health tracking capabilities like body composition measurement and sleep tracking, runs on Wear OS 3, and features a circular Super AMOLED display.

Whether the Galaxy Watch 4 (2024) could be a worthwhile addition to Samsung’s existing range of wearables depends heavily on its pricing and any subtle improvements Samsung might include.

As of now, there’s no official release date or pricing information available for the Galaxy Watch 4 (2024). Keep an eye out for potential announcements and updates from Samsung.
