Samsung is expected to release a budget smartwatch very soon. This product was earlier referred to as Galaxy Watch FE.

But per the latest details, the wearable will likely go official as Galaxy Watch 4 2024. In other words, the company’s first modern Wear OS smartwatch from 2021 will be released again.

Re-launching older products is not a new strategy by Samsung. The firm just recently released its Galaxy Tab S6 Lite for the third time. You can learn about the differences between all three iterations here.

These re-released products do not differ much from the original. We expect the same for the Galaxy Watch 4 2024 as well. Let’s check out its anticipated features.

Galaxy Watch 4 2024 Expected Specs

Design

The upcoming Galaxy Watch 4 2024 is anticipated to arrive in the same design as the original. At present, it is not sure whether it will be available in two sizes (40mm and 44mm) and cellular variants as the original.

As for the build, the wearable should feature an aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass DX+ protection for display. It will be IP68-rated (dust and water resistance) and MIL-STD-810G compliant. 

Lastly, the watch will use 20mm straps.

Hardware

The Galaxy Watch 4 2024 is expected to retain the core hardware from the original. So it should sport a circular Super AMOLED display with AOD (Alway-on Display) support.

Further, the wearable will come with two physical buttons. It will feature multiple sensors, such as heart rate, SpO2, accelerometer, gyro, compass, and barometer.

Unfortunately, we are not sure about the chipset. The original 2021 model is powered by an Exynos W920 SoC, however, the forthcoming 2024 variant may or may not house this chip.

Anyways, there’s a high chance it may use the same chip as the only other latest Samsung wearable chip (i.e., Exynyos W930) is present inside the Galaxy Watch 6 series released in 2023.

Software

Samsunsg’s re-released products tend to retain hardware but the software has always been different. They usually ship with the latest firmware available at launch.

Therefore, the Galaxy Watch 4 2024 will likely boot One UI 5.0 based on Wear OS 4.0. Since the company promises four years of updates for its smartwatches, the re-release model’s software support should last until 2028 compared to 2025 for the original which was released in 2021.

Hence, if you were looking to invest in Galaxy Watch 4, you may want to wait a bit longer and get the 2024 edition for longevity.
