Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Watch4 alongside its next-gen foldables in July or August. The smartwatch will be accompanied by yet another wearable called Galaxy Watch Active4. These two products are in the news for months now. Since they are about to release, they have started receiving necessary certifications.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch4 has been certified by SGS Fimko. The certification reveals the battery capacity and charging speed of the smartwatch.

According to the listing spotted by 91Mobiles, the Galaxy Watch4 with model numbers SM-R865F and SM-R860 will be backed by a 247mAh battery with support for 5W charging. These two model numbers could belong to the 41mm variant since Galaxy Watch3 41mm features a 240mAh battery.

However, one of the reports from Korea tipped 42mm and 46mm sizes for the Watch4. But an earlier finding by Max Weinbach revealed 41mm and 45mm. In other words, the exact sizes of this smartwatch are still a mystery.

According to previous reports, both the Galaxy Watch4 and the Galaxy Watch Active4 will boot the new revamped Wear OS designed by Google in partnership with Samsung and Fitbit. The wearables will be available in Bluetooth-only and cellular variants.

Last but not least, they will lack support for non-invasive blood sugar (glucose) level monitoring.

Samsung is expected to release new smartwatches dubbed as Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch Active4 at the Galaxy Unpacked event for the Galaxy Z series in August. A few details about these wearables have been already revealed via the Galaxy Wearable application. Now, over a month later, some more information about these watches emerge.

According to an exclusive report by 머니투데이 (Money Today) (via @FrontTron), Samsung will be indeed ditching Tizen on its upcoming smartwatches. The new report reiterates previous reports that the forthcoming Galaxy Watch4 and the Galaxy Watch Active4 will run Wear OS.

This means Samsung will be using Google’s platform for its smartwatches after a 7-year break. The reason behind this is said to be the lack of mainstream apps on the Tizen platform. Even after these many years, KakaoTalk, a popular instant messaging app in South Korea still does not have an app for Galaxy Watches.

Further, this report states that the upcoming Samsung smartwatches will not support non-invasive blood sugar level monitoring though the same was tipped in January. Also, the report mentions different sizes than what Max Weinbach of Android Police suggested.

As per the Money Today report, the new Samsung Galaxy Watches will be available in the following sizes.

• Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Sizes

  • 42mm
  • 46mm

• Samsung Galaxy Watch Active4 Sizes

  • 40mm
  • 42mm

Last but not least, as per the Galaxy Wearable app, these wearables will be sold in both Bluetooth-only and cellular (LTE) variants.

A couple of days back, Max Weinbach of Android Police found references to Samsung’s next TWS called Galaxy Buds2 in the latest version of the Galaxy Wearable application. At the same time, he had even spotted a few details regarding the forthcoming Galaxy Watches, which he shared on Twitter (via SamMobile) on that day itself.
