Samsung is expected to hold its next Galaxy Unpacked event in August. A few weeks back, it was said that his launch conference will take place on August 3. Now, a month later, the event is reported to be delayed.

The new information about the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event comes from reliable leaker Evan Blass (@evleaks). According to him, the conference will take place on August 11. 

Additionally, he also shared 360° renders of all color variants of the upcoming Samsung products, namely Galaxy Z Fold3, Galaxy Z Flip3, Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy Watch4, Galaxy Watch Active4, and Galaxy Buds2.

Initially, all the above-mentioned products were planned to go official at the next Galaxy Unpacked event. But going by multiple reports, the Galaxy S21 FE will not be presented at this event due to the global semiconductor shortage. The successor to the popular Galaxy S20 FE is now expected to release in October.

That said, as per previous reports, the third-gen foldable smartphones from Samsung will bring huge improvements. The Galaxy Z Fold3, for instance, will not only have under-display cameras but will also support S Pen stylus. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip3 will come in a new dual-tone finish with a larger cover screen.

Further, the Galaxy Watch4 and the Galaxy Watch Active4 will be the first smartwatches to ship with the new Wear OS. Lastly, the Galaxy Buds2 will be cheaper than the Galaxy Buds Pro, however, it will still offer ANC (Active Noise Cancellation).

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch Active 4 soon, and when they arrive, they will be running the revamped Wear OS borne from the fusion of Wear OS and Samsung’s Tizen OS. Ahead of the launch, renders of the Active model have surfaced, giving us an early look.

The Galaxy Watch Active 4 has a refreshed design as seen in the renders courtesy of OnLeaks and GizNext. The frame is wider and flatter and it appears the straps, which now flush with the lugs, are wider too.

The watch retains the two-button design of its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch Active 2, but the back and home buttons are now the same size and shape. The source says the frame will be made of aluminum and the watch will be available in 40mm and 44mm versions. Of course, the difference in sizes also means that apart from different screen sizes, they will also have different battery capacities. Also, while it wasn’t stated, there should be an LTE version whose frame should be made from a different material, most likely stainless steel.

Samsung will launch the Galaxy Watch Active 4 in four color variants as seen above. Alongside black, there will also be green, silver, and gold. However, the shades may be different from what the renders portray.

The Galaxy Watch Active 4 will have a 5nm processor onboard powering it. We are not sure if the RAM and storage capacity will get a bump. The Galaxy Watch Active 2 launched with 1.5GB of RAM and 4GB of onboard storage.

Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy Watch 4 and the Galaxy Watch Active 4 later this month at Mobile World Congress 2021. The Korean giant will not be attending in person but its virtual event is scheduled for June 28.

Last week, Android Police’s Max Weinbach claimed that Samsung will be announcing the Galaxy Z Fold3, Galaxy Z Flip3, Galaxy Watch4, and Galaxy Watch Active4 on Aug. 3.  Devices bearing model numbers such as SM-R885 and SM-R880 have received certification from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). These appear to be the LTE and Wi-Fi variants of the upcoming Galaxy Watch4.

Rumors surrounding the Galaxy Watch4 have revealed that it will be available in 42mm (or 41mm) and 46mm (or 45mm) sizes. The company is also rumored to launch Galaxy Watch Active4 alongside it and it is expected to arrive in 40mm and 42mm sizes.

The Galaxy Watch4 and Watch Active4 are expected to run on a renewed version of the WearOS developed by Google in collaboration with Samsung and Fitbit. The OS is said to have an overlay of OneUI by Samsung. The Active model is rumored to arrive with a titanium alloy body, narrow bezels with 2D glass, and a 5nm chip. It is also rumored to arrive in a stainless-steel version. The Watch4 and Active4 models are unlikely to support non-invasive blood sugar level monitoring. The LTE variant of the Watch4 is also expected to arrive in India as it has bagged certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

Samsung is long rumored to launch its next-gen foldable smartphones and smartwatches in either late July or August. Now, as we are slowly approaching the stipulated timeline, the exact launch date and shipping dates for these products have been tipped by two different reliable sources.

According to Max Weinbach of Android Police, the next Samsung Unpacked event will take place on August 3. At this conference, the South Korean tech giant will be officially unveiling Galaxy Z Fold3, Galaxy Z Flip3, Galaxy Watch4, and Galaxy Watch Active4.

Further, as per Jon Prosser, the Galaxy Watch4 series will start shipping from August 11. Whereas, the third-generation Galaxy Z series foldables will begin shipping from August 27.

In other words, the new smartwatches will reach customers a week after their announcement. However, the latest foldables will take over 3 weeks.

As far as features are concerned, the Galaxy Watch4 series will run the new revamped Wear OS co-developed by Google, Samsung, and Fitbit. The wearables will be available in two sizes as well as Bluetooth-only and cellular variants.

On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold3 and the Galaxy Z Flip3 will arrive with new designs and improvements over their predecessors. The former is said to have support for the S Pen stylus and will feature an under-display camera (UDC). Lastly, the latter is expected to sport a dual-tone paint job and a larger cover display.

Earlier this week, Google announced a new version of Wear OS in collaboration with Samsung and Fitbit. The South Korean tech giant even confirmed that the next-gen Galaxy Watches will run the new operating system. However, we have been hearing about these wearables even before the Google I/O 2021. Now, more specs of one of these watches leak.

Popular tipster Ice Universe has revealed some features of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Active4 on Twitter. According to him, this wearable will be powered by a 5nm chipset and will sport a 2D glass instead of 2.5D.

Further, the leakster says that the smartwatch will feature narrow bezels and an ‘excellent frame structure’ (titanium alloy). Additionally, other popular leakers replied to this tweet with further more information.

As per Chun, the Galaxy Watch Acive4 will be backed by a larger battery. On the other hand, Roland Quandt tips two variants – aluminum alloy and stainless steel. Lastly, according to Yogesh, the new smartwatch will have the same design as the Galaxy Watch Active2 with narrow bezels due to improved display drivers.

According to previous reports, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active will be available in two sizes (40mm, 42mm). Last but not least, it is expected to arrive in Bluetooth as well as cellular variants and will lack support for non-invasive blood glucose (sugar) 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 few weeks later, another report said that these wearables could go official in Q2 2021 itself. Now, even more information about these watches emerges on the web.

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.

According to Max’s findings, the Galaxy Watch4 and the Galaxy Watch Active4 are codenamed Fresh and Wise respectively. Both of these wearables will be available in two sizes and in Bluetooth as well as cellular variants.

  • Sizes: 41mm, 45mm
  • Variants: Bluetooth, Cellular

• Samsung Galaxy Watch Active4 (Wise)

  • Variants: Bluetooth, Cellular

Lastly, he also found that Samsung is referring Wear OS compatibility layer as ‘Water’ and the chipsets powering these smartwatches as ‘Merlot’.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about these wearables except for the fact that they could arrive with blood sugar monitoring feature, as per a report from January.
