Description:
Unofficial renders and leaked specs have given us a clearer idea of what to expect from the Galaxy Watch Active 4.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Weve heard a bunch of things about the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 4 , but only now are we getting a look at the possible design of the wearable, and it looks a lot like the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 , but with some key changes.

Unofficial renders supplied to GizNext by @OnLeaks (a leaker with a great track record) show the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 4 as having a circular screen, but with flatter edges than the Galaxy Watch Active 2, and a
different shape to the buttons.

Those buttons also appear more prominent, so theyre likely to be easier to find and tap without looking, and unlike the Galaxy Watch Active 2 theres no gap between the strap and the body.

This leak also includes other details, adding that the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 4 will apparently have an aluminum body and come in 40mm and 44mm sizes. Thats the same as the Watch Active 2, but is also at odds with a previous leak, which suggested the largest size would be just 42mm .

Additionally, the wearable will apparently come in the black, silver, green and gold shades you can see above, though the source notes that these colors might not be represented accurately in the renders.

As for the specs, this leak agrees with earlier claims that the Samsung
Galaxy Watch Active 4 will have a new 5nm chipset , will run Googles overhauled Wear OS thats set to land later this year, and will have narrow bezels, with flat 2D glass on the screen.

Finally, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 4 will apparently cost under Rs 30,000 (around $400 / 290 / AU$530) and be launched on June 28. However wed take that last claim with a real pinch of salt, as while Samsung is holding
an event on that date, its thought to be focused on smartwatch software
rather than hardware, and weve elsewhere heard that the wearable might not land until August 3 .

Still, either way its probably not too far off now, and with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 likely landing alongside it, this could be an exciting time
for smartwatch fans. Google is building a premium Fitbit smartwatch running Wear OS
