Description:
We guessed that Samsung has a Galaxy Watch 4 reboot in the works, but now it seems it could arrive with a different name.

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

The rumors around Samsungs 2024 line of smartwatches are far from new, and weve been onto them since speculation of the Galaxy Watch 7 and a rebooted Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 arose earlier this year. While the latter rumor was initially tipped to be launched as the Galaxy Watch FE, a leaker has revealed that the rebooted watch wont be adopting this name after all.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), journalist and reliable leaker Max Jambor (@MaxJmb) claimed that Samsung could be working on the Galaxy Watch 4 (2024), replying to a user to affirm that it wont be called the Galaxy Watch FE.

Though the chances of this name making an appearance are now very slim,
Jambor clarified to Android Authority that the Galaxy Watch 4 (2024) could carry the features of an FE model - but these have not been named yet. Galaxy Watch 4 (2024) April 7, 2024 See more

Initial rumors of Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 (2024) and Galaxy Watch 7 were spotted when another reliable leaker Roland Quandt (@rquandt) took to X/ Twitter, hinting to the possibility of a revamped smartwatch as well as a
2024 version of the Tab S6 . Don't be surprised if you see theSamsung Galaxy Watch 4 (2024)andSamsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024)pop up soon, bc these

As it stands, it sounds like Samsung could take its 2021 Galaxy Watch 4 and repackage it as a more budget-friendly model in its range of smartwatches. This has become common practice for many tech companies the Apple Watch SE uses older parts, for example although this is a first for Samsungs line of smartwatches.

When the Galaxy Watch 4 was released in 2021, we praised it for its lightweight design, speedy performance, and new software. Overall, it was pleasantly received, and we awarded it four stars.

We were very impressed by how the watch took elements of its precedents with its virtual rotating bezel from the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 , and reverted to WearOS which had been left out of Samsung smartwatches for a while. It cemented itself as a popular smartwatch for users thats still being worn by many today, three years later.

Like the Apple Watch SE, a revamped Galaxy Watch 4 could present an opportunity for people who just want a smartwatch with all the basics but at
a reasonable price all with a potential design upgrade and latest WearOS and One UI 6 compatibility.

Were expecting the Galaxy Watch 4 (2024), whatever name it eventually arrives under, to make its way onto shelves sometime this year. Stay tuned.
