Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Active 4 Likely to Launch Soon in India

Samsung is all set to launch the next series of Samsung Galaxy Watch, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Active 4. Tech journalist Nils Ahrensmeier predicts that both the watches are arriving soon in India, and also disclosed the sizes that might be available in India. Seemingly, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 will arrive in 42mm and 46mm sizes, while the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 4 will be available in 40mm and 42mm sizes.

As the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 was one of the best-selling smartwatches in 2020, Samsung is keen to launch its successor, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. The rumored specifications and designs of the smartwatch are gathering interest among wearable lovers.

Samsung usually launches its smartwatch series in August along with the Note series. However, there is no news about the launch of the new Note 21 series. While the company may still launch the Watch 4 series alongside the next-generation foldable devices Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3.

Tipster Ice Universe thinks that Samsung may postpone the launch of the Watch 4 series to Q2 2021. As the Galaxy 21 series was launched much earlier this year, it is believed that Galaxy Watch 4 series will arrive as early as possible.

The leaks give clear information about the sizes, the Galaxy Watch 4 may feature in the sizes 42mm and 46mm with the model name SM-R880 and SM-R890 respectively. If the leak happens to be true, the Galaxy Watch 4 would be much bigger than last year’s 45mm model.

The Watch 4 Series can monitor SpO2 (blood oxygen level), blood pressure, and Trip Detection, which grants users an option to send a custom alert message to emergency contacts. It also features Bixby Voice assistance and gesture controls.
