Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 2024: Anticipated Features and Updates

Samsung will unveil an affordable smartwatch soon – initially known as the Galaxy Watch FE but later officially dubbed as Galaxy Watch 4 2024 according to recent rumor. This anticipated release essentially marks a rebrand of their original Wear OS smartwatch from 2021.

Samsung Rebrand Strategy

Samsung is known to reintroduce older products back onto the market, such as their Galaxy Tab S6 Lite series of devices released multiple times over recent months. If interested parties wish to compare all versions accurately, comprehensive comparison charts are readily available online.

Consistency In Re-Releases

Re-launching products typically maintains similar characteristics from its initial releases, with Galaxy Watch 4 2024 expected to follow this pattern by maintaining similarities to its predecessor model. So let’s explore its expected features before its official debut!

Galaxy Watch 4 2024 Anticipated Specifications

Design

It is expected that the Galaxy Watch 4 2024 will follow suit with its predecessor in regards to design. At present, however, we do not know whether two sizes (40mm and 44mm) and cell variants will be made available similarly as with its original.

As for its construction, wearable devices should feature an aluminum frame with Gorilla Glass DX+ protection to offer dust and water resistance and meet MIL-STD-810G requirements.

Last but not least, this watch will use 20mm straps.

Hardware

The Galaxy Watch 4 2024 should feature similar hardware as its predecessor: an circular Super AMOLED display with AOD support (Always On Display).

Wearable devices typically consist of two physical buttons for input. Furthermore, many sensors will be embedded within such as heart rate monitoring, SpO2, accelerometer, gyro, compass and barometer functionality.

Uncertain of its chipset is yet another uncertainty for this 2024 variant; while its original 2021 counterpart boasts an Exynos W920 SoC, which may or may not be present on it.

However, it’s highly likely it could use a chip similar to Exynyos W930 found inside Galaxy Watch 6 series released in 2023.

Software

Samsun’s re-released products tend to keep their hardware specs, yet come equipped with different software compared to when first released; typically featuring the latest firmware available upon launch.

Assuming its predecessor was released in 2021, the Galaxy Watch 4 2024 should run One UI 5.0 based on Wear OS 4.0 and as Samsung offers four years of software updates to all smartwatch models; software support should last until 2028 compared to 2025 for its original counterpart which first went on sale.

So if you were considering investing in Galaxy Watch 4 as an investment, perhaps waiting and opting for the 2024 edition may provide better longevity and return.

Xiaomi to Enter Open-Back Headphones Market on April 10th

Xiaomi will expand their product lineup at an April 10th launch event by unveiling their inaugural open-back headphones and the Redmi Turbo 3 and Pad Pro models.

Xiaomi Unveils New Earphones

Only limited details regarding Xiaomi’s newly unveiled earphones are currently available, however an image shared on Weibo by their promotion shows their design and colors; cream white and white options being featured respectively on both earbuds as well as their case with its sleek flat design featuring LED indicator on central frame.

Anticipated Features

Details regarding Xiaomi’s first open-back earphones remain undisclosed; however, expectations suggest a focus on extended battery life and comfortable wear-alike with other similar products available on the market.

Open-back earphones differ from conventional in-ear models by resting outside the ear canal for an open-ear listening experience. These models typically use bone conduction or air conduction technologies to deliver the sound; bone conduction involves sending vibrations directly through cheekbones into the inner ear without going through an eardrum, while air conduction relies on sound waves traveling along air currents to deliver audio content to inner ears directly from speakers.

Market Trends

Air conduction technology involves small speakers located close to your ears that direct soundwaves directly towards the ear canal, so Xiaomi may utilize air conduction in its future headphones.

Open-back earphone sales have experienced exponential growth since 2023, driven by rising consumer demands for comfortable audio solutions. According to IDC research, sales reached 6.52 million units last year–an astounding year-on-year jump of 130.2%! This shift may indicate consumer preferences shifting away from true wireless and neck-mounted models.

Launch of Smartwatch

Expected to debut alongside Huawei P70 later this month, the smartwatch featuring UWB technology will become the world’s inaugural device to do so. While details about its exact model remain speculative, speculation suggests that it could either be leaked Huawei Watch 4 Pro Space Exploration Edition or something altogether different; for example, Space Exploration Edition features dark hues complemented by red-textured bezel and dark titanium casing design elements.

Reports indicate that Huawei will introduce new car and PC products at their HarmonyOS Spring Communication Conference scheduled for April 11th. Regulatory filings point toward two electric sedan variants maintaining original pricing despite size/weight adjustments; additionally an update for MateBook X Pro 2024 models have recently received certification and should also make their debut during this conference.

Uncertainty surrounds the release of Huawei P70 flagship phone. Due to a lack of preorder activities in offline stores, signs point towards its cancellation at launch event or direct sale approach instead.
