Apple Watch 4 killer to come with groundbreaking new feature

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 event may be one of the hottest events in recent history. There is no doubt that the Galaxy Note 10 will take centre stage but alongside it, there could be some great launches if recent rumours are anything to go by. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is expected to be announced as well as the Galaxy Watch Active2, a smartwatch that’s shaping up to be one of the hottest wearables of the year.

Previously we heard that the Galaxy Watch Active2 will come with ECG and fall detection capabilities and now the news seeping in suggests that it will come with touch bezels that will support navigation. If that’s not impressive, then it will also come with Bluetooth 5 and be available in two sizes, which was a pain point for the previous generation device.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 as earlier mentioned will available in two sizes which include a 40mm and 44mm version, similar to what Apple does with its Apple Watch Series 4 wearables. Reports suggest that the 40mm version will come with a 1.2-inch 360 x 360 Super AMOLED display covered with Gorilla Glass and come loaded with a 247mAh battery. It is said to weigh a mere 31g. The 44mm version will get a 1.4-inch 360 x 360 Super AMOLED display that’s protected by Gorilla Glass and feature a 340mAh battery. It will weigh 36g.

These smartwatches will come with a homegrown Samsung Exynos 9110 processor and feature 768MB of RAM. The higher-end LTE variant will come with 1.5GB of RAM. AS far as features go, it will now come with the groundbreaking interactive touch bezel that will respond to gestures for navigation. This feature will set it apart from anything else in the industry so far.

The report states, “It has also been revealed that the pair of smartwatches will now use Bluetooth 5.0. This could bring some marked improvements to the Galaxy Watch Active 2. Bluetooth 5.0 has a range up to four times the distance as Bluetooth 4.2 which was used in the first Galaxy Watch Active. It also makes it possible to pair two Bluetooth audio devices at once and uses less power than older Bluetooth standards.”

Lastly, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 will come in aluminium and stainless steel finishes in Black or Silver. There will also be a special Pink Gold edition that will come with an aluminium finish while a Gold variant will be available in stainless steel. The GPS/Bluetooth variant will be available in with finish; however, the LTE option will come in only stainless steel.
