Both the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Samsung Milky way Lookout Active iv could brainstorm aircraft on August 11, according to a new written report. Samsung's adjacent set of smartwatches would be announced prior during an unconfirmed Unpacked keynote.

Front Page Tech's report also said the lifestyle Galaxy Sentry 4 will come in a 42mm and 46mm models, while the fettle-focused Galaxy Active Picket 4 will come in 40mm and 44mm models. This ways the flagship Milky way Sentry could come in larger configurations this year while the latest Agile version will come up in the aforementioned size options as its predecessor.

Last calendar month, journalist Nils Ahrensmeier revealed the possibility of larger Galaxy Watch four models. Ahrensmeier said that the Galaxy Watch Agile iv volition come in 40mm and 42mm options instead, though.

Until Samsung makes its new smartwatches official, there's no style to know which (if either) source has authentic intel on the Galaxy Picket Active four sizes. We will say it's irregular to offer two versions the same wearable just 2mm autonomously in size.

It's also possible we won't see all the alleged smartwatches this year. If the company follows its own precedent, it will launch one version — the Samsung Galaxy Lookout iv or Galaxy Sentry Active 4 — alongside some smartphones during an official press upshot.

Just Front Page Tech reported the Samsung Milky way Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip iii will release on August 27, a few weeks later than the proposed Galaxy Watch launch date. The company could stagger the announcements similar to how Apple separated its Apple Sentinel 6 launch from its annual iPhone-headlining keynote.

Every bit for bombardment and charging, device SM-R885'south battery capacity is rated at 240mAh and the battery offers wireless charging. This doesn't tell the states much well-nigh bombardment life, although these specs are the same as the Milky way Watch 3's. We would wait similar battery performance, if not for the forthcoming Wear Bone software merged with Tizen promising improved efficiency.
