The rumors only crooked out to be half right, based on the latest leaked info about the upcoming Samsung smartwatch. It looks like it will really be rebranded as the Galaxy Watch but it will still be successively on Samsung’s own Tizen OS and not Google’s Wear OS as earlier rumored. We may also see it launched together with the upcoming Galaxy Note 9 which will be trendy this August 24 and it just might be the primary time that their smartwatch is launched together with a smartphone instead of at the Mobile World Congress.
So, as a result, we won’t be receiving a Gear S4 anymore as the smartwatch line will be rebranded to the much more rational and easier to understand Galaxy Watch. We’ll supposedly be receiving the official statement early August, alongside the Galaxy Note 9 at the Samsung Galaxy Unload 2018 event happening in New York. The smartphone will allegedly be available for pre-order by August 14 and the road release will be on August 24, so we can expect somewhat similar for the Galaxy Watch.
What’s stimulating with this latest leak is that different from the previous rumors that said the Galaxy Watch will be successively on Google’s Wear OS, in fact, it will still be using Tizen. This makes sense as Tizen 4.0 was just released a year ago so Samsung will perhaps go with their own OS rather than the still untested OS from Google, which is both a spouse and a competitor. But as to what new things it will bring to the Galaxy Timepiece is still unclear at this point. All we know is that it will probably have Bixby, which is really expected of most Samsung devices now anyhow.
As to why the Galaxy Watch will be proclaimed together with the Galaxy Note 9, it makes for better synergy between the various Samsung products. And they need to have a better approach in the midst of fierce rivalry not just from their erstwhile rival Apple but with all the other OEMs looking for global supremacy. Let’s see if this move is first of all, really true, and secondly, actual in driving up sales.
