Samsung Gear S4 Release Date Available with New Specs

According to ZDNet Korea, the highly anticipated Samsung Gear 4 is set to be unveiled on August 9. Thanks to recent reports, we already have some idea about the specifications of this new smartwatch developed by Samsung.

Gear S4 will be one of the stars of Samsung Unpacked 2018

The South Korean source stated that Samsung has decided to present Gear S4 to the world during the Unpacked 2018 event, which will take place in New York City on August 9. On that day, the new smartwatch will make its debut alongside Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Following the event, the company based in South Korea will start taking preorders on August 14, then 10 days later Samsung Gear S4 will become available in the markets.

What do we know about Gear S4’s specifications

When it comes to the expecting operating system of the upcoming smartwatch, we do have some contradictory reports. We have heard from many sources that Gear S4 will be based on Samsung’s Tizen OS, most likely its Tizen 5.0 version, which debuted in May. However, a respected tipster, Evan Blass, predicts that Google Wear OS will replace Tizen. It looks like we will have to wait until August 9 in order to find out which operating system will Gear S4 use.

It is expected that the capacity of battery will be increased from 380mAh to 470mAh. The device will also include LTE connectivity.

Samsung Gear S4’s main theme will be health and fitness, therefore we might see not only some fitness-related apps, but even a built-in blood pressure sensor. Additionally, the smartwatch’s design will be characterized by a thinner face and lighter form-factor. Users will be able to choose between two variants of Samsung Gear S4: Classic and sporty-looking Frontier.

Samsung Gear S4 Smartwatch: Improved Battery Life and OLED Display

Does anybody know how long has it been since Samsung has released something new? Gear S3 met the light in late 2016, while its smaller brother, Samsung Gear Sport, was launched last fall. Gear Fit 2 Pro had a slimmer display, which was also curved, just right for a fitness tracker.

On the 9th of August, in New York City, Samsung’s Unpacked 2018 will happen, and CNET will also make its appearance there.

Samsung Gear S4 battery life

Samsung Gear S4 will have a better battery life, be it because of an even more efficient processor, or a bigger battery. The watches from Samsung are actually better than others: the Gear S3, which was released in 2016 can last days after a charge. Let’s keep in mind that Gear S3 is actually a big watch. One of a smaller size, Gear Sport, for example, has features such as speakerphone calling. The watches from Samsung already have sleep tracking features, such as Fitbit and Garmin watchesdo, but let’s not ignore the importance of a good life battery.

About the display

Samsung’s smartwatches had a slimmer design, in comparison with the Gear S3’s mega-watch feel. Many reports out there already started to talk about the new design of the Samsung watches. There’s a possibility that the new watch will have a second display, that can come with some extra modes and features. In 2017, it was shown a second screen, which had curved edges and which could give up second readouts on the sides. This reminded us of the curved OLED edges from Samsung’s Galaxy and Note smartphones.

The ability of Samsung stays in the OLED display, even if previous smartwatches, just like Gear Fit have done some experiments with curved displays. So the question is: is there a possibility that the new smartwatch can actually have an OLED display?

Apple Watch 4 and Samsung Gear S4 – Best Improved Features

Apple and Samsung are preparing to launch their new smartwatches and they’ll come with several improved features

Samsung and Apple have always tried to revolutionise the tech market by offering their customers amazing devices with practical features. Nowadays, both companies are preparing to launch their latest smartwatches, Apple Watch 4 and Samsung Gear S4.

According to experts from the field, these next generation gadgets will be released before the end of this year. Until then, it could be a good idea to learn more about each of them, so let’s analyse what we know so far.

The new devices might come with better battery life and improved health tracking

When they first appeared, smartwatches didn’t have much success, but as time passed, Apple and Samsung managed to set high standards for these wearables. It looks like their new ”toys” will be important updates of the predecessors Apple Watch Series 3 and Samsung Gear S3. Furthermore, the Gear S4 will be thinner than the S3, but will have the same design with round face.

What’s new within the Apple Watch

The first details about the new smartwatch from Apple arrived this year from the producing company. They revealed the fact that the device will work on their watchOS 5 upgrade and this means that active people will count among the first customers. They will be able to use features like Walkie-Talkie, Workout Detection or Activity Competitions.

In terms of technical specs, the watch will have bigger display, thinner design and longer battery life. Apple is expected to focus on developing even more health apps, since their smartwatch is considered one of the best heart monitors in the world. The device could come this autumn.

We could see the Samsung Gear S4 for the first time in August this year

Although Samsung had enough success with the Gear S3, it has been almost two years and the watch didn’t receive any update. Also, SamMobile claims that a wireless charger for the Gear S4 has just been certified, so this could mean that an updated smartwatch from Samsung is on its way.

If it comes, the device could be available in two versions, Classic and Frontier, but the most striking difference is that Samsung will give up on the Tizen operating system for a Google software. In addition, they will introduce improved health and sleep tracking capabilities and other features to keep the user healthy and in good physical shape (for example, the capacity to measure blood pressure).

All these features will be available in various colour schemes, including Gold and will be supported by a larger battery. Its capacity could be increased to 470mAh and this means that one charge will last longer than before.
