On August 5th last year, Samsung revealed the Note 20 phone series, and it later hit stores on August 21st. That means it\u2019s likely we will see any new smartwatches by the end of next month.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 series rumoured design and specs\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic are both believed to run Wear OS 3 with Samsung\u2019s own One UI Watch interface on top, according to a recent leak from <a href=\"\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/galaxy-watch-4-features-ui-design-leaked-video\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\">SamMobile<\/a> \u2013 which published two promo videos of the software in action.<\/p>\n<p>While the clips were short, there was quite a lot that could be gleaned from the footage, including visual upgrades and at least some of the available features.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside a greater variety of customisable faces, both smartwatches will do much more than tell the time. Features appear to include fitness tracking, blood pressure monitoring, heart-rate tracking, sleep monitoring, body fat composition, oxygen saturation (SpO2) tracking, access to the Google Play Store and a compass.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the specs, SamMobile reported that both models have Super AMOLED displays, 1.5GB of RAM, 16GB storage and run on an Exynos W920 processor.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, the watches have an IP68 water resistance rating, GPS, Bluetooth 5.0 and Qi wireless charging capabilities. Unlike the Galaxy Watch 4, the Classic will be able to use a rotatable bezel for moving between apps and menus, tipsters said.<\/p>\n<p>While the Classic model will have a slightly chunkier circular body and a rotating bezel, it seems the Galaxy Watch 4 will have a lightweight, more sporty look.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">And the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic\u2026 <a href=\"\/\/t.co\/Hc4bC2Lhrj&quot;\">pic.twitter.com\/Hc4bC2Lhrj<\/a><\/p>\u2014 SamMobile (@SamMobiles) <a href=\"\/\/twitter.com\/SamMobiles\/status\/1419963600165228546?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">July 27, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><p>While leaks are always taken with a large amount of scepticism, the design renders that have surfaced online in recent weeks have been broadly consistent.<\/p>\n<p>On July 25th, the website <a href=\"\/\/www.91mobiles.com\/hub\/samsung-galaxy-watch-4-design-specifications-renders-exclusive\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\">91mobiles<\/a> published renders of the Galaxy Watch 4 based on details from a \u201creliable industry source\u201d that showed it from multiple angles. The outlet suggested it will come in two sizes, a 40mm model and 44mm model, and in several colours, including black, silver, dark green and rose gold.<\/p>\n<p>On July 10, tipster Evan Blass <a href=\"\/\/twitter.com\/evleaks\/status\/1413734479907151873&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\">released renders<\/a> of two Samsung watches in gif format that also showed them from almost every angle \u2013 and including in white and grey colours. It\u2019s likely we will have to wait until August to find out what\u2019s accurate.<\/p> <h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 series rumoured pricing\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Samsung won\u2019t reveal pricing until the August 11 Galaxy Unpacked event, but we can get a rough idea of what the new Galaxy Watch 4 may cost by comparing it to its predecessor, the <a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Samsung-Galaxy-Stainless-Bluetooth-Version\/dp\/B08C5MY7N6?tag=radtim0b-21&amp;ascsubtag=radiotimes-0&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;nofollow&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Galaxy Watch 3<\/a> \u2013 which launched last August at \u00a3399.<\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy Watch 3 is now available on <a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Samsung-Galaxy-Stainless-Bluetooth-Version\/dp\/B08C5MZNXC?th=1&amp;tag=radtim0b-21&amp;ascsubtag=radiotimes-0&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;nofollow&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a> for \u00a3299, however.<\/p>\n<p>However, a bit of a blunder by Amazon Canada may have given away much more than Samsung intended the world to know ahead of the official reveal. Earlier this month, the retailer listed both the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the listings \u2013 roughly converted \u2013 the 42mm Watch 4 Classic could start from around \u00a3245, with a 46mm model from \u00a3270, as noted by <a href=\"\/\/www.techradar.com\/uk\/news\/samsung-galaxy-watch-4-and-watch-4-classic-listed-early-on-amazon&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">TechRadar<\/a>. A 40mm Galaxy Watch 4 was listed at around \u00a3180, while the 44mm model was priced at around \u00a3200. It\u2019s not full-proof, but it\u2019s a good estimation of what the RRP may be.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to finding out much more on August 11th.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For the latest news, reviews and deals, check out the RadioTimes.com <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Technology<\/a> section.
