Recently, Samsung has officially unveiled the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 series, including 2 models: Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic, along with various screen size options. This will be Samsung's strategic product line in its ambition to dominate the premium smartwatch segment with numerous valuable improvements.

Let's quickly explore the top 5 worthwhile upgrades on the newly launched Galaxy Watch 4 compared to its predecessor to help you make a decision on buying it!

Display, Design

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 features a redesigned frame, drawing inspiration from the Watch 3. However, the gap between the strap and the watch face on the Watch 4 duo is narrowed, creating a slightly more modern feel. Additionally, the physical buttons are rounded to match the watch face.

The Galaxy Watch 4 standard comes in both 40mm and 44mm variants. Samsung has equipped both standard Watch 4 models with silicone straps, smart rotating bezels, and stainless steel frames.

All Watch 4 versions feature a round Super AMOLED display and a metal casing. The 40mm Watch 4 boasts a 1.19-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 396 x 396 pixels, while the 44mm Watch 4 is equipped with a 1.36-inch screen with a resolution of 450 x 450 pixels.

The highlight on the Galaxy Watch 4's watch face lies in its ability to adjust display colors to match the wearer's outfit, thanks to color extraction technology from any image. Owners of the Galaxy Watch 4 can easily customize their watch faces to suit their personal style and stand out.

New Processor Chip, Larger RAM ROM for Smooth Operation

In terms of performance, both models are equipped with the latest Exynos W920 processor, developed by Samsung specifically for smartwatches on a 5nm process. The new CPU significantly outperforms its predecessor, with processing speeds increased by 1.25 times. Additionally, RAM has been boosted to 1.5GB, while internal storage capacity is a generous 16GB, allowing for seamless multitasking and music storage.

Furthermore, GPU performance has been improved by over 10 times, enabling smooth transition effects on the screen like water. These are noteworthy factors for those considering upgrading to the Galaxy Watch 4 in the near future.

Utilizing the New One UI Watch Operating System

The biggest difference in the Galaxy Watch 4 generation is that this Smartwatch comes with Google's Wear OS and the exclusive One UI Watch interface.

The new operating system interface provides a more cohesive experience with the Galaxy ecosystem, including smartphones. When users install an app compatible with the Galaxy Watch 4 on their smartphone, the app will automatically be downloaded to the Galaxy Watch 4. Additionally, any changes to the app settings will immediately appear on linked devices.

With OneUI Watch 3, users can access some exclusive Google apps such as Google Maps, as well as Galaxy apps like SmartThings and Bixby. Furthermore, users can also download other apps from Google Play.

Multiple Exercise Modes, New Health Care Features

In addition to the new user interface, the Watch 4 will feature Samsung's new BioActive Sensor system. This is a cluster of sensors including optical heart rate, electrocardiogram, bioelectrical impedance analysis, along with accelerometer, barometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, and light sensor.

For health and fitness features, this year's Galaxy Watch 4 also impresses with new health sensors combining heart rate monitoring (PPG), electrocardiogram (ECG), and BIA analysis.

With BIA analysis, the Watch 4 series can now analyze body fat percentage, BMI, muscle mass, bone mass, body water percentage, and much more.

These improvements will make the Galaxy Watch 4 significantly superior to its predecessor, as it's not just a health coach anymore but also a 24/7 health caretaker, anytime, anywhere.

Battery

Battery life on Samsung Smartwatches has been fairly similar across generations. The Galaxy Watch 4 is announced to provide approximately 1.5 days of usage. However, due to upgrades in chipset and new software, as well as higher display resolution on the Galaxy Watch 4, there might be differences in usage time compared to the Galaxy Watch 3.

With a 247mAh battery capacity, the Watch 4 can offer up to 40 hours of usage on a single charge, while also being able to be used for up to 10 hours with just 30 minutes of fast charging.

Conclusion

It can be said that the Galaxy Watch 4 has seen quite a few improvements and upgrades. Especially in terms of performance, operating system, and healthcare system. If you're someone eager to experience new technologies, appreciate modern design along with convenient health upgrades, and have a suitable budget, the Galaxy Watch 4 is indeed an intriguing product that users should not overlook.
