What will the new models bring?
Not much is known about the specifications of the upcoming news. However, we can count on a high-quality round AMOLED display, Bluetooth 5.x and water resistance 5 ATM, which is suitable for swimming. Sensors such as GPS, heart rate, ECG or blood oxygenation should be a matter of course. ECG and blood oxygenation measurements at Galaxy devices were finally allowed in the European Union, including Slovakia, a few weeks ago.
Uncertainty prevails around the operating system. Samsung has been using its own Tizen operating system on the Galaxy Watch for years. Recently, however, there were reports that it could return to the Wear OS system, which was last used by the 2014 Samsung Gear Live watch in the original version of Android Wear. However, it is expected to support the SmartThings Find function for searching for lost devices.
