Is the 2021-released Galaxy Watch 4 value your consideration (and hard-earned cash) in 2024? In all probability not, and that is not (solely) as a result of superior age of Samsung’s first-ever Put on OS-running gadget. The actual fact of the matter is that the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Professional are higher than their forerunner, and if you already know the place (and when) to look, you will get the newer timepieces at nearly unbeatable costs.
However what if Samsung have been to re-release the outdated Galaxy Watch 4 underneath an thrilling new title? Would you have an interest then? If the newest AndroidHeadlines report proves correct, you may must provide you with a solution quickly.
That is really not the primary time we have heard this concept bandied about, however what we anticipated a few months in the past to be confusingly labeled the Galaxy Watch 4 (2024) is now more likely to go official as Galaxy Watch FE. Sure, Samsung’s first-ever Fan Version smartwatch is reportedly within the pipeline, however as an alternative of bearing a powerful resemblance with the Galaxy Watch 6, its “design and performance” are rumored to be closely influenced by the Galaxy Watch 4 (or fairly the Galaxy Watch 4 Traditional).
Is that such a foul factor? Not essentially. In any case, we’re speaking a few beautiful round timepiece right here with a high-quality Tremendous AMOLED touchscreen in tow and particularly a helpful rotating bezel. Granted, the black area round that display screen is a bit… a lot by 2024 requirements, but when the Galaxy Watch FE is priced aggressively sufficient, we’re positive many hardcore Samsung followers on tight budgets shall be satisfied to show a blind eye and deal with the product’s plain strengths.
Identical to different Fan Version units, this factor will clearly dwell or die by how inexpensive it’s… and the way less expensive the Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 5 Professional will get within the coming months. In fact, there’s a (robust) chance that Samsung will discontinue the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Professional earlier than the Galaxy Watch FE sees daylight to keep away from cannibalization. Keep tuned for extra particulars as we get them.
