It had a very bulky design with rotating bezels so it is likely that the new smartwatch may sport a slim design with bezels still there. It ran on Samsung’s own Tizen OS which is not much developed so Samsung may jump on Google’s Android Wear OS for better app support.

If it doesn’t do that we could see a better OS and an improved Bixby assistant which was of no use in Galaxy Watch and is far behind than Apple’s Siri and Google Assistant. Galaxy Watch 2 may also come with a bigger battery with a price tag of around $400. We could also expect it come in a 5G version too.

    • What sources? I have a Zenwatch 2 and I LOVE IT! Wanted to buy the Zenwatch 3 but can’t find them anywhere! Zenwatch 4 would be awesome if Asus is really coming out with it, but I haven’t seen or heard anything about it besides this article.

      Would love to see an info source for the Zenwatch 4.

  1. Huawei has already released 2 smartwatches and you seem to be describing the first one which was released 3-4 years ago. In fact a few of these entries appear to be describing watches that these companies already released. This article seems like it was written years ago with the help of Google translate, then just changed the year to 2019 from 2016 (or whatever). Terribly written. Just terrible. SMH.
