Apart from smartphones and tablets, Samsung also launches new and premium smart wearables every year. As of now, the Galaxy Watch 3 is the latest and high-end smartwatch offering from the brand. Moving on, the company could soon introduce new Galaxy Watch models in the next Unpacked event.

Ahead of an official announcement, a piece of new information coming from South Korea, which reveals Samsung is all set to ditch its own Tizen OS on the upcoming Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch Active 4. However, the same thing was also reported last month that the next Galaxy Watch will run Google’s Wear OS instead of Tizen.

If the next Galaxy smartwatches will feature Google Wear OS, then it’s a back turn by Samsung as it ditched the Wear OS 7 years ago. Previously, it was reported that the lack of mainstream apps on the Tizen platform is the reason behind the suspension of Tizen OS from Galaxy Watches.

Aside from this, the report further suggests that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch Active 4 will not feature non-invasive blood sugar monitoring, which was rumored earlier this year. Besides, the former will be available in 42mm and 46mm sizes while the latter will be available in 40mm and 42mm sizes.

Previously, Max Weinbach found two codenames (Fresh and Wise) in the teardown of the Samsung Wearable app, which suggested the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch Active 4 will be the next smartwatches from the brand. The same source also found a new plug-in – “water”, which is expected to be the compatibility layer designed by Samsung for Wear OS.

Samsung Galaxy Ring 2

Launched in July 2024, the Samsung Galaxy Ring marked the company’s first step into the wearable ring market. The device gained attention for its health-focused features and innovative design. Now, a new report suggests that Samsung is already working on a successor, the Galaxy Ring 2.

According to a leaker on Naver, the Galaxy Ring 2 could be released sooner than the original Galaxy Ring. While the exact launch date is still unclear, several improvements have already been revealed.

The first Galaxy Ring offered health-tracking features like heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking. Now, it looks like Samsung plans to take things further with the new version.

The Galaxy Ring 2 is expected to have a longer battery life, which was a common user issue with the original model. Many users said they needed more time between charges.

In addition to better battery life, the new ring is likely to include more features, such as fitness tracking, notifications, and other smart functions. This would make the Galaxy Ring 2 much more versatile than just a health tracker.

Another improvement is the design. The new version is expected to be slimmer and more comfortable, which makes it easier to wear for long periods.

With these updates, the Galaxy Ring 2 could become a stronger competitor in the wearable market. The new version of Galaxy Ring is surely to be a more polished device that could even be an alternative to smartwatches. Stay Tuned for more updates.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 randomly vibrating for no reason, users report. It seems to be a software glitch which has been reporting since late July. Affected Galaxy Watch owners are quite frustrated as unexplained vibrations are much annoying.

Going by the threads posted in community forums, Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra users experiencing unnecessary vibration. Even without any notification, select Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 units have been vibrating weirdly.

Phantom Vibration:

AndroidPolice highlights a study held in 2018, which found roughly 60 percent of the surveyed participants experienced PVS (phantom vibration syndrome). Unlikely, the Watch 7 and Watch Ultra vibrations are caused by a software bug.

Users explain that their smartwatch vibrates once without any screen activity. After a short break, the device again vibrates three times and then stops itself. Samsung has yet to acknowledge the issue and users anticipating a fix as soon as possible.

“I have the same problem with my Watch 7, it is driving me crazy. I’m in contact with Samsung support since 2 weeks, no progress,” wrote user mtanner876 on a Samsung community post via 9to5Google.

Affected Galaxy Watch users have also tried factory resetting which didn’t work. The problem remains unresolved, suggesting a new software fix. We urge Samsung to look into the matter and provide a fix firmware to address the problem.

Temporary fixes that could work:

You can try disabling Health Platform, Google Maps’ “mirroring” option, and WhatsApp. Disable the apps one by one to check which try resolves the issue. I guess these DIY tricks would make things a lot better until Samsung rolls a new OTA.

Wear OS 5-based One UI 6 Watch:

Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra come packed with Wear OS 5-based One UI 6 Watch. The company hasn’t opened a public rollout for older models. However, Beta participants have started getting the Stable update in select markets.
