Another week and a new batch of rumors around the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and the Watch Active 4.
Were really excited about what could be seismic change in Samsungs smartwatch line-up, and while rumors always been reported with caveats, its part of the fun of big tech launches and this could be the biggest in wearables for years.
Just the sheer volume of rumors around the release of the Galaxy Watch 4 make this a near certainty, and now another tipster has thrown their hat into the ring. Twitter tipster @FrontTron has spotted codenames associated with the Galaxy Watch 4 in Korean cellphone carriers database.
That includes:

  • Watch Active4(39mm, SM-R865N)
  • Watch Active4(43mm, SM-R875N)
  • Watch4(41mm, SM-R885N)
  • Watch4(45mm, SM-R895N)

You will notice that those sizes do not tally with rumors from last week, which we suggested were taken with a large pinch of salt. Those reports suggested that the Watch 4 would increase to 46mm and the Active 4 would launch in 40mm and 42mm sizes.
Galaxy Watch4 & Watch Active4 are now registered in Korean carrier’s database DB.

However, a simultaneous report from a Korean website called Money Today does repeat those claims.
Money Today also predicts there wont be a blood glucose monitor that has been widely rumored, which doesnt seem like a huge surprise. Samsung does seem to be leading the race in this area, but its unsurprising the tech wont land in time for a 2021 release.
And that neatly brings us onto release dates. MT reports the Galaxy Watch 4 is on course for a July or August launch. Previous rumors have pointed to a slightly earlier appearance for Samsungs new pair of smartwatches, with June touted. August would tally with previous Galaxy Watch launches and seems like a safe bet.
And finally, Money Today has also quoted sources that say that Samsung will move to Wear OS, due to a frustration with
After a month of quiet, were now getting a spate of similar rumors coming out around the launch of the Galaxy Watch 4 pair and momentum seems to be gathering.
