- The Samsung Wear OS Smartwatch is said to be the Galaxy Watch Active 4.
- It would include a new 5nm chip and a fresh design with thinner bezels.
- Does it really need new hardware to be successful?
Just a few hours after its announcement, rumors were circulating about the planned smartwatch from Samsung Wear OS. 9to5Google reported that well-known Leaker Ice Universe Expectations To have details on the new bracelets, including a significant increase in performance.
The Wear OS device will supposedly be the Galaxy Watch Active 4 (no, there never was an Active 3) and use a “new 5nm processor”, although the tipster didn’t specify which exact chip Samsung would use. It would have narrowed bezels, flat glass, and “excellent frame texture” that a titanium alloy could include.

WinFutureRoland Quandt too contributed a claim that Samsung would offer one of the aluminum and stainless steel variants for its Wear OS watch.
We’d handle the rumor with caution if there wasn’t any evidence, even though Ice Universe has a good track record. However, the question that arises is whether the Samsung Wear OS watch needs to use a faster processor than previous watches. Let us know in our poll below.
Poll is loadingThere’s a compelling argument in favor of a newer chip. While you wouldn’t call the Galaxy Watch 3 slow, it still uses relatively old computing power that doesn’t hold up well against competitors like the Apple Watch and may give a bad impression of Google’s platform. Not only would a new processor help Samsung outperform most Wear OS watches on the market, but it could also deliver long battery life, which has often been an issue for Google-powered wearables.
However, newer processors are not always beneficial. Updated technology could raise prices and separate Samsung from competition with a horde of affordable Wear OS devices. Existing hardware also gives the company the ability to optimize for familiar hardware. Samsung just needs to deliver performance that is “good enough” – it’s software that makes or destroys this product.
