Samsung Gear S4 Could Be Unveiled in August, Along With Galaxy Note 9

Jun. 15, 2018

A report from Bloomberg this monthsuggestedSamsung’sGalaxy Note 9may be unveiled on August 9 in New York. And today, South Korea’s ETNews is not only corroborating the date but also says the Gear S4 is also arriving in August. While the publication doesn’t explicitly say whether the two launches will happen at the same event, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to assume so.

ETNews curiously says the Gear S4 will be exclusive to China, although, it’s not immediately clear as to why that would be the case. It would not make much sense, unless there’s a altogether new variant planned for the rest of the world.

The latest report also doesn’t mention anything about the hardware specs of the Gear S4, but Samsung-related source ‘Ice Universe’ recentlyclaimedthe new Gear S smartwatch will come with a larger, 470mAh battery compared to the Gear S3, which had a 380mAh battery. We expect to hear more about the upcoming smartwatch in the weeks leading up to its release.
