The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2
is in the process of being developed by the manufacturer. But with the original
generation timepiece only four months old, Sammy will most likely continue to
work on it for a while before introducing the sequel to the public. Today,
SamMobile posted alleged images of the watch
that it received from a source. While it has essentially the same design as the
original, there are some changes.
For example, on the right side of the watch you will
find that the power/home button is now round with a red circle around it, and the
back button is shaped like a rectangle. On the other side of the case are the
speaker grilles and the microphone, and the back of the device (where the heart
rate monitor resides) has a fresh new look. As expected, there is no rotating
bezel.
According to the source, the Galaxy Watch Active 2
will be available in two different variants, one using Wi-Fi only for
connectivity. The other model will connect to a 4G LTE network. The latter
carries a 340mAh battery while the power source for the Wi-Fi version weighs in
at 237mAh. The device is said to be equipped with 1.5GB of memory and 4GB of
storage. Version 1.5 of the One UI interface will be on the timepiece while
current models are running on version 1.0, so we could see some added
functionality on the Galaxy Watch Active 2. The case sizes will be 40mm and
44mm.
Once again, the Tizen operating system is expected
to drive the timepiece and the color options for the new wearable will be
silver, black and gold. As we get closer to the unveiling of the Galaxy Watch
Active 2, we're sure to find out some more information about the watch. For
now, you can check out the alleged images of the device in the slideshow.
