GALAXY WATCH will be succeeded on Monday when Samsung takes the wraps off its latest wearable. Ahead of its release however, it seems the device has been completely unmasked courtesy of a new leak.
Samsung has already announced it will debut its newest wearable, the Galaxy Watch Active 2, on August 5.
The hardware has been tipped to come in three models and boast a wide-range of health features.
In addition to a Bluetooth-only and LTE version, an Under Armour branded flavour of the product has also been tipped for a reveal.
In particular, it has been speculated the hardware could be capable of performing an electrocardiogram for owners, similar to that of the Apple Watch Series 4.
Wareable has also declared the product will come in 40 millimetre and 44 millimetre case sizes which, if true, means the hardware could be smaller than last year’s Galaxy Watch.
Alleged images of the hardware were first outed by SamMobile - the product was shown looking incredibly similar to the original Galaxy Watch Active but featured altered buttons on its side.
While the hardware was shown omitting Samsung’s signature rotating bezel, it has been rumoured the border around the Active 2’s display may be able to replicate similar functionality if the user moves their finger across it.
As mentioned above, claimed photos of the Watch Active 2 had already surfaced online - however the most detailed of which has now emerged courtesy of Android Headlines.
The outlet recently showcased the hardware in what appear to be the three colours it will debut in at launch.
Once again the device was shown looking incredibly similar to its predecessor - the Active 2 is expected to come with a noticeable bezel around its display.
The software showcased on the product was reminiscent of that on the regular Watch Active, suggesting the new wearable will once again run Samsung’s own Tizen operating system.
As was initially rumoured by Wareable, it seems a photo Under Armour version of the Watch Active 2 has also surfaced courtesy of renowned tipster Evan Blass.
Samsung’s wearable was showcased looking incredibly similar to the regular version but featured an Under Armour watch face and strap.
It is unclear if this variant will differ from the standard model in any other ways.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Watch Active 2 on Monday, August 5.
