The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, one of the best Android smartwatches, may have only just launched in November 2020, but the latest rumors out of South Korea suggest the company may already be developing its replacement with some big changes and upgrades in the works meant to topple Apple from its smartwatch throne.
There s no confirmation yet if Samsung s 2021 smartwatch will be the Galaxy Watch 4, Galaxy Watch Active 3, or a new name entirely. What we do know is that this new watch will reportedly abandon Tizen for Wear OS, which would have a big impact on app support and Android phone connectivity. And like the upcoming Apple Watch Series 7, this new Samsung watch could sport a blood glucose monitor.
