Samsung could be refreshing the Galaxy Watch 4 this year, and we don’t know why
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 was launched in 2021. Fast forward to 2024, it looks like Samsung is planning to revive the smartwatch. That’s according to a post on X by tipster Roland Quandt who believes a refreshed version of the Galaxy Watch 4 could debut later this year.
Samsung should launch the Galaxy Watch 7 this year, but the refreshed Watch 4 could debut before that. The rumors are claiming that Samsung could equip it with a faster Exynos chipset. We’re not sure why the company is refreshing such an “old” device, but perhaps it could act as a cheaper alternative to the Watch 7.
Don't be surprised if you see the

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024)
pop up soon, bc these things are def coming in hot like it's 2020/2021 again.

If that is the case, Samsung could be following in Apple’s footsteps. Despite the Apple Watch Series 9 being the latest model, Apple still carries the Apple Watch SE from 2020. This gives customers a more budget-friendly alternative, so maybe that’s what Samsung is aiming for here.
The Watch 4, at its current pricing, is already cheaper than the Watch 6 at almost half its price. If Samsung maintains it but upgrades it with a faster chipset, it could reignite interest. Take it with a grain of salt, but check back with us later this year for more updates.
