Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic image reveals stunning retro design

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 could be called the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, according to a new report sharing specs and renderings of the rumored smartwatch.

Samsung has confirmed that the upcoming smartwatch will run Google's unified Wear OS software plus the company's One UI Watch platform, but we don't even know what the smartwatch's design will look like - we only know it will retain the beloved rotating bezel We have only heard that it will retain the

But now, Android Headlines has released several images of what is believed to be the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, showing the upcoming smartwatch from all angles and giving it an official name.

In addition to the images, Android Headlines revealed that the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic will come in three sizes: 42mm, 44mm, and 46mm. The previous Galaxy Watch was only available in 41mm and 45mm.

It will also be offered in either stainless steel or aluminum with simple white, black, or gray color options. These finishes look much simpler than the iconic pink-bronze option of Samsung's Galaxy Watch 3, perhaps that's why Samsung is calling it a "classic."

The Galaxy Watch 4 Classic has a durability rating of 5ATM and is also MIL-STD-810G certified. These specs are pretty standard for smartwatches these days, but still interesting information to know before the launch.

Android Headline reports that the classic version of the next-generation smartwatch will still come with Samsung's Galaxy Watch Active 4. We recently saw a rendering of an alleged fitness-oriented smartwatch that follows a similar design language.

Both the Classic and Active models feature a redesigned frame that allows for a seamless transition from the smartwatch casing to the silicone strap. The pair of crown buttons also appear to have a uniform rectangular shape.

The Active version appears to have no physical bezel but will likely be less expensive than the classic model, with the Galaxy Watch 3 starting at $399 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 at $249. Most rumors indicate that both models will be available in an LTE version, which will also be priced higher.

Assuming both smartwatches are slated to debut, we are looking at a loaded hardware piece at Samsung's upcoming Unpacked keynote. The company has not confirmed such an event, but it typically holds one sometime in August.
