It has been claimed that Samsung is preparing to add a new model to its existing smart watch product range. According to the new information shared, Samsung is working on a different smart watch that does not use the Wear OS operating system. This model, which is stated to be developed under the code name “Galaxy Aero”, is expected to be positioned between the Galaxy Fit series and Galaxy Watch FE in terms of pricing. Thus, it is stated that the company can offer a new option that will fill the gap between entry-level and full-featured smart watches.
According to the source of the claim, some references to Galaxy Aero were detected in the codes of the Galaxy Wearable application. In practice, the device is described as a watch with a screen. This information shows that the product in question will be in the full smart watch category rather than a simple smart bracelet. In addition, the device is expected to offer basic health sensors such as heart rate monitoring, physical activity measurement and similar. However, details about the technical specifications have not yet emerged.
Samsung can provide longer battery life with RTOS choice
One of the most important details that attracted attention in the report was the operating system choice. Allegedly, the new model will work with RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) based software instead of Wear OS used by Samsung in the Galaxy Watch series. RTOS can use system resources more efficiently thanks to its lighter structure. As a natural result of this approach, it is predicted that the device can offer a battery life of one week on a single charge, or even up to several weeks depending on the usage scenario.
Samsung had previously switched from the Tizen operating system to the Wear OS platform. Despite this, the company continues to use lighter operating systems in some of its wearable products such as Galaxy Fit. If the new model adopts a similar approach, it can be expected to appeal to users who prioritize long battery life rather than advanced application support. In addition, it seems possible that the price of the device will remain below the Galaxy Watch series, thanks to lower hardware requirements.
For now, there is no clear information about the design of the device. It is not yet known whether the watch will come with a circular, square or rectangular screen. In addition, it is stated that the name “Galaxy Aero” is only a code name used during the development process and that the product may be introduced with a different name before it is put on sale.
It is not clear when Samsung will announce its new smart watch. Despite this, it is stated that the company is expected to introduce more than one new product in September. If the schedule in question is maintained, there is a possibility that the new RTOS-based smart watch will become official in the same period. For now, all information is based on early stage claims and no confirmed statement has been made by Samsung. For this reason, details such as the device’s technical specifications, name and launch date are expected to become clear in the coming period.
