Samsung's Unpacked event heralded the launch of its new Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Fold 3 foldable smartphones, but possibly just as highly-anticipated was the unveiling of the new Galaxy Watch 4 series of smartwatches running on the now unified Wear OS platform. Complete with Samsung's new 5nm Exynos W920 chipset that brings more power and increased battery life, the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic appear to be just what Google's stagnant Wear OS platform needs, at least on paper.
