A rectangular Samsung Galaxy Watch like the Apple Watch is on the way, according to Sammobile

Apple Watches are rectangular and Samsung Galaxy Watches are round, although they haven’t always been that way. It has rained a lot since Samsung launched a smartwatch with rectangular screen, but the latest rumors tell us that he would think about it.

According to Sammobile, Samsung is considering launch a new smartwatch with a rectangular screenafter banking on the circular dial format since the Galaxy Gear S2 in 2015. Perhaps we’ll see a resurgence of the idea a decade later.

A Galaxy Watch like an Apple Watch

Times were very different when Samsung still offered smartwatches with rectangular screens. As usual, the first smart watches were rectangular and somewhat rough by today’s standards, although the Apple Watch in particular and many other recent smartwatches with rectangular screens have shown that the format can be elegant. In fact, many people prefer it to the round screen.

Samsung launched its Samsung Galaxy Gear in 2013, with ideas as crazy as the inclusion of a camera. The technology of the time required this type of smartwatch to have a rectangular screen with very pronounced frames

. Two years later, the Galaxy Gear S2 with a circular dial featured a much more stylized design, on which all subsequent generations are based.

Now, according to information from Sammobile, Samsung could revisit the idea of launch an alternative to the Apple Watch

with a format similar to the Apple Watch, that is to say with a rectangular screen. Unfortunately, at the moment, no images have been leaked of what exactly this might look like.

We also don’t know when. Maybe the new format is not arrive in time for the Galaxy Watch 7 or if it will go to the next generation. As a leak, for now we will have to take it with caution until we have something firmer.
