Announced at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked 2023 event, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is back , and ready to vie for a spot among the best Android smartwatches on the market.

La Garmin Venu 2 Plus avec écran OLED non-photovoltaïque (Image credit: Garmin) The Garmin Venu range is seen by many people as the perfect balance between a smartwatch and a dedicated running or fitness device. The Venu watches are not Garmin’s most advanced, ultra-premium multi-sports tools, like the Garmin Enduro 2, but they’re outstanding value, and much more affordable for the average person.  They’ve got a bright AMOLED screen, a slim profile and all the usual communication functionalities of proper smartwatches from the likes of Apple and Samsung, but it’s also got Garmin’s excellent fitness features and GPS credentials.

Below, we’ve listed everything we know about the hopefully upcoming Ven...

The Galaxy S24 could have a straight edge design like the iPhone and Meizu 20 (above) (Image credit: Ice Universe / Twitter) The Samsung Galaxy S24 could be taking some cues from the iPhone, and adopting the straight-edged design we’ve seen on Apple’s flagships over the past few years. Or at least, that’s what Ice Universe is claiming over on Twitter . Ice Universe says that the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus will come with a brand new middle frame design. Apparently Samsung will be opting for a vertical frame design, similar to that in the iPhone 14 . That might not sound like a big deal, but it does come with some advantages. BreakingThe middle frame design of S24 and S24+ has changed, and it has become a vertical frame design similar to iPhone. The picture shows Meizu 20, which is probably like this. pic.twitter.com/MG4hwn7pMQ August 18, 2023 The middle frame is the metal band that runs around the outside of the phone, complete with things like buttons, ports, antennae...

The original Apple Watch was released in April 2015, and we are coming up on the 10th anniversary of Apple's first wearable device. With such a landmark anniversary on the horizon, rumors are coalescing around a notable 10-year anniversary update that we could see in 2024 or 2025. Apple in 2017 unveiled the "iPhone X" to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, so Apple could have similar plans for the Apple Watch. Design According to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman, Apple is planning a major redesign for the Apple Watch that will coincide with the 10th anniversary of the device.
