The Galaxy Buds 2, which comes with enhanced ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), is likely to start under Rs 15,000. Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic are the first smartwatches to feature the new Wear OS which is built jointly with Google. The biggest USP of the device is that it allows users to monitor their blood pressure on the go, at work or at home, IANS reported.

Galaxy Watch 4 is equipped with Samsung's ground-breaking BioActive Sensor. This new 3-in-1 sensor uses a single chip to precisely run three powerful health sensors -- Optical Heart Rate, Electrical Heart and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis - so users can monitor their blood pressure, detect an Fib irregular heartbeat, measure their blood oxygen level, and, for the first time, calculate their body composition.

The all-new 'Body Composition' measurement tool gives users a deeper understanding of their general health and fitness, with key measurements like skeletal muscle, basal metabolic rate, body water and body fat percentage. Some of the new features like BP monitoring will be available in select markets to begin with.

Galaxy Watch 4 series boasts the first 5nm processor in a Galaxy Watch -- with 20 percent faster CPU and 50 percent more RAM, and a GPU 10 times faster than the previous generation, said the company.

"We also upped the resolution on the display, up to 450 x 450 pixels, so visuals are crisper and more distinctive. And with an impressive 16GB of memory, you'll have enough storage to download and store," Samsung informed. The user can have up to 40 hours of battery life, and 30 minutes of charging can provide up to 10 hours of battery.
