Read the original post: Samsung’s Next Galaxy Watch is Close as Two Models Stop by FCC

Samsung already makes the best Android smartwatch you can buy today, and yet here they come with a new Galaxy Watch that will likely steal that crown. Two new Galaxy Watch variants stopped by the FCC today, revealing model numbers and some other details, like connectivity.

The new devices were revealed as models SM-R845 and SM-R855, though I’d imagine the WiFi-only versions could be SM-R840 and SM-R850. These R845 and R855 versions both have LTE, as well as WiFi and Bluetooth.

In case you were wondering why we believe these are Galaxy Watch devices, well, the model numbers align with previous releases (Watch Active 2 models were R820 and R830). Also, that imagine above was filed with the FCC and clearly says “Galaxy Watch” on the back. To find certification info, you also have to go into the “About watch” section of each watch. These are new Galaxy Watches, folks.

For specs, the R845 model’s backside reveals a stainless steel case size of 45mm, Gorilla Glass DX protection, 5ATM water resistance, MIL-STD-810G durability, GPS, and LTE. The R855 model didn’t get the same reveal, but my guess is that it is the smaller of the two. While you might think going from R845 up to R855 would mean bigger to smaller in size, Samsung doesn’t play that way. The bigger 44mm Watch Active 2 was R820 and the smaller 40mm model was R830.

Additionally, for timing purposes, know that the Watch Active 2 hit the FCC on July 26 of last year. Samsung then announced both watches 4 days later on July 30. It’s tough to know for sure, but we could be days away from some news.

If we find more details, we’ll update this post.

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-

Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
