Galaxy Watch Active 2 in India outsold both Watch 4 models combined

India’s smartwatch market was in a great spot at the end of Q3, and Samsung didn’t do poorly either. While the smartwatch market topped new shipment records, Samsung did the same, growing 153% quarter-on-quarter and 40% year-on-year. Surprisingly, the company achieved this in no small part thanks to an older smartwatch model.

By the end of Q3, Counterpoint Research says that the Galaxy Watch Active 2 was recording higher shipments than the new Galaxy Watch 4 and the Watch 4 Classic combined. The older model contributed to more than half of Samsung’s total smartwatch shipments in India in Q3.

Time was on the Galaxy Watch Active 2’s side

The Galaxy Watch 4 series was very new by the time Q3 had ended. It was released in early September, giving the older Galaxy Watch Active 2 a lot more time on the market to reach those shipment figures. Nevertheless, it’s impressive to see the Galaxy Watch Active 2 record such high numbers relative to the Galaxy Watch 4 series just a couple of months before the latter became official.

The fact that Samsung was working on a new smartwatch wasn’t a secret at that point, so perhaps this performance speaks to the greatness of the Galaxy Watch Active 2, as well as the attractive discounts Samsung and its retail partners offered on the wearable during the summer months.

As for the company’s Q3 performance as a smartwatch brand compared to rivals, it sadly dropped from the top 5 list, despite recording healthy shipment figures. Samsung had a 9% market share in Q3 2020, but it now sits below 5%.

Samsung’s November 19 event doesn’t concern the Exynos 2200 after all

Samsung Exynos recently teased November 19 in an Instagram post as the day when “everything changes.” Speculations immediately rose as to what the day will represent, and everyone sort of expected the company to have new Exynos 2200-related announcements to make. But oddly enough, Samsung Exynos officially confirmed today that the November 19 event isn’t related to Exynos.

So, the Exynos 2200 SoC won’t be unveiled next week, but the event’s theme should still be related to semiconductors in general. Samsung Semiconductor’s Twitter account got very active over the past 24 hours and — through an eight-post Twitter thread — invited people to join in on a thought experiment concerning the contributions of semiconductors. Perhaps the company will have even more to share about its future semiconductor manufacturing processes or the expansion of its manufacturing facilities. Samsung recently confirmed that it will mass-produce 3nm-based semiconductors beginning with the first half of 2022.

Then again, Samsung Semiconductor’s recent teaser is taking a more general approach, while Samsung’s Instagram teasers from yesterday have a completely different tone and focus only on gaming. We’ll have to wait and see what November 19 has in store, assuming more information doesn’t come out before then.

Expectations surrounding the upcoming Exynos 2200 are high. Samsung hasn’t been in the best spotlight in recent years because of its latest Exynos SoC attempts, but the upcoming solution will be different on a more fundamental level, as it should employ AMD graphics. The Galaxy S22 series should be the first to use the Exynos 2200 SoC, though it won’t use this solution in every region. In some markets, the flagship lineup will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 898 SoC instead of the in-house chipset.

It could come equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor, 4GB/6GB RAM, 64GB/128GB internal storage, and a microSD card slot.

There might be a few differences between the Galaxy A13 and the Galaxy A13 5G. One of these smartphones could have an additional camera on the rear. Moreover, they might use different chipsets. Going by their expected launch time frames, both smartphones could come with Android 12-based One UI 4.0 out of the box. It could be powered by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging.
