New Samsung smartwatch is in the works, but we don't know if it's the Galaxy Watch 2

A new leak has suggested Samsung is developing a new smartwatch, but we don't currently have a clear idea of what the product will be called when it's ready to be put on your wrist.
According to GalaxyClub - a source that has been right about Samsung leaks in the past - the company has a product in development under the model number SM-R840. 
The original Samsung Galaxy Watch was referred to as the SM-R800 ahead of launch, so this might be a new device in that series of top-end smartwatches. Then again, last year we saw the SM-R820, SM-R830, SM-R825 and SM-R835 launch, but these were products in the Galaxy Watch Active 2 series when they reached shops.
That makes it a little unclear what this new device will be called when it's officially unveiled - it could be the Galaxy Watch 2, the Galaxy Watch Active 3, or something else altogether.
The model number also appears on its own in this leak, when in the past Samsung has often introduced multiple variants of its smartwatches at the same time, with different sizes and LTE options.
It's possible that's still the case for Samsung's next smartwatch though, and this leak is just one part of the family.
The only spec included in this leak is that it will apparently have a 330mAh battery. That's a middling battery size for a smartwatch, and it's similar to the 340mAh cell that was inside the Galaxy Watch Active 2.
There's no guarantee we'll hear from Samsung soon about a new smartwatch considering it launched the Galaxy Watch Active 2 back in September, but a leaked model number may be a hint that a new product is nearing release.
Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy S11 series on February 11 at an event in San Francisco, so it may be we hear about a new wearable alongside those new phones. If not, Samsung may wait until Mobile World Congress in February to unveil a new device, or it may come later in the year instead.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
