Samsung is seemingly launching a new version of the Galaxy S21 FE soon. A device with the model number SM-G990B2 got spotted last week, and it's said to feature a less powerful chipset than the Snapdragon 888/ Exynos 2100 that the current model packs.

Today at CES 2017, Samsung Electronics has announced their new collaboration with Under Armour. The purpose of this new partnership is to offer fitness experience, by combining Samsung wearable devices with Under Armour’s connected fitness expertise.

The Samsung Gear S2 was well received in markets that it was marketed, and due to that, Samsung has green lit an update to the Tizen wearable, the Samsung Gear S3, and we have now a picture of what the wearable should look like.

Samsung also won awards during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2016 with a "Best Connected Consumer Electronic Device" award for the Samsung Gear S2 and the "Best Smartphone 2015" award for their Samsung Galaxy S6 edge from GSMA at the Global Mobile Awards. The Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 edge weren't mentioned at this point, but these devices also won awards from various tech industry awards such as techradar and others. Here is what Samsung had to say about it:

“We are honored to be recognized for our industry-leading technology,” said DJ Koh, President of Mobile Communications at Samsung Electronics. “At Samsung we remain committed to providing mobile devices that are inspired by consumers and always underpinned by a focus on progress and innovation.” 

Today, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. have unveiled and showcased multiple new technologies that focuses on smarter living for their customers in at the Samsung South East Asia Forum 2016 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The new products that were presented by the company were – a new curvedSUHD TV with Quantum Dot Display, Samsung AddWash Washing Machine, a connectedSamsung Family Hub refrigerator, and a brand new Samsung Galaxy TabPro S that runs on Windows 10 OS along with two new Gear S2 classic colours in Rose Gold and Platinum.

“At Samsung, we have always placed our customers' needs at the heart of everything we do, and we have a stellar track record of launching thoughtful innovations that enhance our customers' quality of life.” said Yong Sung Jeon, President & CEO, Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia & Oceania. “This year is no exception. I am thrilled to be able to introduce groundbreaking products and services that will revolutionize smarter living and bring the IoT technology into customers' everyday lives.”

So according to WinFuture.de writer from Twitter, Samsung is planning to add two new colours - Platinum and Rose Gold for the Samsung Gear S2 Classic version. Whether if it's real or not, it actually seems like a good idea since Rose Gold is becoming a very popular colour.

In addition to that, a lot of companies seem to be jumping on the bandwagon of creating new colours or changeable straps. Like Samsung introduced a new metal version of its SmartWatch 3 Android Wear just last year at the CES, Sony Smartwatch 3 also allow users to change the straps with a price, and lastly, rumours has it that Huawei is planning to launch a new Huawei Watch for women.

The Samsung Gear S2 (both modern and classic version) were released nationwide just last month on 27 November and Samsung Malaysia Electronics has opened a roadshow today (10 December) in Sunway Pyramid to not only promote their latest wearable, but they also hope to inspire the fans and public to start a healthy lifestyle for the coming New Year in the next three weeks.

“We will welcome 2016 in just a matter of weeks and for most of us, a new year means a fresh start and a revival of our resolutions. As the leading innovator that offers the perfect gear to help our users get started and stay ahead, we are confident that the Gear S2 will be a great companion and a source of motivation for them. We want our fans to think of December as a fresh start, and then slide into January ahead of the game!” said Mr. Lee Jui Siang, Vice President of Mobile, IT and Digital Imaging of Samsung Malaysia Electronics during the roadshow.

The Samsung Gear S2 Classic is the more premium version of the Gear S2 smartwatch. While both the Gear S2 and Gear S2 Classic are being released today for RM1399 and RM1599 respectively, we managed to get some hands-on time with the Gear S2 Classic during the recent launch. Check out the more premium leather banded Samsung Gear S2 Classic in our hands-on video.

Samsung have been promoting their latest smartwatch - the Samsung Gear S2 for some time now but not quite like yesterday (26 November), when they held a fitness challenge movement for celebrities and media in Jatomi Fitness. The purpose of the event was to demonstrate the device’s capability and functionality in fitness tracking activities. 

“Wearable technology is one of the most exciting developments in the consumer electronics industry, not to mention a fast-growing fitness trend among consumers. With the Gear S2, we want to encourage people to gear up in making their health and fitness more achievable. This is an opportune moment to introduce a gear that will help wearers achieve their goals - both in and out of the gym!” said Mr. Lee Jui Siang, Vice President of Mobile, IT and Digital Imaging of Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

Reports are coming in about a new firmware update for the watch, already rolling out in its home market. With the Samsung Gear S2 just recently released, there is now some feature updates coming soon for the Gear S2 as according to a XDA forum member who goes by the name of supersoulfly (that’s a pretty “fly” nick); he has claimed and gave us what changes we can expect for the smartwatch to have.
