Newly leaked renders are offering us notwithstanding some other look at the Milky way Watch Agile 2 ahead of its launch on August 5. There's been a abiding barrage of Galaxy Watch Active 2 leaks ever since we opened up the pandora's box with our exclusive reveal of Samsung'due south upcoming smartwatch in the flesh, and the latest circular of leaked renders from Android Headlines and leakster Evleaks show the watch from every angle and besides give u.s. a await at the blue color variant.

The kickoff Galaxy Scout Active was offered in a green shade in addition to silvery, black, and Rose Gold options, and the light-green is being replaced by a blue version for the Spotter Active two. That blue would be one of the color options was already revealed in an before report, but this is the get-go fourth dimension we're seeing what it looks similar. However, an important design element is missing in all these renders: a red ring effectually the power button, which was nowadays in the real-life pictures of the watch that we published in late June.

In fact, it has been missing in all of the renders that have leaked in the by few days, and that'due south probably because these are renders of the Wi-Fi-but variant. Apple uses a similar red ring on the 'Digital Crown' on its Apple tree Lookout Series four to denote the LTE variant, which might be what Samsung is going for as well. It'south also possible Samsung decided confronting using that ring on the Galaxy Watch Agile 2 in society to avoid comparisons with Apple's smartwatch. With only four days to become for the Sentinel Active ii's unveiling, we'll detect out what'due south what soon plenty.

Notation: This story incorrectly mentioned that the red ring on Apple Watch Series 4 is meant to denote the built-in electrodes for eye charge per unit monitoring. We've fixed and updated the article. Hat tip to Albert Ribas for bringing this to our attention.
