What we like about Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 LTE 44mm

  • Bright and sharp AMOLED display with excellent resolution
  • Smooth and responsive performance powered by the Exynos W920 processor
  • Comprehensive health and fitness tracking, including body composition and snore detection
  • User-friendly Wear OS interface with improved third-party app support via Google Play
  • Sleek, lightweight, and comfortable design suitable for daily wear
  • Strong durability with IP68, 5ATM, and MIL-STD-810G ratings

What we don't like about Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 LTE 44mm

  • Short battery life typically requiring daily charging (approx. 24–40 hours)
  • Certain advanced features like ECG and blood pressure are restricted to Samsung phone users
  • No compatibility with iOS (iPhone) devices
  • LTE model reported to experience overheating issues during long calls or streaming
  • Inconsistent accuracy in step counting and sleep tracking reported by some users
  • Initial lack of Google Assistant at launch, relying on Bixby as the default

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 LTE 44mm is a high-performance smartwatch featuring a 1.4-inch Super AMOLED display (450 x 450 resolution) protected by Gorilla Glass DX+, an Exynos W920 5nm dual-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage. Its standout characteristics include LTE connectivity for phone-free use, 5ATM/IP68 water resistance with MIL-STD-810G durability, and the Samsung BioActive Sensor, which enables advanced health tracking like body composition (BIA), ECG, heart rate, and sleep monitoring via Wear OS. Main pros include its vibrant, sharp display, comprehensive fitness and health analytics, and access to a wide range of third-party apps through the Google Play Store. However, significant cons include a battery life that typically requires daily charging (around 24–40 hours), a relatively slow charging speed taking nearly two hours for a full cycle, and the fact that several key health features are restricted to users with Samsung Galaxy smartphones.
