Samsung has been known to take a different approach by occasionally revisiting older devices and giving them a new lease on life. As we traverse through 2024, whispers suggest that the company might continue this trend, with rumors hinting at the revitalization of the Galaxy Watch 4 and Tab S6 Lite.

Samsung enthusiasts are already acquainted with the company's penchant for breathing fresh life into its product lineup. The Galaxy S20 FE's resurgence in 2022 served as a notable example, demonstrating Samsung's strategy of reintroducing older devices with minor refreshes to cater to evolving consumer demands.

Following this pattern, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, initially unveiled in 2020, might be in line for a revival, accompanied by a refreshed iteration of the Galaxy Watch 4, originally launched in 2021. While details remain scarce, speculation points towards potential enhancements aimed at enticing prospective buyers.

One aspect that could sway consumer interest is the software landscape. Recent instances showcased the inclusion of updated firmware, providing users with the latest software experience.

Similarly, the Tab S6 Lite's potential comeback could bring forth newer firmware, ensuring compatibility with contemporary applications and features.

However, the allure of refreshed devices often lies beyond software upgrades, with hardware improvements often garnering attention. While past refreshes have primarily focused on software enhancements, the possibility of hardware upgrades cannot be discounted. With Samsung's track record of integrating newer components into refreshed models, enthusiasts eagerly anticipate potential advancements in processing power and functionality.

Speculation regarding the inclusion of upgraded Exynos chips, as seen in recent Samsung releases, adds fuel to the anticipation. The prospect of the Galaxy Watch 4 (2024) adopting the Exynos W930 chip, akin to its successor, or the Tab S6 Lite (2024) embracing the Exynos 1380, promises enhanced performance and efficiency.
