Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Active: To Rival Apple and Google?

However, according to Android Central, it is high time for Samsung to get back its Active devices back into the variants of the upcoming Galaxy Watch 5.
Samsung did not fully disclose why it removed the Active label on watches. Still, its primary purpose is to highlight the Galaxy Watch series alone for everyday needs and fitness uses. However, other companies benefit from this and may use it for their gain, focusing on the many fitness features available to the public.
