Just two days ago, news broke that Project J from Samsung would in fact be three separate devices; the Galaxy S4, a possible S4 Mini, and some type of smartwatch/S-Pebble-like device to sync with your new Galaxy phone. Apparently, screenshots of the OS that will be present on this smartwatch have leaked, but there are a few discrepancies that we will need to point out before we go believing it.

Firstly, the name. According to the accessories list which tipped the presence of three devices, the name for this watch device was to be Active Fortius, not Altius. For those following, Altius is the name used when referring to the Galaxy S4 and not anything else. So, why would we see Altius on these pictures and not Fortius?

Going further, some of the design aspects don’t scream Samsung, namely the third screenshot down below. Never has Samsung used a mirroring effect on their logo, which would lead us to believe they won’t be starting now. Another major clue that this could be a fake is that in the same screenshot, Altius is misspelled, “Altios.” I think right there would be kill shot in terms of this being a fake or not.

Thoughts?

Supposed Samsung “Altius” Smartwatch Screenshots Surface, We Remain Skeptical is a post from: Droid Life

According to previous reports, back when little was known about Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S4 device, it was first referred to as Project J. As time went on, it was branded with the name Altius and given codename GT-I9500. That was all gravy, but now, new reports suggest that Project J is more than just a single device. If the new info pans out, we could be looking at a suite of new devices, including the S4, an S4 mini, and even some type of smartwatch/Pebble-like device. 

A list of accessories for each device has been leaked by SamMobile, giving us a peak at what we can expect from Samsung and Project J.

Project J Altius:

• Clear Cover
• Flip Cover
• Protective Cover
• Pouch
• Extra Battery Kit
• Battery 2600 mah
• Wireless Charging Kit
• HDTV Adapter
• Headset

Project J Mini Serrano:

• Clear Cover
• Flip Cover
• Protective Cover

Project J Active Fortius:

• Arm Band
• Bike Mount
• Pouch

As we can see, if this info is to be trusted, the Galaxy S4 could come packed with a 2,600mAh battery, wireless charging, and all of their popular flip cover goodness. On top of it, this Active Fortius is what has everyone hyped up. We see there is an arm band, bike mount, and pouch accessory for it. Could this just be a second rendition of the Galaxy Pebble or could it be something a bit cooler, like a smartwatch type of device?

At this point, nothing is confirmed.
