The South Korean company confirmed to US news network CNBC that it plans to use the consumer technology conference to unveil the successor to the Gear S3.
DJ Koh the president of Samsung mobile division would not reveal any specific details about the upcoming smartwatch in the interview with CNBC.
However Koh did allude to health as a growing area for wearables.
Koh said, "if we can put in place properly a smartwatch that can monitor everything for your health and provide the information then market will grow"
Samsung has used the IFA tradeshow in Berlin to launch its Gear S devices for number of years.
Details are still pretty sparse about the new smartwatch. However, it seems pretty likely the new wearable will incorporate Samsung new smart assistant Bixby, which debuted in the Galaxy S8.
Samsung announced a slew of new features for Bixby during the Galaxy Note 8 launch earlier this week. Elsewhere, the new Gear S4 (or whatever the company decides to brand it) will likely ship with a faster processor and battery life.
Holding the announcement at IFA allows Samsung to get the word out ahead of the Apple Watch Series 3 launch which is tipped for mid September at the iPhone event.
