Interesting. First I’ve heard of this and there’s no Z wave conformance statement posted yet.

The FCC application says it was supposed to be processed under confidentiality, but it looks like that didn’t happen as it has leaked.

It’s definitely a different device than the one that is currently being sold at retail as it has more antennas, but only one USB port.

Vs the teardown of the current V2 hub:

allaboutcircuits.com Teardown Tuesday: Samsung’s SmartThings Smart Home Hub and IoT Water Leak Sensor In this teardown, we open up Samsung's SmartThings Hub and a Water Leak Sensor to see what we can find.

As far as waiting, who knows? Just getting an FCC certification could mean it’s still a year or more out from retail release. And it’s not clear what this will do yet.

(BTW, The presence of an antenna doesn’t mean that will actually be usable, so don’t jump to conclusions about thread or the second LAN radio yet.

The V2 hub has an internal Bluetooth radio, but two years after commercial release it has still never been enabled.)

So this is interesting, but I don’t see any way to evaluate it at the present time.
