A new leak claims that Samsung’s next wearable will be called the Galaxy Watch
New information about Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch recently leaked, challenging the currently accepted name. Several reports so far have referred to the upcoming high-end model as the Galaxy Watch Ultra. But Greek tech news site Technical maniacs claims it will actually be called the Galaxy Watch
The publication does not explain why Samsung is considering the name change, although online speculation suggests it could be a response to the Apple Watch Ultra series. It’s possible that the company wants a unique name for its device that will clearly differentiate it from its rivals.
However, if they were to do this, Samsung could also use Apple’s same ‘X’ moniker, as other rumors claim the manufacturer is working on an Apple Watch X wearable. This could force a name change, and while it may seem strange to focus so much on what unreleased hardware will be called, tech companies need their own name in order to establish an identity with users.
Sturdier design
Of course, there’s more to the Tech Maniacs leak than just the name. According to the report, the wearable will have a 578 mAh battery, larger than the 425 mAh battery of the Galaxy Watch6 Classic. With a power source like this, Samsung’s upcoming device could reportedly last up to 100 hours on a single charge.
According to SamMobilePart of that longevity is thanks to the Exynos W1000 chipset. There has been quite a bit of hype surrounding the hardware. A report from the Korean economic daily The newspaper claimed it is 20 percent more energy efficient than the previous generation.
In addition to the chip, it seems that Samsung also makes the wearable exceptionally strong. Tech Maniacs says the Watch
The company is reportedly holding its next Unpacked event on July 10 and we could then see the next Galaxy Watch unveiled alongside other Samsung products. However, Tech Maniacs makes another bold statement and says the event is actually being moved to June 24th.
They don’t really explain why Samsung is pushing the date forward, although they think it has something to do with the Olympics. The company may want to make its big announcements ahead of the Paris Games so as not to be overshadowed. As with any leak, you should take this information with a grain of salt.
