If all goes well, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 should be with us sometime in July – and if there was any doubt that Samsung’s next wearable flagship would indeed arrive soon, a new leak might have put them to rest for good.
As noted by SamMobilea Samsung wearable with the product code SM-L305U has just appeared in the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) database, as all Bluetooth-enabled gadgets must do before being released to the public.
That code is believed to refer to the US version of the 40mm Galaxy Watch 7 with LTE. This doesn’t tell us much about the watch, besides Bluetooth 5.3 LE support (like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 had), it does indicate that a launch is imminent.
Rumor has it that Samsung will hold another Unpacked event in July 2024, ready to show off the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the brand new Samsung Galaxy Ring, as well as the Galaxy Watch 7 series.
The rumors so far
We’ve certainly had no shortage of rumors about the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 so far. The thought is that for the first time we could get three models this year: the Galaxy Watch 7, the Galaxy Watch 7 Classic and possibly a cheaper model as well.
There are also rumors of a significant chipset upgrade for this year, as well as a squarer design – a bit like the Apple Watch. There is also talk that sleep apnea detection will be added to the Galaxy Watch 7.
Other leaks point to improvements in battery life – always welcome when it comes to wearables, of course – so it looks like there will be plenty of reasons to choose these smartwatches over, say, Samsung’s new smart ring.
