All being well, theSamsung Galaxy Watch 7should be with us at some point during July – and if there were any doubts thatSamsung’s next flagship wearable is indeed coming soon, a new leak may have dismissed them for good.
As spotted bySamMobile, a Samsung wearable with the product code SM-L305U has just appeared on the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) database, as all Bluetooth-capable gadgets must do before they’re released to the public.
That code is thought to refer to the US version of the 40mm Galaxy Watch 7 with LTE. This doesn’t tell us very much about the watch, besides Bluetooth 5.3 LE support (as theSamsung Galaxy Watch 6had), it does indicate a launch is imminent.
Rumors have suggested Samsung will holdanother Unpacked eventin July 2024, ready to show off theGalaxy Z Fold 6, theGalaxy Z Flip 6, and the brand newSamsung Galaxy Ring, as well as the Galaxy Watch 7 series.
The rumors so far
We certainly haven’t been short of Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 rumors to date. The thinking is thatwe might get three modelsthis year, for the first time: the Galaxy Watch 7, the Galaxy Watch 7 Classic, and possiblya cheaper model as well.
A significant chipset upgrade has been rumored for this year too, as well asa squarer design– a bit like theApple Watch, then. There’s also been talk that sleep apnea detectionwill be addedto the Galaxy Watch 7.
Other leaks point toimprovements in battery life– always welcome when it comes to wearables of course – and so it looks like there are going to be plenty of reasons to choose these smartwatches over, say, Samsung’s new smart ring.
