Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 to drop the ‘Classic’ model
Introduced last year, Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic are two of the best options for Android users who want to buy a feature-rich and functional smartwatch. From features such as sleep tracking and bioactive sensors to offline app support like Spotify and Samsung Pay, there’s a lot more.
While their successors are reportedly coming later this year, it looks like the Korean company is ditching the ‘Classic’ model. But this does not mean that this year the company will launch only one Galaxy Watch, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro will replace the Galaxy Watch 5 Classic.

Further, the Galaxy Watch Classic line has always had a physically rotating bezel which has helped Samsung’s smartwatches stand out from the pack. While at this moment, it’s unclear whether the Pro variant will feature a rotatable bezel or not.
Besides, the report also claims that Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 will come in two sizes, whereas, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro could only feature a single size. The rumor correspondingly seems to point to the Pro model sporting a really huge battery life.
According to the South Korean regulatory listing, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro will come with a 572mAh battery. This is an overall increase of 60% battery capacity when compared to the current 44 and 46mm models of the Galaxy Watch 4/Classic.
On the other hand, SamMobile also claims that Galaxy Watch 5 will run a new version of One UI Watch which will be based on Wear OS 3. Additionally, we can expect that the device could come with further improvements and added new features.

Samsung’s new earbuds are coming next month. Ahead of the launch, Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro have been spotted on the BIS database. The listing indicates that the company is preparing to launch these products in the Indian market soon.
As spotted on BIS (via MySmartPrice), Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro carry model numbers SM-R530 and SM-R630, respectively. Before the earbuds, the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, Watch 7, Watch Ultra, and Watch FE appeared on the BIS certification site.
Earlier, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro’s promotional image was leaked. The asset revealed a major design change, making it look identical to Apple’s AirPods. The next-gen Galaxy Buds will likely have an improved calling experience, longer battery life, and enhanced ANC.
As you can see in the image, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro features a stem similar to AirPods. The stem will likely have Blade Lights, which could indicate various things. The Galaxy Buds 3’s design still remains a mystery, which we expect to be solved this week.
Previous reports revealed that the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro will be equipped with a dual-driver design, Bluetooth v5.4, 24-bit 96KHz audio transmission, Adaptive ANC, Adaptive EQ, Ambient Sound, up to 30 hours battery life, and IP57 rating.

At the July Unpacked, the South Korean tech giant may launch three more Galaxy smartwatches. This year, the wearable segment may add Watch 7, Watch 7 Classic, and Watch Ultra. Overall, Samsung is preparing to ship four smartwatch models to the Galaxy Watch line in 2024.
Apart from Galaxy Watch, Samsung will introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Buds 3, and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. As many new devices are already in the queue to launch at next month’s Unpacked, the Watch FE may get an early launch.
However, it’s not a confirmed date as it arrived from a tipster’s X post. As soon as Samsung officially confirms the Watch FE release date, we will let you know. Are you wondering about buying the upcoming Fan Edition smartwatch? Feel free to share with us through social media.
Samsung Galaxy Watch FE design and specs have been leaked. The renders indicate the reborn of the Galaxy Watch 4, Samsung’s first Wear OS smartwatch. Rather than a 2024 refresh, the company would market it as the Galaxy Watch FE.
Design-wise, the Galaxy Watch FE looks similar to the Galaxy Watch 4. It looks like the smartwatch will lack the physical rotating bezel seen in the Classic variant. However, the firmware is being bumped to the latest Stable One UI Watch version available out there.
Samsung Galaxy Watch FE Design & Specs
The Galaxy Watch FE may sport a 1.2-inch sAMOLED display with 396×396 pixel resolution. Under the hood, the wearable would pack an Exynos W920 chip with 1.18GHz speed. It could be paired with 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
One UI 5 Watch is expected to come pre-installed. As the Galaxy Watch 7 will ship with Wear OS 5-based One UI 6 Watch, the Watch FE will get it through a software update. Moreover, it will pack a 247mAh battery, offering up to 30 hours of battery life with support for wireless charging.
As far as the build quality is concerned, the Galaxy Watch FE is expected to have an Aluminum body. It will also have water certification up to 5 ATM, IP68 / MIL-STD-810H, claiming water resistance up to 50 meters. WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and GPS are other specs.
