Samsung teases wearable revolution: Rectangular Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra, Ring?

Apple Watch Series 9

Samsung is rumored to bring a rectangular Galaxy Watch, Watch 7 Pro or Ultra, and Galaxy Ring later this year. In a recent press release, the company shared a sneak peek at its wearable revolution, indicating new form factors and hardware upgrades.

According to Samsung’s press release, changes in its wearable strategy are likely. Galaxy Ring, which was unveiled earlier this year was mentioned in the release, whereas there were hints about some upgrades that were rumored in the recent past.

Rectangular form factor?

It was rumored that the company will bring back the rectangular design to its Galaxy Watch this year. With the Galaxy Watch 7, Samsung is also rumored to bring a third variant, probably the Pro or Ultra. Hence, a rectangular design with the additional variant might debut.

For its wearable segment, Samsung noted that it will “strive to meet the demand for upgrades through the launch of new premium models.” The additional variant coming this year will likely offer longer battery life, more advanced sensors, and probably a 3nm chipset.

The new 3nm-based Exynos wearable SoC might power the entire Watch 7 lineup. Samsung’s System LSI will focus on “preparing to ship products based on advanced technologies for new wearables”. The 3nm chip may have 50% more power efficiency than the previous generation.

Sensor-related advancement might mean non-invasive Blood Sugar monitoring. The company recently revealed that AI would unlock painless sugar monitoring. The industry expects that the Watch 7 (or at least the most premium variant) will debut this feature.

Samsung may announce the release of the Galaxy Ring at July Unpacked.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy

Samsung may not expand Exynos chipset to its foldable phones this year. Authentic input indicates that Samsung has decided to go all Snapdragon for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6. There were rumors of Exynos chip’s arrival on the Z Flip 6.

TheElec reports that Samsung partners are sure that the upcoming Z Flip 6 & Z Fold 6 will use Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy processor. Nevertheless, the company will continue to utilize its flagship Exynos chipset on its Galaxy S series smartphones over the years.

The reason behind sticking with Snapdragon is the previous strategy. The Korean tech giant only employed Snapdragon in its foldable segment so far. It’s a good decision as foldable phones are relatively more expensive than regular bar-like phones and must have top-notch specs.

This year’s Exynos has shown significant progress over its predecessors. There is no controversy created on the performance and efficiency of the Exynos 2400 used in the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus. Meanwhile, foldables should continue to feature Snapdragon SoCs.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy will power the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Fold 6, internationally. It’s the first Mobile Platform that implemented on-device AI capabilities. Performance and power efficiency are also up to the mark, gaining consumer satisfaction.

Samsung may be concerned about the decline in sales due to the utilization of Exynos in such premium handsets. Industry watchers look at it as a strategic judgment of the MX Business Division, considering factors such as the relationship with Qualcomm and cost savings.
