We Know Everything About The Galaxy Watch 7 And Watch Ultra

We've officially entered the month of July and as Android enthusiasts, that means that the month of the second Samsung Unpacked event for 2024 has finally come. The South Korean electronics giant is expected to show off its new foldables, earbuds, smart ring, and last but not least, its new smartwatches.

The Galaxy Watch FE has already shown its face, but 2024 still has two Samsung smartwatches left in store: the Galaxy Watch 7 and the newcomer that is the Galaxy Watch Ultra. July 10th is the day these watches will be officially unleashed upon us, but we've just gotten a full leak on them as a welcome-to-July gift.

The Galaxy Watch 7 Gets A New Processor And Double The Storage

The Galaxy Watch 7 is the vanilla model of the year and it's likely the one that is going to appeal the most to the average prospective smartwatch buyer. As expected, it will be available in a Bluetooth and an LTE variant, as well as in 40mm and 44mm sizes. However, we know a lot more than just that thanks to Dealabs.

The Galaxy Watch 7 won't be vastly different from the Watch 6, though the software aspect is likely to be different (at least until those models get the official update to One UI Watch 6). The major differences are the new Exynos W1000 chip, which should be a big improvement considering it is a 3nm chip; and 32GB of storage as opposed to 16GB.

The Watch 7 will be available in Green, with the 40mm version offering a Cream variant and the 44mm settling with an exclusive Silver model. The 40mm model is expected to start at €319 (~$345) and the 44mm model should start at €349 (~$375).

The Galaxy Watch Ultra Is A Completely Different Beast From Any Other Samsung Smartwatch

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is quite unlike anything that Samsung has released before. There was the Watch 5 Pro and then the Watch 6 Classic after that, and while those might be the closest comparisons, they're not quite the same. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is its own beast.

The first thing we know that will be vastly different is the design, as Samsung opts for a squircle case though it retains the circular screen we're all used to. It's going to have a 47mm case, it'll measure over 12mm thick, and is going to weigh almost twice as much as the 44mm Watch 7. It's bulky. However, with that size, you get a massive 590 mAh battery (matching the Watch 5 Pro for the biggest in a Samsung wearable), a titanium case, and 10 ATM water resistance.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra, unsurprisingly, is going to be very expensive. €699 (~$750) is the confirmed European pricing. It'll only come in an LTE model, but you'll at least get to choose from three colors: Titanium Gray, Titanium Silver, and Titanium White.
