Upcoming Smartwatch Revealed Ahead of Official Launch
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 7 is set for an official release on July 10, but thanks to an apparent leak on Amazon Canada, we now have a sneak peek at some of its specs and pricing.
The Leak: What We Know So Far
The listing, discovered by PassionateGeekz, is still live at the time of writing. Although the page primarily features images of a Chromebook and includes details clearly unrelated to a smartwatch—such as 128GB of storage and 8GB of RAM—a significant portion of the listing, including the title, is dedicated to the upcoming Galaxy Watch 7.
Key Features and Specifications
According to the Amazon Canada listing, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 will be available in a 40-millimetre size and a “Cream” color option. The watch is powered by an unnamed three-nanometre chip, promising enhanced performance and efficiency.
Advanced Health Monitoring
The Galaxy Watch 7 is equipped with a BioActiveSensor 2, designed to provide more accurate heart rate measurements during exercise and sleep. This sensor upgrade is expected to enhance the overall health monitoring capabilities of the watch.
AI-Powered Features
A notable addition is the suite of AI-related features. These include a personalized Daily AI companion offering “AI Powered Sleep,” “AI Powered Exercise,” and “AI Powered Communication.” While the details are vague, these features hint at a more intelligent and interactive user experience. The Galaxy AI “smart reply” function is also mentioned, designed to help users find the right words and tone when replying to messages directly from the watch.
Battery Life and Modes
The listing boasts an impressive 100-hour battery life in Power Saving Mode and introduces a Stamina Mode for extended workout sessions, ensuring the watch keeps up with your active lifestyle.
Pricing and Release Date
The listing indicates a release date of July 10, 2024, which aligns with Samsung’s next “Unpacked” event. The price is set at 358.55 CAD, approximately $262.62 USD. For comparison, the Galaxy Watch 6 launched with a starting price of $299.99 and offered 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM, powered by a five-nanometre Exynos chip.
Context and Additional Leaks
This isn’t the first time Samsung has accidentally revealed details about its upcoming products. Information about the Galaxy Watch FE, which is also expected to launch on July 10, was leaked recently, adding to the anticipation.
Conclusion
While not all details from the Amazon listing perfectly align, the leak provides an exciting glimpse into what Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 7 might offer. With advanced health monitoring, AI-powered features, and enhanced battery life, the Galaxy Watch 7 is shaping up to be a significant upgrade in the wearable tech market.
