Along with the renders, the post also includes some leaked specs, including a 1.2-inch OLED display and a 30-hour battery life. The watch is rumored to feature the same Exynos W920 chip as the Galaxy Watch 4, in addition to 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. It’s also expected to ship with Samsung’s One UI Watch 5 system.
Samsung has yet to release a FE — or Fan Edition — version of its smartwatch. It has instead reserved the budget-friendly branding for its smartphones. But if Samsung really is working on a Galaxy Watch FE, it will be cheaper than the $299 Galaxy Watch 6. In a post on X, leaker @MysteryLupin claims the new device will cost €199, which could translate to a similar $199 price point in the US.
Samsung is reportedly planning to launch three new smartwatches during its next Unpacked event that’s rumored to take place in July. The company could take the wraps off the Galaxy Watch 7, the Galaxy Watch FE, and a squircle-shaped Galaxy Watch Ultra — making its wearable lineup look a little more like Apple’s.
