The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 has been the subject of speculation lately. The new Galaxy Watch 7 series is now tipped to feature the Exynos W940 processor on one of the variants which could translate to significant improvement in its speed and battery performance. The upcoming Samsung wearable has seen a flurry of insights ahead of its expected launch this summer.

The Exynos W940 processor of the Galaxy Watch 7 series is about 50% more efficient and 30% faster than the previous model, according to tipster @TheGalox. Apart from the chipset upgrade, the Galaxy Watch 7 will reportedly come in a square shape – a first for a Samsung wearable. The square-shaped idea is being considered enthusiastically in-house.

The inclusion of a major hardware upgrade of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is a major highlight, as things move more slowly in wearable technology. There was no change in processor between the Galaxy Watch 1 and 3, as well as between the Galaxy Watch 4 and 5. The respective chipsets for the two sets of Samsung Galaxy smartwatches were the Exynos 9110 and Exynos W920.

Both the speed and efficiency improvements for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 are significant. While the original Galaxy Watch had a 4-day battery life, subsequent models declined from that benchmark but the Galaxy Watch 7 could move up in this regard. There are several smart wearables in the market including the OnePlus Watch 2 that deliver up to 100 hours of battery life.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 could be available in three versions, according to tipster @kro-roe. The models are the traditional Classic and Pro versions, in addition to a new version that could represent the square model being considered. Samsung has for the last few years, introduced the new Galaxy Watch series in August alongside new foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip. Therefore, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 are expected to debut in the summer as well.
