The Galaxy Watch FE looks determined to steal its own thunder. Following design leaks, the wearable has now prematurely appeared on an Amazon listing, spilling the beans on its price and some key details.
We already knew the Galaxy Watch FE would likely fall into the budget category, and the Amazon listing confirms this. It’s priced at €199, which translates to roughly $215. The listing also confirms that the Watch FE will be available in a 40mm size and three colors – Black, Silver, and Pink Gold.
As we know, the Galaxy Watch FE will borrow heavily from the three-year-old Galaxy Watch 4. The design features wider bezels, a look that feels dated compared to current smartwatch trends.
The Amazon listing itself is light on details beyond size, dimensions (40 x 10 x 39 mm), and weight (26.6 grams). Thankfully, previous leaks have filled in the blanks.
The Watch FE will feature a 1.2-inch Super AMOLED display with a 396 x 396 pixel resolution. Powering the watch will be a dual-core Exynos W920 processor clocked at 1.18 GHz, backed by 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of storage.
On the software side, the Galaxy Watch FE is expected to run the latest Wear OS 4 with Samsung’s One UI Watch 5 on top. Battery life is expected to be around 30 hours thanks to the 247mAh battery.
The watch will also boast features like magnetic wireless charging, 5 ATM water resistance, an aluminum body, and MIL-STD-810H durability certification.
Now, the launch date is a bit of a mystery. Samsung’s Unpacked event is on July 10, and that’s when we expect to see Watch FE alongside the Galaxy Watch 7 and Ultra.
But Samsung is already offering the Watch FE for free with the purchase of S24 phones in Belgium (ending June 30). That got us thinking that the Watch FE might launch earlier than July. And guess what? A reliable source now claims the Watch FE will launch on June 24th. Now, we just need Samsung to make the smartwatch official, as we already know the details about it.
