Samsung’s annual smartwatch refresh is on the horizon, and a new leak has all but confirmed that the Galaxy Watch 8 is in the works and will be launched in 2025. Following the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra debut in mid-2024, the tech giant is expected to unveil its next wave of wearables alongside its foldable phones around July or August. A recent firmware leak has now given us our first solid hint at what’s coming.
Test firmware for the Galaxy Watch 8 has been spotted
X user @theonecid spotted a test firmware, which includes model numbers for the Galaxy Watch 8. The Bluetooth variants clock in as SM-L320 and SM-L330, tied to firmware versions L320XXU0AYC4/L320OXM0AYC4, while US LTE models appear as SM-L325U and SM-L335U, linked to L325USQU0AYC6/L325UOYM0AYC. These follow Samsung’s predictable naming pattern—think SM-L310 and SM-L315 for the Watch 7—making it a safe bet these are the real deal.
Though specs remain under wraps, the leak signals that Samsung is almost done with the Galaxy Watch 8 models. With the Watch 7’s upgraded health sensor and AI-driven wellness and sleep tracking, expectations are high for the Watch 8 to refine these strengths. Could we see even smarter fitness tracking features or a sleeker design? More details should surface as we inch closer to the launch.
Last year’s upgrades were a hit, which combined cutting-edge health-tracking features with user-friendly AI features. The Watch 8 will likely refine those aspects, potentially syncing its reveal with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7. For now, this firmware leak is a compelling teaser, promising another standout smartwatch from a brand that’s mastered the wearable game.
