Samsung held a virtual event today for this year’s edition of MWC during which it revealed new details about the new operating system for smartwatches borne from the merger of Wear OS and Tizen. While there is a lot to look forward to with the new OS, Samsung also revealed key info about older smartwatches, one that is a mix of good and bad news.

It was revealed that users with Tizen-based smartwatches will receive software updates and Galaxy Store support for up to 3 years from launch. While this is good news, it also indirectly confirms that these watches will not get updated to the new operating system.

A small text at the bottom of the screen adds that software updates will be available to the following devices:

• Galaxy Watch
• Galaxy Watch Active
• Galaxy Watch3
• Galaxy Watch Active2

This means the Galaxy Watch which was announced in 2018 will have its software support come to an end this year. The Galaxy Watch Active and Galaxy Watch Active2 both announced in 2019 still have one more year of updates while the Galaxy Watch3 has two years of software support left.

Samsung introduced the Galaxy Watch 3 and Watch Active 2 with ECG hardware. However, the functionality was available only to South Korean users. Finally, that ends today as Samsung has expanded the ECG and Blood Pressure tracking to 31 more countries.

Samsung, through a press release, announced that the Samsung Health Monitor app will now be available across 31 more countries. For the unware, users of Samsung should install this App on both their Smartphones and Wearables. Using this, they can avail the Blood pressure and Electrocardiogram(ECG) tracking feature.

First off, the above-mentioned features will be available for 28 new European countries, in addition to Chile, Indonesia, and the UAE. The rollout will be a staged process starting from February 4.

Samsung says that it is able to expand to EU nations after receiving the CE-marking in December 2020. This marking is for complying with health, safety, and environmental protection standards within European Economic Area(EEA).

Hence, the Samsung Health Monitor App will now enable the features in the 28 European countries as follows: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK.

Talking about the features, the Heartrate monitoring sensors use the pulse wave analysis to track the Blood Pressure of the users. The difference between the calibration value and the change in blood pressure will show the result.

As for ECG, the Galaxy Watch 3 / Watch Active2 have a dedicated sensor to study the heart’s electrical activity. Any inconsistent results are interpolated to show if the person is having the risk of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) and duly notified.

To measure, rest your forearm on a flat surface and place a fingertip from the opposite hand on the top button on the smartwatch for 30 seconds. You can also watch the tutorial videos of Blood Pressure and ECG to get an idea.

The Galaxy Z Fold 2 already has a limited edition made in collaboration with Thom Browne, the New York-based fashion house. However, not everyone is familiar with the fashion house. If you reside in China, you should be able to pick up a new limited edition Galaxy Z Fold 2 made in collaboration with the popular automobile company, Aston Martin.

Photos of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 Aston Martin Limited Edition were posted on Twitter by Ice Universe and they give us an early look before Samsung’s official unveiling.

As shown in the images, the phone will come in a large gray box. On the top is written Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G and Galaxy Watch3 which means that this limited edition unit doesn’t include a pair of the Galaxy Buds Live, unlike the Thom Browne Edition. The box also has Tmall written at the bottom which means it should be sold by the retail giant. We checked the Tmall store but it is yet to be listed there.

Inside the box is the Galaxy Z Fold 2 in Mystic Black with no customization whatsoever including an Aston Martin logo. However, you do get an orange leather Aston Martin case. There is also an Aston Martin polo shirt in navy blue, a black and white baseball hat, and a Mystic Black Galaxy Watch3 included in the box.

We do not know when Samsung plans to unveil the phone but it should not be far off. We also expect it to cost less than the Thom Browne Edition.

That said, apart from the use of different material and a special golf application, the Galaxy Watch3 Titanium is exactly the same in terms of features as it comes with identical internals, rotating bezel, and display as the regular version.

Additionally, the South Korean tech giant also announced a limited edition of this smartwatch called Galaxy Watch3 Titanium PXG Edition in collaboration with premium golf equipment company Parsons Xtreme Golf (PXG).

Galaxy Watch3 Price and Availability – India

The new Samsung Galaxy Watch3 is the direct successor to the original Galaxy Watch from 2018. It retains the same physical rotating bezel but comes with a smaller battery and updated Tizen software.

Samsung launches all the four variants of the Galaxy Watch3 in India and their prices are as listed below.

Talking about colors, the smaller 41mm model will be available in Mystic Bronze and Mystic Silver. Whereas, the larger 45mm model will come in Mystic Silver and Mystic Black.

Galaxy Buds Live Price and Availability – India

Galaxy Buds Live, one of the uniquely designed TWS in the world is priced at ₹14,990 in India. It will be available in three colors namely Mystic Bronze, Mystic Black, and Mystic Black.

For comparison, the Galaxy Buds+ (Plus) debuted at ₹13,990 earlier this year but with the launch of Buds live with better features like ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), the former currently retails for around ₹11,000 in the country.

That said, the Galaxy Buds Live will go on sale starting August 25 across retail stores, Samsung Opera House, Samsung online store, and leading online portals.

Galaxy Watch3 and Galaxy Buds Live Launch Offers – India

Samsung recently unveiled its next generation of smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch 3. It arrives with support for multiple health related functions, including an electrocardiogram (ECG) feature. However, this is only available for the South Korean variant for now, and will soon be available on the Galaxy Watch 3 global version and Galaxy Watch Active 2 as well, as reported by Engadget.

Among its other notable health features, the new Galaxy Watch 3 also supports blood pressure monitoring, something the Apple Watch has yet to offer. Although, it does require one to calibrate it with a blood pressure cuff to get the baseline readings. But after this, it can calculate the systolic and diastolic pressures through the use of algorithms. Keep in mind, it won’t be as accurate as a standard blood pressure monitor.

One of the big let downs is that these features are only available in South Korea. Samsung was waiting for FDA approval before bringing blood pressure monitoring and ECG to the US. According to the South Korean tech giant’s recent livestream, approval for both have been received, which means that the update for these features should arrive soon.

Other health related features like the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 Max) and SpO2 (relative blood oxygen) readings will also be present in the device. But unfortunately, it will not be available from day one of launch. Samsung plans on adding these through future software updates sometime during Q3 2020.

The August 5 Galaxy Unpacked event is not so far away. Samsung is expected to unveil a number of products on that day apart from Galaxy Note 20 series. Two of them are accessories namely Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Buds Live. Now, just a few days ahead of their launch, some of their unique features have been revealed, thanks to their plugin apps (companion apps) on Google Play Store.

Samsung has prematurely published the plugin apps of Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Buds Live on Play Store. This has resulted in a revelation of features that remained wrapped up until now despite numerous render leaks 

Having said that, here are some interesting previously unknown features of South Koren tech giant’s upcoming accessories.

Galaxy Watch 3 Features

The teardown of the Galaxy Watch 3 Plugin app was carried out by Max Weinbach of XDA Developers. He found out new gestures, fall detection, and a plethora of default watch faces.

Talking about gestures first, since the Galaxy Watch 3 will come with a speaker, users will be able to clench and unclench their wrist to accept calls and start conversing. Similarly, they will have an option to decline calls by shaking their hand. Also, the screenshot gesture will be different and it will only require users to press both side buttons instead of holding the button and swiping left at the same time.

The most important and useful feature will be the new “Fall Detection” functionality similar to Apple Watches. When the wearable detects a fall, it will ring for 60 seconds and if the user doesn’t respond, it will text their location and 5 seconds sound recording to their emergency contacts.

Lastly, there will be a total of 47 default watch faces. Apart from these, users will be also able to install other watch faces from the store.

Galaxy Buds Live Features

Just like with the Galaxy Watch 3, the Galaxy Buds Live Plugin app confirms all the previously leaked features (via The Verge). The main highlight of this upcoming TWS will be ANC (Active Noise Cancellation).

The app also has tutorials to pair the herdable to devices along with a short instruction clip on how to wear it. Well-known leaker Ishan Agarwal shared this video on Twitter.

Further, the app confirms support for customizing touch controls and other features like find buds as well as equalizer option to name a few. Last but not least, the Galaxy Buds Live will also able to read notifications aloud to users.

The July 22 date was found mentioned in the leaked renders of the Galaxy Watch 3 that surfaced recently. Since then, it has been speculated that the South Korean tech giant may announce the Galaxy Watch 3 on the said date which falls exactly two weeks before the Galaxy Unpacked event.

According to a tipster, the Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Watch 3 will not debut at the Galaxy Unpacked. His tweet hints that event the Tab S7 will break cover along with the Galaxy Watch 3 on July 22. Since Samsung has not officially confirmed the launch date, it may not hold a separate launch event for these devices. Probably, the company will be rolling out a press release to announce the Tab S7 lineup and Watch 3.

A South Korean publication had recently reported that Samsung may hold the Unpacked unveil event on Aug. 5 to announce Galaxy Note 20 series and Galaxy Fold 2. Another South Korean publication has revealed the names of other devices that are expected to go official alongside the above-mentioned devices. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, Samsung will be holding an online event to announce its new devices.

According to The Korea Herald, Samsung will be launching Galaxy Z Flip 5G and Galaxy Watch 3 along with Galaxy Note 20 series and Galaxy Fold 2. Even reliable tipster Jon Prosser tweeted that the company would launch Galaxy Z Flip 5G on Aug. 5. The tipster believes that the Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy Fold 2, and Galaxy Z Flip 5G will be available for purchase from Aug. 20.

The South Korean publication has not revealed any information on the specs of the Galaxy Z Flip 5G. Samsung had launched Snapdragon 855 powered Galaxy Z Flip clamshell phone with foldable display earlier this year. The elegant device did not carry support for 5G connectivity. It is unclear which processor will be driving the Galaxy Z Flip 5G. Some rumors have claimed that the upcoming 5G edition will have a base storage of 256 GB and it may come in a new brown color.

It has been two years since Samsung launched the first Galaxy Watch. Its spiritual successor has been under the leaks radar for a while now. It was recently spotted on Thailand’s NBTC certification, which has also revealed its branding to be Galaxy Watch 3, in addition to its size.

The last time Samsung skipped a generation turned out to be disastrous (Galaxy Note 7). Hopefully, that does not happen this time since the scenario is different.

The South Korean tech giant is probably naming its upcoming smartwatch Galaxy Watch 3 since it did not launch any model in the series last year. Thus, we can expect it to offer a much better experience than its predecessor from 2018.

Further, the NBTC certification portal also exposed the size of this wearable to be 41mm. That means it will come in two sizes just like the previous model. For the unaware, the larger 45mm was spotted on FCC listing a few days back.

Anyway, the specifications of Galaxy Watch 3 is still a mystery which is a good thing in today’s world of leaks. However, it has been allegedly confirmed to feature a physical rotating bezel similar to the original. Also, it is expected to come with these model numbers – SM-R845, SM-R855, SM-R840, and SM-R850.

We can expect Samsung to officially unveil the Galaxy Watch 3 at the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Fold 2 launch event which was recently tipped to take place on August 5.
