Specifications and features:

The watch comes with a 47mm dial and equips a 1.5-inch (37.3mm) 480×480 Super AMOLED, always on display. It will be available in three colors – titanium rock gray, titanium platinum silver, and titanium porcelain white.

This watch also equips the same 3nm Exynos W1000 penta-core chipset that powers the Galaxy Watch 7. According to the company, this new chipset is significantly more capable and power efficient as compared to the dual-core Exynos W930 chip that powers the Galaxy Watch 6. The Exynos W1000 chipset is paired with 2GB memory + 32GB storage. The watch equips a 590mAh battery to power the system.

When the power saving mode is disabled, the Galaxy Watch Ultra offers a battery life of up to 80 hours. At night, the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s display automatically switches to a gentle night mode.

Just like the regular Galaxy Watch 7, this Ultra model also comes with the Samsung BioActive Sensor (Optical Bio-signal sensor+ Electrical Heart Signal + Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis), Temperature Sensor, Accelerometer, Barometer, Gyro Sensor, Geomagnetic Sensor, and Light Sensor. These sensors enable a bunch of health-tracking features. For example, you can track multi-course workouts for a triathlon from swimming to cycling to running with the new Multi-sports tile. The new Functional Threshold Power (FTP) for cycling measures maximum cycling power in just four (4) minutes with AI-powered FTP metrics.

Pricing and availability:

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is currently available for pre-order in select regions through the company’s official website. The Ultra model comes with WiFi + 4G LTE connectivity and is currently priced at $649 (₹ 59,999). The company says that the watch will become generally available for sale starting from 25 July 2024.

Samsung is rumored to be working on the Galaxy Watch 7 series, its next-gen lineup of premium smartwatches. But ahead of any official announcement, the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra has surfaced in a Chinese certification platform. So let’s have a look.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 & Watch 7 Ultra Visits 3C

The South Korean tech giant’s upcoming smartwatches were spotted on the 3C certification (Via MySmartPrice). The Galaxy Watch 7 was seen carrying the SM-L315 model number, while the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra was seen with the SM-705 model number. The Chinese database reveals that both models are LTE variants of the smartwatches. Furthermore, the listing confirmed that the Galaxy Watch 7 series is charged by an adapter that carries the EP-T1510 model number, at least during the testing phase.

Samsung is set to host the Galaxy Unpacked event on 10th July 2024. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 foldable smartphones are set to be unveiled at this conference. During this same major event, the brand is expected to unveil the Galaxy Watch 7 lineup as well. Just last week, the Galaxy Watch 7 was spotted on Amazon Canada. This showcased some of its specs and features like 128GB storage, Bluetooth connectivity, Activity Tracker, Alarm Clock, and Contactless Payments.

The Galaxy Watch 7 will have a circular display that has a 40mm screen. It will support BioActiveSensor2 for more accurate heart rate measurements during exercise and sleep. These next-gen smartwatches could also act as an AI companion that functions even when you sleep, exercise, and for communication as well. The e-retailer listing claims that the Galaxy Watch 7 will launch on 16th July 2024 and it will have a 358.55 CAD (roughly 262 US Dollars).

Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra could bring over 2x longer battery life than the Watch6 Classic

Samsung will introduce the Galaxy Watch 7 series in June, which will be available in three versions. While the top model is expected to be called the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra, it could also be called the Galaxy Watch X according to a new rumor. It will likely compete with the Apple Watch Ultra.

Galaxy Watch X / Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra rumored specs

The Galaxy Watch X or the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra will reportedly be able to handle the pressure equivalent to 100 meters underwater, which is the same as the Apple Watch Ultra and Apple Watch Ultra 2. However, it’s important to note that the actual depth the devices can handle is different, which is 40 meters only for the Apple Watch Ultra. It could be a similar story for the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra as well.

According to reports, the Watch 7 Ultra will have longer battery life than the other models in the Watch 7 series. You may get 100 hours of battery backup with a 578mAh battery pack inside the Watch 7 Ultra. For context, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and the Watch5 Pro reportedly offer a significantly lower 40 hours and 80 hours of battery life with a 425mAh and a bigger 590mAh battery respectively. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 reportedly offers a battery life of 36 hours with a capacity of 564mAh.

While the Watch 7 Ultra could bring a slightly larger battery, the massive improvement (speculated) seems to be due to a more power-efficient operation of the device. The device will equip the 3nm Exynos W1000 chip, which is said to be 20% more capable and power efficient as compared to the 5nm Exynos W930.

The W1000 will also likely be Samsung’s first 3nm chip for the mass market. The company will also introduce the next-generation Galaxy foldables and the long-anticipated Galaxy Ring along with the new watches.

Nonetheless, the Ultra model will join the vanilla Watch 7 and is expected to run the latest Wear OS 5 with Samsung’s One UI Watch 6 on top. Samsung is also expected to launch a Galaxy Watch FE, likely a refreshed version of the Galaxy Watch 4 at a more affordable price point.

The company’s first smart ring, the Galaxy Ring, debuted late last year and could also see a wider release at the upcoming event.

Here’s the list of devices shared by the tipster:

Laptops: Galaxy Book 4 Edge and Edge Pro (already launched)
