  • Samsung Galaxy Watch FE Revealed in Latest One UI Update

    Samsung Galaxy Watch FE Revealed in Latest One UI Update

    Samsung's FE series has been quite successful with their Galaxy S smartphones, and there are speculations that they might expand this to foldable phones. The FE branding may not stop at phones alone. Reports indicate that Samsung is also planning to introduce a smartwatch to the FE series – the Galaxy Watch FE.

    Recently, Android Headlines discovered the newest firmware builds for the Galaxy Watch FE on Samsung’s OTA servers. The watch is identified with the model number SM-R861, which is a WiFi version, according to the report.

    Firmware Details

    The software version R861XXU0AXE5/R8610XM0AXE5 for the smartwatch features the letter “A,” indicating it is the first One UI build for the device, and “XE,” which points to a May 2024 release of the firmware.

    Additionally, the publication mentions that it has seen five test builds on the server, implying that Samsung is actively developing the Watch FE. These test builds also show that the Wi-Fi variants of the Watch FE will be available in Korea, Europe, and Turkey.

    Similarities to Galaxy Watch 4

    Examining the model number more closely, the Watch FE (SM-R861) is similar to the Galaxy Watch4 (SM-R860). Rumors suggest that the Watch FE will share specifications with the Galaxy Watch 4, and this leak further supports that theory.

    Moreover, the smartwatch was previously seen with model numbers SM-R866F, SM-R866U, and SM-R866N in the IMEI database. According to Android Headlines, these are likely the LTE variants of the Watch FE.

    Historically, FE devices maintain the essential features of their premium counterparts while omitting non-essential elements to reduce costs. The upcoming Galaxy Watch FE is expected to continue this trend.

  • Huawei Watch Fit 3 may disappoint Chinese users without WeChat

    Huawei Watch Fit 3 may disappoint Chinese users without WeChat

    Huawei has recently introduced the Watch Fit 3 to the global market, showcasing its elegant design featuring a 1.82-inch AMOLED display, 1500 nits brightness, and a 77.4% screen-to-body ratio. The smartwatch boasts a battery life of up to 10 days and is competitively priced starting at €160.

    Missing Feature Disappointment

    Early unboxings of the Watch Fit 3 ahead of its China release on May 15th have revealed a notable absence that has disappointed fitness tracker enthusiasts. Reports from stores unpacking the smartwatch indicate that it does not come pre-installed with the highly anticipated WeChat smartwatch app.

    This news has disappointed many users who were looking forward to utilizing the WeChat smartwatch app, known for its tailored features such as voice-to-text messaging, image viewing, voice replies, and animated emoticon support. The absence of this app has been a cause for concern among netizens, evident from conversations on platforms like Pollen Club where users expressed their frustration over the missing WeChat functionality.

    Potential Solutions

    Although the lack of the WeChat app pre-installation is a setback, there is some hope for potential solutions. One possibility is that Huawei may release the WeChat app through an over-the-air (OTA) update post-launch, enabling further optimization and bug fixes before users can access it. Alternatively, the retail version of the smartwatch set to hit shelves in China on May 15th might include the app already installed.

    The absence of confirmed WeChat support poses a challenge for the Watch Fit 3's launch, especially in China where WeChat is a pivotal communication platform. Not having WeChat integrated into the smartwatch could be a significant drawback for users, affecting its appeal and functionality in the local market.
