Samsung is anticipated to unveil the Galaxy Watch 7 series at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, rumored for July. This aligns with the previous year's July launch of its predecessor. Although Samsung has yet to officially disclose any details about the new series, it has appeared on a few certification platforms, providing some key insights.
FCC Certification Insights
The latest revelation comes from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification, identified by MySmartPrice. It details Galaxy Watch 7 models with the model numbers SM-L300, SM-L305, SM-L310, and SM-L315, along with a Galaxy Watch FE bearing the model number SM-R861. Let's delve into the specifications that have been uncovered.
SM-L305: 15W Fast Wireless Charging
The Galaxy Watches identified as SM-L300 and SM-L310 appear to be Wi-Fi only, while the SM-L305 and SM-L315 seem to be their LTE variants. The SM-L300 and SM-L310 are expected to come in 40mm and 44mm diameters, respectively.
The certification also reveals that the SM-L305, which supports LTE, will feature 15W fast wireless charging. For context, the Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 5 only support 10W wireless charging. The model number for the new 15W wireless charger is EP-OL300. Unfortunately, no additional details about the chipset or battery for the new series have been disclosed.
Galaxy Watch FE: Slower Wireless Charging
For comparison, the predecessor features an Exynos W930 (5nm) chip with dual 1.4GHz Cortex-A55 cores, powered by a 425mAh battery, and launched with OneUI Watch 5 based on Android Wear OS 4.
Interestingly, the listing indicates that the Galaxy Watch FE, model number SM-R861, will support slower 5W wireless charging, similar to the Galaxy Watch 4. The FE model has also been spotted on the latest OneUI build.
Summary
In summary, there will be three Galaxy Watch models: two with and without LTE connectivity and the new Galaxy Watch FE, which is unlikely to offer LTE connectivity.
