Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy Watch 7 series in June, and it will come in three different versions. The top-tier model might be named the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra, although there are rumors it could be called the Galaxy Watch X. This model is expected to be a direct competitor to the Apple Watch Ultra.
Galaxy Watch X / Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra Rumored Specifications
The Galaxy Watch X or the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra is rumored to withstand pressure equivalent to 100 meters underwater, similar to both the Apple Watch Ultra and Apple Watch Ultra 2. However, it's important to distinguish that the actual depth the Apple Watch Ultra can handle is 40 meters, and this might also be true for the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra.
Reports suggest that the Watch 7 Ultra will boast a longer battery life compared to other models in the Watch 7 series. You can expect up to 100 hours of battery backup, thanks to a 578mAh battery. For comparison, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and the Watch5 Pro offer significantly less battery life at 40 hours and 80 hours, with 425mAh and 590mAh batteries respectively. The Apple Watch Ultra 2, on the other hand, provides 36 hours of battery life with a 564mAh capacity.
Enhanced Battery and Efficiency
Even though the Watch 7 Ultra might feature a slightly larger battery, the substantial improvement in battery life is speculated to be due to more power-efficient operation. The device will be powered by the 3nm Exynos W1000 chip, which is reported to be 20% more capable and power-efficient than the 5nm Exynos W930.
The W1000 chip is anticipated to be Samsung's first 3nm chip for the mass market. Alongside the new watches, the company is also expected to introduce the next-generation Galaxy foldables and the much-awaited Galaxy Ring.
