As per speculations, Samsung is rumored to be expanding its Galaxy Watch lineup by introducing three models instead of the usual two, signaling a strategic shift for the company. This shift is supported by insights from Samsung's Q1 earnings call announcement. The South Korean tech giant recently disclosed key details regarding its future wearable devices strategy.
Samsung's Enhanced Wearables Strategy
In its press release, Samsung highlighted its intention to enhance the overall Galaxy ecosystem experience by introducing new models and different form factors such as the Galaxy Ring. This emphasis suggests that Samsung may soon unveil additional models within the Galaxy Watch series, although the specific naming conventions are yet to be revealed. Reports suggest that Samsung is developing a more budget-friendly Galaxy Watch tentatively named the Galaxy Watch 4 (2024). Furthermore, there are hints that Samsung might return to a rectangular design for one of the forthcoming models in the Watch 7 series.
Evolving Towards Premium Galaxy Watch Models
Samsung's official statement also hints at the launch of more wearable devices resembling the Galaxy Ring in terms of form factor. The press release mentions that "the company will strive to meet demand for upgrades through the launch of new premium models." This implies that user-requested enhancements are likely to be incorporated into the upcoming premium Galaxy Watch models. While the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic currently serves as Samsung's premium offering, consumers can anticipate a higher-tier model, possibly named Pro or Ultra, within the upcoming Galaxy Watch 7 series.
Anticipated Unveiling at Galaxy Unpacked Event
The Galaxy Watch 7 series, along with the speculated Galaxy Ring, is highly anticipated to make their debut at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for July 10th.
