Techmaniacs has reportedly gotten hold of some insider news regarding Samsung’s plans for its Galaxy Watch lineup later this year. Earlier this month, it was revealed that Samsung is working on two different sizes of the Galaxy Watch8, which will come in both Wi-Fi and LTE models. So far, test firmware for the models SM-L320, SM-L325, SM-L330, and SM-L335 has surfaced online.

New Options in Development

The same leak also pointed out two other models, the SM-L500 and SM-L505U, which also feature separate Wi-Fi and LTE variants. It’s still not clear what type of smartwatch these could be, as their model numbers don’t match the Galaxy Watch Ultra or the Galaxy Watch6 Classic (currently priced at $299 on Amazon).

Recently, Techmaniacs has revealed that Samsung’s third flagship smartwatch for this year will actually be the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, rather than the Galaxy Watch8 Classic. Supposedly, the design of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will remain the same as the original Galaxy Watch Ultra. However, it is expected to offer more memory, but whether this means increased storage, RAM, or both is still uncertain.

Pricing and Expectations

Furthermore, the site claims that the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will debut at the same launch price of €699. We are still unsure if this means that its US price will be around $649.99. In any case, Techmaniacs mentions that the original Galaxy Watch Ultra will see a permanent price reduction to about €400, which would be approximately $450 based on current currency rates. The Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 are anticipated to be launched this summer, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7.
