This leak just spoiled the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7

Samsung is expected to unveil new products at a press event in Paris, France, on July 10. Although we’ve known which devices will likely be showcased for months, a new leak has confirmed at least one of the devices in the lineup.

As first spotted by PassionateGeekz, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 was temporarily leaked on the Amazon Canada website. Next month, the new wearable is expected to officially launch alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and heavily anticipated Galaxy Watch Ultra.

As you can see below, the Amazon Canada product page, which has now been removed, didn’t give away much information about the new Galaxy Watch 7. However, key details appear to confirm at least some of the previous rumors. For example, it looks like the wearable device will once again be 40mm, just like the Galaxy Watch 6, and will be priced at around $300 in the U.S., although it will be higher in Canada because of the exchange rate.

The webpage also indicates that the watch has the “first 3nm AP chip,” which will improve power efficiency and enhance performance. This chip is probably the Exynos W1000. Additionally, the new watch is expected to offer AI features impacting “powered sleep,” “powered exercise,” and “powered communication.” Finally, the leaked image says the item will be released on Wednesday, July 10. This would mean the watch will be released the same day as its rumored big reveal.

For years, Samsung has introduced a regular Galaxy Watch alongside a “Classic” version. For 2024, it’s expected to reveal an “Ultra” version for the first time. This version, which is likely designed to take on the Apple Watch Ultra 2, is the one most folks will discuss. However, it’s good to see further confirmation that Samsung isn’t forgetting its less expensive smartwatch.

Interestingly, Samsung still hasn’t announced a July Unpacked event. However, that should be coming soon — unless the rumors aren’t correct!

Samsung is starting to lose the foldable race

Hot on the heels of its Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung has launched its next generation of foldables with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. These new foldables are packed with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and plenty of RAM, they have powerful camera systems, and they come in a variety of colors.

But in its sixth year of leading the foldable market, Samsung seems to be losing some momentum. After all, the new Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 have pretty minimal differences from their predecessors, especially in the case of the Flip.

Samsung’s big Galaxy Ring bet already seems to be paying off
The gold Samsung Galaxy Ring.

Samsung may have an early hit on its hands if production estimates about the new Galaxy Ring are accurate. A report claims Samsung has more than doubled its initial production run of the smart ring, taking it to a million units. This gives us insight into the early interest in Samsung’s first smart ring, and also in the general attitude toward the relatively new type of wearable.

According to The Elec, Samsung intended to produce 400,000 Galaxy Rings at first and then examine performance and demand before deciding whether to increase this number. An unidentified source told the publication that Samsung has now increased this by an extra 600,000 rings, which indicates Samsung has seen far higher demand than initially expected for its very first smart ring.
