While most recent leaks concerning Samsung's upcoming smartwatches focus entirely on the Galaxy Watch Ultra model, rumors say the lineup will also accommodate a regular Galaxy Watch 7 variant with no physical bezel.
This standard version should have a circular design and be available in two sizes. And now, more specs pertaining to this model appear to have accidentally leaked through Amazon Canada.
The screenshot below of a listing on Amazon Canada (captured by PassionaeGeekz) spills the beans and reconfirms some specs, pricing details, and availability plans for Canada.
As expected, the Galaxy Watch 7 will be released globally on July 10, but somewhat unexpectedly, this 40mm model with Bluetooth-only connectivity is listed for a relatively high price of $359 (CAD).
Given the fact that the Galaxy Watch 6 had an entry-level price of $299 (CAD) at launch, the upcoming Galaxy Watch 7 might cost $70 extra, which is nothing to sneeze at.
3nm AP, new sensors, and Galaxy AI
It's worth highlighting that not every detail mentioned in this screenshot appears accurate. For example, the listing states that the Galaxy Watch 7 has a storage capacity of 128GB, which is too high to be correct. The wearable is more likely to sport 32GB of storage.
Nevertheless, aside from what's likely a typo, the listing goes into a few interesting details regarding some of the Galaxy Watch 7's potential features, such as:
- An upgraded 3nm chipset (presumably named Exynos W940).
- A new BioActive 2 sensor for more accurate health and fitness readings.
- New AI-based features such as AI-powered sleep tracking, exercise tracking, and “AI Powered Communication.”
The listing also says that the Watch 7 will “leverage Galaxy AI smart reply to help find the right words and tone when replying to messages on the watch.”
It sounds like the Galaxy Watch 7 will either employ Galaxy AI's Chat Assist on-device or be capable of accessing the feature from a connected Galaxy AI-enabled phone.
Other detailed hardware specs pertaining to display brightness or battery life seem to be missing from this early listing, so take it for what it's worth. Let's not forget that nothing is set in stone until Samsung says it is.
The company is expected to announce the Galaxy Watch 7 on July 10 in Paris, so we won't have to wait much longer before we set our eyes on the next-gen Samsung wearables.
