As for the rumored third version, rumors circulated back in October that Samsung might be developing a Watch 7 “Ultra.” Presumably, the Ultra model will serve as a complement or replacement for the Watch 7 Pro.
It is said that such devices may be equipped with MicroLED displays. Compared with other LED products, the display will provide a richer color experience, including better contrast, brightness and energy efficiency.
Meanwhile, the rumored Samsung Exynos W940 chip was also rumored last October, suggesting it would be manufactured using a 3nm process instead of a 5nm process. In addition to the areas where W940 can be improved, it was previously said that the area of the new chip can be reduced by 35%. If the rumors are true, consumers may buy a thinner Galaxy Watch 7.
The official launch of the Watch 7 series may be just a few months away, with Samsung’s Summer Unpacked event likely to take place on July 10 in Paris, France.
