Samsung is gearing up to launch its latest generation of wearable and foldable devices. According to a report by 9To5Google, the South Korean tech giant has confirmed the upcoming release of several new products, including the Galaxy Watch 7 series, Galaxy Watch FE, Galaxy Buds 3, Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, and the much-anticipated Galaxy Ring. These devices were recently mentioned in Samsung’s Members app for Galaxy users, signaling their imminent launch, likely at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10, 2024.
Samsung Hints at New Wearables in Members App
In a notable update to its Galaxy Members app, Samsung has provided users with options to select and report issues related to the Galaxy Watch 7, Watch FE, Buds 3, Buds 3 Pro, and Galaxy Ring. This is the first time the Galaxy Watch 7 series and Galaxy Buds 3 series have been mentioned officially, while the Galaxy Ring was initially showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) earlier this year. Though the app’s update does not reveal detailed specifications for these devices, the inclusion of their names strongly suggests that Samsung is preparing to officially unveil them soon.
The Galaxy Ring, which is designed as a health-tracking smart device worn on the finger, has already garnered significant attention since its preview at CES. It is expected to be one of the more innovative products in Samsung’s wearable lineup, offering advanced biometric tracking, including heart rate monitoring, sleep analysis, and possibly even more specialized health data. With this app update, Samsung has further heightened expectations for its debut.
Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Buds 3 Series
While details about the Galaxy Watch 7 series and Galaxy Buds 3 series remain scarce, these devices are expected to build on the successes of their predecessors. The Galaxy Watch 6 series was praised for its sleek design, robust health features, and smooth performance. As the next iteration, the Galaxy Watch 7 is anticipated to offer enhanced fitness tracking, improved battery life, and potentially new health-focused sensors.
Similarly, the Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro are expected to deliver upgraded sound quality and noise-cancellation capabilities. These earbuds will likely feature better Bluetooth connectivity, longer battery life, and superior sound customization options through Samsung’s companion app. Given Samsung’s focus on seamless integration across its ecosystem, these wearables will likely be optimized for use with other Galaxy devices.
Foldable Devices: Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6
Alongside its next-gen wearables, Samsung is also preparing to introduce its 2024 foldable phones. Earlier this month, Samsung acknowledged the development of new foldable devices in an official blog post on its newsroom. Won-Joon Choi, the EVP and head of Samsung’s Mobile Research and Development, highlighted that the company is focusing on optimizing the Galaxy AI experience for its upcoming foldable models. This acknowledgment adds to growing speculation that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked event.
According to media reports, Samsung briefly posted an ad for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 on its website in Kazakhstan, which was quickly removed. This unintentional leak further supports the theory that these devices are close to their official release.
The Galaxy Z Fold and Flip series have been key players in the foldable smartphone market, and the upcoming models are expected to push the boundaries of what these devices can offer. Improvements in durability, screen technology, and overall performance are anticipated, alongside Samsung’s efforts to refine its software experience to better support multitasking and productivity on foldable screens.
Galaxy Unpacked Event on July 10
All signs point to July 10 as the date for Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event, where the company will likely unveil its new range of devices. The event is expected to be a major showcase of Samsung’s hardware innovations, from its next-gen wearables to its cutting-edge foldable phones. As the market for wearables and foldables continues to grow, Samsung is positioning itself as a leader in both categories, and the upcoming product launches are set to strengthen its standing further.
With the Galaxy Watch 7, Watch FE, Galaxy Buds 3, Buds 3 Pro, and Galaxy Ring on the horizon, as well as the expected announcement of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6, Samsung fans and tech enthusiasts alike have much to look forward to.
