Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra Could be called ‘Galaxy Watch X’ Increased water resistance and improved battery
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 series is close to taking the floor at the Galaxy Unpacked event in July, which is expected to bring three variants, including a premium called “Ultra,” but it may not be Samsung’s final name chosen; potentially, it will be called “Samsung Galaxy Watch X.”
Samsung Galaxy Watch X’ Likely New Name for Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra with Key Upgrades
Initially, it was reported that the forthcoming Galaxy Watch 7 series could bring three variants, including standard, classic, and pro, but now the new report is unfolding a different story. If the report is to be believed, the premium model ‘Ultra’ within the Galaxy Watch 7 series may not be Samsung’s final name chosen; however, most probably it will be called ‘Samsung Galaxy Watch X.’
This upcoming Samsung Watch is designed to compete in a direct challenge to the Apple Watch Ultra series; exactly for this reason, the Korean giant may have decided to dispense with the word “Ultra” dedicatedly to avoid confusion and, above all, to further differentiate itself from its rivals. The competition will be particularly fierce, with Samsung looking forward to offering increasingly advanced features and superior performance.
For the next-generation Galaxy Watch 7, diving will be a key factor. Rumors suggest that the new Galaxy Watch X will be water resistant up to 100 meters, with the same water resistance ratings as the Apple Watch Ultra.
Water resistance is referred to as pressure classification, measured in atmospheres (ATM), so the actual depth that can be reached without lowering is 40 meters in the case of the Apple Watch and most probably also for Samsung’s Watch. The upcoming Watch X is also supposed to have an improved battery life. On the comparison side, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic claims up to 40 hours of battery life, the Watch 5 Pro up to 80 hours, and the Apple Watch Ultra runs up to 36 hours.
The battery life improvement is expected due to the Exynos W1000 chips, the first 3 nm chip from Samsung. Water resistance The Galaxy Watch X is also supposed to have a better life than its inline counterpart, the Watch 5 Pro, for at least 80 hours. This watch will be Samsung’s first watch to be built based on a 3nm chip, but it appears, at least compared to the Classic model, that the 578mAh batteries have increased in size.
The rumors indicate that both the name and other details of the Galaxy Watch X will be presented on June 24 instead of the previously reported July 10. However, the watch will not be alone, since the report is hinting that the Galaxy Ring and the next-generation foldable phones could also join the watch for the official launch.
