Along with smartphones and tablets, the South Korean tech firm Samsung has an enormous lineup of smartwatches as well. At present, Samsung has done launching five generations of the Galaxy Watch lineup and now are working on the upcoming Galaxy Watch 6 series. Recently, we have found some clues regarding this upcoming Galaxy Watch series’ battery.
As per the reports, both the devices of the upcoming Galaxy Watch 6 series- Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic will have the same battery specifications. In particular, the 40mm variant of the Galaxy Watch 6 will share the same battery as the 42mm variant of the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, and the 44mm variant of the Galaxy Watch 6 will have the same battery as the 46mm variant of the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic.

- 42mm (SM-R950/SM-R955): 300mAh battery.
- 46mm (SM-R960/SM-R965): 425mAh battery.
Informatively, the 40mm variant of the upcoming Galaxy Watch 6 device has model number SM-R930 and SM-R935, and the 44mm variant of the same have SM-R940 and SM-R945 model number. Other than this, the 42mm variant of the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic device has the model number SM-R950 and SM-R955, and the 46mm variant of the same has SM-R960 and SM-R965 model numbers.
Unfortunately, we haven’t got any info about the Pro model of this upcoming series. It is possible that the company isn’t planning to launch a Pro model this year, and the leaks and rumors we have got previously about it are mistaken with the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic device. If it is true so, all the information we have gathered till now about the Galaxy Watch 6 Pro applies to the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic device.
About this upcoming Galaxy Watch series, it is rumored that it will have a physical rotating bezel which has been removed from the previous Galaxy Watch series; however, there is no official confirmation about it. Not only that, but the Galaxy Watch 6 series’ launch date is also under the wraps, but we are expecting it to make its official debut to the market with the next-gen Galaxy foldable, most probably in August 2023.
In the last few years, Google has been dedicatedly working to improve the WearOS platform, which aims to provide services to make the smartwatch experience better. However, to bring about the enhancement, the company is not dependent on major software updates, while many of them provide changes through new updates.
For instance, last month saw the global implementation of a new update to Google Maps for WearOS devices, which included the ability to synchronize 3D buildings and display directions on public transport.
According to the information, now Google Developer is to guarantee the user OS that it will provide a whole new express for the Google Map. It has provided some new features, including a new shortcut to facilitate access to the map.
With the latest version of Google Maps 11.124.0702.W, the company has introduced a new Google Maps replacement search button with the ‘Map’ button, which allows you to directly access the map view.
However, there is no important or majorly significant feature spotted in the update, but the developers of Mountain View Company are dedicatedly providing some innovation in the next update. To take advantage of the new feature, you just need to search for the update.
Samsung is all set to expand its Galaxy smartwatch area, but this time under the new title, Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Surely, the Korean giant will introduce a brand new Galaxy watch at the Galaxy Unpacked event, but it appears that the plan is to ditch the Watch 7 Pro for the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Previously, we reported that this time Samsung could introduce three variants of the next-generation Galaxy Watch 7: Standard, Classic, and Pro. But now a recent report is claiming that Samsung might introduce the Watch Utra instead of the Watch 7 Pro.
Earlier, a larger battery of 578 mAh was reported for the forthcoming Galaxy Watch, along with the model number EB-BL705ABY. If the recent reports are to be believed, three distinct model numbers will come into existence for the upcoming Galaxy Watch Ultra, which are as follows: SM-L705U, SM-L705N, and SM-L705F.
These model numbers represent the US, Korea, and Global. The new Watch Utra will be officially launched in various regions. The Galaxy Watch FE will bring similar features to the Galaxy Watch 4, introduced back in 2021. This fan edition of the Galaxy Watch is expected to arrive in the coming months and will be available with particular models for the US, Korea, and other regions.
- SM-R866F, SM-R866U, and SM-R866N
Since the Korean giant is working on two different Galaxy Watch models, we are expecting some significant differences between the Watch Ultra and Watch FE. However, the brand has not revealed anything regarding both watches officially yet, but it is expected that the Watch Ultra could offer advanced sensors to provide more accurate GPS and workout activity tracking. It will be interesting to see what novelty these watches will bring.
The Korean brand ‘Samsung’ is actively working to expand its wearable smartwatch family by introducing a next-generation watch, the Galaxy Watch 7, which is expected to have a blood sugar monitoring feature.
Samsung is now appearing to introduce a new convenient functionality on the Galaxy smartwatch, as it may offer blood sugar monitoring with the Galaxy Watch 7. This is being speculated by a new report in South Korea.
We have already reported that Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked Event will be scheduled for July 10th, 2024, at which it will unveil the Galaxy Watch 7 and many other devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Ring.
The Vice President and head of digital healthcare at Samsung Electronics, Hon. Pak, highlighted the brand’s work on achieving noninvasive blood sugar monitoring through its wearable devices early this year. Apart from this, he also pointed out that Samsung was putting in ‘ asignificant investment” to make them happen.
Pak recently met with the advisory board members of the Samsung Health platform at the Samsung Medical Center in Seoul to discuss blood sugar monitoring, diabetes, and the application of AI to Samsung Health. It is expected that the Korean giant will offer blood sugar monitoring for the upcoming Galaxy Watch 7 series.
However, the giant probably decided to classify the smartwatch as an electronic device instead of a medical device, largely due to regulatory considerations. It could also happen that this feature may be made available on the Samsung Galaxy Ring.
