Last week we saw a leaked photo of the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, the photo was released by Evan Blass and now some more photos have been posted online.
There are two versions of the Galaxy Watch 3, one is a 41mm device and the other is a 45mm device. The new photos show a 41mm bronze version of the smartwatch.
The watch will apparently be available in three colors: the bronze version, a stainless steel version, and a dark metal version. All three colors can be seen above.
Design and Display
The Galaxy Watch 3 is rumored to come with a 1.2-inch display on the 41mm model and a 1.4-inch display on the 45mm model. The display is expected to be a Super AMOLED screen, which is known for its vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it ideal for outdoor visibility and overall user experience. The watch is also expected to feature a rotating bezel, a popular feature from previous Galaxy Watch models that allows for easy navigation through the watch’s interface.
Hardware and Sensors
Under the hood, the Galaxy Watch 3 will apparently come with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. This should provide ample space for apps, music, and other data, while the 1GB of RAM will ensure smooth performance. The watch is also expected to come with a range of sensors, including a blood pressure monitor and an ECG (electrocardiogram). These health-focused features are becoming increasingly important in smartwatches, as they allow users to monitor their health metrics in real-time.
In addition to the blood pressure monitor and ECG, the Galaxy Watch 3 is expected to include other sensors such as a heart rate monitor, accelerometer, gyroscope, and possibly even a SpO2 sensor for measuring blood oxygen levels. These sensors will provide a comprehensive suite of health and fitness tracking capabilities, making the Galaxy Watch 3 a versatile device for both casual users and fitness enthusiasts.
Software and Features
The Galaxy Watch 3 is expected to run on Samsung’s Tizen operating system, which has been praised for its smooth performance and intuitive interface. Tizen offers a wide range of apps and watch faces, allowing users to customize their watch to suit their preferences. The watch is also expected to support Samsung Pay, enabling users to make contactless payments directly from their wrist.
Another notable feature is the inclusion of LTE connectivity in some models, allowing users to make and receive calls, send messages, and stream music without needing to be connected to a smartphone. This feature is particularly useful for those who want to stay connected while on the go, without the need to carry their phone with them.
Battery Life and Durability
Battery life is always a critical factor for smartwatches, and the Galaxy Watch 3 is expected to offer a respectable battery life, likely lasting up to two days on a single charge, depending on usage. The watch is also expected to feature wireless charging, making it convenient to keep the device powered up.
In terms of durability, the Galaxy Watch 3 is expected to come with a MIL-STD-810G rating, indicating that it can withstand harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, shock, and vibration. It is also expected to have an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, making it suitable for swimming and other water-based activities.
Release and Pricing
We are expecting Samsung to unveil their new Galaxy Watch at a press event in August, along with the Samsung Galaxy Note 20. While pricing details have not been confirmed, it is expected that the Galaxy Watch 3 will be priced similarly to its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch Active 2, which started at around $279 for the base model.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 is shaping up to be a feature-packed smartwatch with a focus on health and fitness tracking, robust hardware, and a sleek design. With its expected release just around the corner, it will be interesting to see how it stacks up against other smartwatches on the market.
