Galaxy Unpacked | Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 launched with no Classic variant
With the Galaxy Watch Classic lineup effectively dead and replaced by the Galaxy Watch Ultra, Samsung wearable enthusiasts still have the Galaxy Watch 7. Fundamentally, it is a Galaxy Watch Ultra with a cheaper price tag and less premium materials. Contrary to earlier leaks, both offer identical features, making the Galaxy Watch 7 an attractive buy for those who don't want to drop 700 Euros on a smartwatch.
Like its predecessors, the Galaxy Watch 7 is offered in 40 and 44 mm flavours. The former comes with a 1.3-inch AMOLED screen (432 x 432) and the latter with a 1.5-inch (480 x 480) panel. Similarly, the 40 mm version comes with a 300 mAh battery while the 44 mm variant ups it to 425 mAh. Samsung says the Galaxy Watch 7 can sustain up to 5 ATM pressure (vs 10 on the Watch Ultra) and comes with MIL-STD-810H certification.
Under the hood, the smartwatch uses Samsung's new 3 nm Exynos W1000 SoC and comes with 32 GB storage (21 GB usable) and 2 GB RAM. Other features include a dual-frequency GPS system (L1 + L5), Glonass, Beidou, Galileo. Its health features include Samsung's BioActive sensor, an infrared temperature sensor, and body composition detector (BIA sensor). The price of each SKU is as follows:
- Galaxy Watch 7 Bluetooth (44 mm): €349
- Galaxy Watch 7 LTE (44 mm): €399
- Galaxy Watch 7 Bluetooth (40 mm): €319
- Galaxy Watch 7 LTE (40 mm): €369
