TL;DR
- A regulatory physique seems to substantiate {that a} Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is on the way in which.
- Multiple regulatory our bodies additionally seem to indicate a mannequin variety of SM-L705F and 10W charging.
- The Galaxy Watch 7 collection, together with the Galaxy Watch Ultra, may launch on July 10.
We’re anticipating a complete slew of Galaxy Watches to come back quickly. Alongside the anticipated Galaxy Watch 7 collection — which incorporates the usual and Classic variants — we’re additionally anticipating a Galaxy Watch FE and a Galaxy Watch Ultra. While the previous remains to be shrouded in a little bit of thriller, an increasing number of proof helps the latter is on the way in which.
Today, by way of MySmartPrice, we’ve an obvious affirmation of the “Ultra” moniker. The United Arab Emirates regulatory physique Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) has a public itemizing for a “Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra” with mannequin quantity SM-L705F. This mannequin quantity matches an analogous United States submitting by way of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), though it doesn’t use the “Ultra” name. Either means, it looks like we’re getting a Galaxy Watch Ultra at some point.
Interestingly, the itemizing doesn’t name it a Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra. This is how we’ve been referring to it for months, so it appears a bit unusual that the “7” isn’t in there on this submitting. It’s doable it was omitted in error, or it’s doable Samsung goes to make the Ultra its personal factor and never contain the identical numbering conference as present watches.
If that’s the case, it will be much like what Apple did with its personal Apple Watch Ultra. Despite that touchdown with the Series 8 fashions of the common Apple Watches, the Ultra began its personal distinct line, which acquired its second-gen mannequin final 12 months. It’s doable Samsung is solely copping this technique.
Given how the Ultra mannequin appears (you possibly can see leaked Galaxy Watch Ultra renders for your self), it will make sense to maintain it separate from the Galaxy Watch 7 lineup. It appears very completely different and can possible assist many options the opposite watches don’t.
Another curious factor from these regulatory listings is that the Galaxy Watch Ultra has a listed charging velocity of 10W. This is 5W slower than the FCC listings present for the Galaxy Watch 7 collection and the identical speeds seen on the Galaxy Watch 6 collection. Generally, an Ultra mannequin ought to cost as shortly (or faster) than non-Ultra gadgets, so we’re undecided what to make of this.
Either means, all rumors level to Samsung launching its new watches on July 10. Once that date is confirmed, we’ll most likely have a greater concept of what’s coming.
