TL;DR
- FCC filings revealed details about the upcoming Galaxy Watch 7 series.
- The listings identify four expected models encompassing different sizes and connectivity options.
- A mysterious fifth model number, SM-R861, has also surfaced in the filings.
Samsung is gearing up for a summer filled with wearable launches, with the highly anticipated Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Watch 7 series expected to launch in just a few months. However, recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filings have revealed a surprising addition to the lineup: a potential Galaxy Watch FE.
THE FCC Registrationsspotted by DroidLife, confirm the Galaxy Watch 7 model numbers. Model numbers SM-L300 and SM-L310, presumably the 40mm and 44mm Bluetooth-only versions of the Galaxy Watch 7, respectively, align with previous naming conventions from Samsung. The SM-L305 and SM-L315 are likely their LTE counterparts, as indicated by the inclusion of cellular connectivity in the FCC documents.
The listings also feature a previously unreported model number. SM-R861. The documents explicitly refer to it as a watch, confirming that it is a separate product from the Galaxy Ring. Additionally, the documents indicate that this variant of the Galaxy Watch will only support Bluetooth connectivity, further strengthening the possibility that it will be a more affordable option within the lineup.
There are no further details on this new model, so we will have to wait until the launch event to find out more. Although Samsung has yet to officially announce its Galaxy Unpacked event, it is expected to take place on July 10.
