The Galaxy Watch8 series is expected to launch in early July, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7. It will feature the Exynos W1000 chip, known for its powerful penta-core CPU setup and efficient 3nm manufacturing process. The series will include a Classic model with a “squircle” design similar to the Galaxy Watch Ultra. Specifications for the Watch8 Classic suggest a size of 46/47mm, a 1.5-inch screen, and a 450 mAh battery, running One UI 8 Watch on Wear OS 6.
The Galaxy Watch8 series is set to launch soon. Current information suggests it will be available in early July, coinciding with the release of the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7. We have gathered considerable details about the Watch8, and recent industry speculations indicate that Samsung plans to reuse its Exynos W1000 chip from the previous year.
The Exynos W1000 remains a leader in the smartwatch market. It is arguably one of the fastest, featuring a penta-core CPU with four ARM Cortex-A55 cores, operational at up to 1.5 GHz, alongside a Cortex-A78 core that can reach 1.6 GHz. It is accompanied by a Mali-G68 MP2 GPU and swift LPDDR5 RAM. The W1000 is produced using an efficient 3nm GAA technology.
In addition, we anticipate that the Galaxy Watch8 series will reintroduce the Classic model. Renders of the Watch8 Classic reveal a “squircle” design similar to that of the Galaxy Watch Ultra. It appears that both the standard Watch8 and the Watch8 Classic will share the same case shape.
Other rumored specifications for the Watch8 Classic suggest a size of 46/47mm with a diagonal screen measuring 1.5 inches, translating to dimensions of 46 x 46.5 x 14.2 mm. We expect a 450 mAh battery and likely the One UI 8 Watch interface, based on Wear OS 6.
