Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra
By Sherlene Hiu
Samsung is known for its electronics and products and their competition with Apple and Google remains strong. Lately, they have announced an Android smartwatch and are looking forward to its debut in July or August. With the Galaxy series remaining prominent in the company and a forever favorite of the product line, beloved Android users and tech enthusiasts are seeking the value and expectations of the company.
The Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra is believed to be released in the summer of 2024 as their previous watches were announced in the same season. The design is shown to have a square case with a similar circle display, surrounded by sapphire glass. There is a predicament that the new smartwatch will have a microLED screen that places a more bright and visual look on the overall appearance. Colors for Ultra will also come in gray, white, and silver. Predictions of the price are said to be around $700, which compares similarly to other competitors like Apple. However, there is some divide between people with its cost being a lot more expensive than desired. This, in turn, makes others wonder about the smartwatch’s quality. It is also rumored to have health and fitness tracking components to the watch, like their current Watch series. However, it is expected that there will be additional features, such as heart rate monitoring, body temperature checks, and sleep analysis that can assist with user’s wellness.
As for its performance, it is predicted to have 32G for storage and 3,000 nits, in terms of levels of brightness. Those looking forward to Ultra can have more capacity, allowing ease and practicality for apps. Battery life is also emphasized to work efficiently as news revealed that it has an Exynos W1000 processor, believed to leverage its performance. The processor has 3 nm process technology, offering some expectations for long-lasting battery life and user satisfaction. It can be assumed that the processor will ensure a jump from previous watches and is seen to be an upgrade in terms of tech.
With Samsung’s frequent release of products and the anticipated leaks of Ultra, users question the features and cost of the watch. However, it is not clear how it will actually function and how it compares to others in the Watch series. Ultra projects that its upgrade in processor and wear accessibility is far advanced and may reach the standards as predicted by users. Samsung’s consistency in their electronics may bring a new perspective to enthusiasts, and their reputation still reigns as one of the leading competitors in the tech industry.
